When a child first contracts Shanghan (Cold Damage), the whole body becomes feverish without sweat, and the child often cries. Observing their eyes, they appear tense as if suffering from Jingfeng (Convulsions). At this stage, only dispersing methods to reduce fever should be used; do not allow thirst to develop. If the child is already thirsty and desires water incessantly, dispersing methods should still be employed. Formulas such as Qianghuo San (Notopterygium Powder), Sanhuang San (Three Yellows Powder), Chaihu San (Bupleurum Powder), or Baolong Wan (Embrace Dragon Pill) may be used. For deficiency-related vexation, Zhuye Tang (Bamboo Leaf Decoction) can be applied. If there is coughing, Xixin San (Wash Heart Powder), Bohe San (Mint Powder), or Hongmian San (Red Cotton Powder) should be administered. When slight sweating occurs in the four limbs, the spirit naturally becomes joyful and refreshed. For severe cases of Shanghan, treatment should follow the methods of Zhang Zhongjing.
Another condition is Shanghan with夾惊 (Shanghan complicated by Convulsions/Fright). First, disperse the exterior pathogen, then reduce fever, resolve phlegm, and arrest convulsions. For nursing infants, Baolong Wan or Qianghuo San added with Jingjie (Schizonepeta) and Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia) can be used, or Sanhuang San to induce mild purgation for heat. For phlegm-heat syndromes, subsequently regulate with formulas containing Chaihu (Bupleurum) and Huangqin (Scutellaria), and the condition will naturally stabilize. Congbai Tang (Scallion White Decoction) is also acceptable.
Qianghuo San: Treats Shanghan-induced Jingre (Fright-Heat) or wind-stroke causing body stiffness. Mahuang (Ephedra) and Genge (Pueraria) and Yiyiren (Coix Seed) may be added.

Zhuye Shigao Tang: Treats Shanghan with both exterior and interior deficiency, chest vexation, or after sweating when the disease has resolved but internal fluids are depleted, leading to emaciation, shortness of breath, rebellious qi wanting to vomit, and various deficiency vexations, typically occurring after Shanghan resolves. Do not administer if Shanghan has not yet resolved.
