(Also known as "Big Head Typhoid".)
Redness and swelling of the head and eyes, especially severe around the ears, with unbearable pain. Accompanied by fever and aversion to cold, a sensation of blockage in the throat, trismus (lockjaw), thick and sticky nasal discharge and saliva, and difficulty in eating and drinking. Use Tuoli Wenjing Tang (Supporting Interior and Warming Meridian Decoction). Take according to the prescription. Wrap the head with thin clothing, cover the body with thick blankets, and lie in a warm place to warm the meridian blood, open the couli (pores and skin texture), dissipate cold qi, and raise yang qi. After profuse sweating, the swelling will reduce by eight or nine tenths. At this point, remove Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) and Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), add Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus) and Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus), and complete recovery will ensue.

(When ulcerated for a long time, it is called "Mole Cricket String".)
The lesion arises within the hair of infants. The mass is not red. Initially, it is often mistaken for swelling due to trauma. Awareness only comes when the swelling becomes high and painful. Physicians generally consider the head to be a Yang region, so Xiaojin Dan (Little Golden Pill) should be used for treatment. Three doses at the initial stage can eliminate the swelling. Seven pills after ulceration lead to cure. Apply Yanghe Jiening Gao (Yanghe Resolving Hardness Plaster) externally. If decoctions can be taken, Jiawei Baoyuan Tang (Modified Baoyuan Decoction) with added Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) and Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) yields particularly good results.
