慢惊者，因病后或吐或泻，脾胃虚损，遍身冷，口鼻气出亦冷，手足时时螈 ，昏睡露睛，此无阳也，栝蒌汤主之。
凡慢惊之候，或吐或泻，痰鸣微喘，眼开神缓，睡则露睛，惊跳搐搦，乍发乍静，或身热身冷，四肢热，口鼻冷气，面
色淡白淡青，或眉青唇青，其脉沉迟散缓。盖由急惊，过用寒凉，或转下太骤，传变成之，又有吐利不止而成者，有气
虚暴吐泻而成者，有脏腑虚洞泄而成者，有久利气脱而成者，有取泻下积而成者，有吐血下血而成者，有感风不解，伤
寒传变而成者，有久嗽作痫不已者，有虫积冲心者，有疝气腹痛者，或日夜汗出，脾困多睡，烦躁引饮，四肢浮肿，大
小便闭，丹瘤肿毒，龙带缠腰，走马急疳，并传慢候，惟吐泻积利成虚致之，则证变甚速，治法须当审问源流，不可一
概用药。曰慢候，如吐泻得之，则理中汤加木香以温其中，五苓散以导其水。如脏寒洞泄得之，则先与术附汤。下积取
转得之，则先与调气散，调和脾胃。如外感风寒，则可与桂枝汤、葛根汤辈，其他可以类推矣。然慢惊虽属阴，亦须准
较阴阳亏盛，浅深如何，不可纯用温药及燥烈大热之剂，惟于生胃气中，加以截风定搐，如全蝎、花蛇、僵蚕、白附、
天麻、南星辈为良方。传慢候而尚有阳证者，不必回阳，但与截风调胃，可冷可热，惟均平阴阳而已，太乙保生丹、聚
宝丹、蝉蝎散、神宝既济丹、来复丹、王氏惺惺散、醒脾散、大醒脾散、温白丸，可选而用之。若阳亏阴盛，病已传过，
纯属慢惊，无搐掣反引窜视之证，而但昏沉者，与星香全蝎散、定命饮子、四圣散、乌蝎四君子汤、天南星散、乌沉汤、
沉香散之属。若手足冰冷者，方可回阳，用硫黄、附子。慢惊下痰，身暖者，天南星丸、苏合香丸、白丸子；痰盛者，
神宝既济丹、礞石散；虚甚不可下痰者，灵脂丸、七珍丸。如脑、麝、巴霜寒凉通关利肠之辈，一切禁止。如未发慢惊，
先要睡，吐舌摇头，面青毛皮竖，吐乳作腥，额上有汗，此证乃吐后胃虚生风，当下截风醒脾散，或四君子汤加全蝎、
防风，银白散或钩藤饮去麻黄。更宜多方，走变药饵，不可轻忽。又有慢惊正发，泄泻吐乳，冷汗，双眼闭，唇红舌出，
摇头发直，两胁动，心闷气粗口疮，当用南星末贴脚底心，常进参汤尤好。少间口疮，不纳乳食，名曰锁膈，却难救。
凡小儿病证，见口如鱼口作鸦声者不治，圣济经有琥珀丸、南星煎等剂，皆可服。论曰∶心藏神而恶热，小儿体性多热，
若感风邪，则风热搏于脏腑，其气郁愤，内乘于心，令儿神志不宁，故发为惊，若惊甚不已，则悸动不宁，是为惊悸之
病，紫金散、牛黄散、大丹砂丸治之。其急惊则有龙齿散、四圣散等剂，可选而用之。

Slow convulsion refers to a condition occurring after an illness, characterized by vomiting or diarrhea, leading to deficiency and damage of the Spleen and Stomach. The whole body feels cold, the breath from the mouth and nose is also cold, the limbs occasionally twitch or convulse, the patient sleeps drowsily with eyes half-open showing the whites. This indicates a lack of Yang Qi (deficiency of Yang energy), and it is primarily treated with Gualou Tang (Trichosanthes Decoction).
Generally, the manifestations of slow convulsion include vomiting or diarrhea, phlegm rattle in the throat with slight wheezing, eyes open but with a slack expression, sleeping with eyes half-open, startle jumps and convulsions alternating with periods of calm, or fever in the trunk with cold limbs, or warm limbs with cold breath, pale white or pale cyan complexion, cyan eyebrows or lips, and a pulse that is deep, slow, scattered, or moderate. These conditions often arise from excessive use of cold-natured medicines during acute convulsion, or too rapid purgation, causing transformation into this syndrome. Others result from persistent vomiting and diarrhea, sudden severe vomiting and diarrhea due to Qi deficiency, hole-like diarrhea (watery stool) due to visceral cold, Qi collapse from chronic diarrhea, accumulation removal via incorrect purgation, hematemesis or hematochezia, unresolved wind-cold pathogen transforming from Taiyang disease, chronic cough progressing to epilepsy, intestinal parasites rushing to the heart, hernia with abdominal pain, profuse sweating day and night, Spleen fatigue with excessive sleep, irritability with thirst for drinking, edema of limbs, obstruction of urination and defecation, carbuncles and sores, herpes zoster (Shingles), rapid gangrene of the gums, all of which can transform into slow convulsion patterns. Among these, only those caused by deficiency resulting from prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, and accumulation are particularly prone to rapid progression. Treatment methods must carefully investigate the origin and course of the disease; one cannot apply medications indiscriminately. If caused by vomiting and diarrhea, Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) plus Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) should be used to warm the Middle Jiao, and Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) to guide out water retention. If caused by visceral cold and hole-like diarrhea, Shuzhu Fuzi Tang (Atractylodes and Aconite Decoction) should be administered first. If resulting from purging accumulated matter, Tiaoqi San (Regulate Qi Powder) should be used first to harmonize the Spleen and Stomach. If caused by external wind-cold, Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) or Gegen Tang (Kudzu Root Decoction) may be used; other cases can be inferred analogously. However, although slow convulsion belongs to Yin syndromes, one must accurately assess the depth of Yin-Yang imbalance. One should not solely use warm, dry, and intensely hot agents. Instead, while generating Stomach Qi, add herbs that extinguish wind and stop spasms, such as Quanxie (Scorpio), Huashe (Bamboo Pit Viper), Jiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus), Baifu (Typhonii Rhizoma), Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma), and Nanting (Arisaematis Rhizoma), which constitute good prescriptions. If slow convulsion presents with remaining Yang symptoms, there is no need to restore Yang; instead, focus on extinguishing wind and regulating the Stomach. Medications can be either cooling or warming, aiming merely to balance Yin and Yang. Suitable formulas include Taiyi Baosheng Dan (Great Unity Protect Life Pill), Jubao Dan (Treasure Accumulation Pill), Chanxie San (Cicada and Scorpion Powder), Shenbao Jiji Dan (Divine Treasure Mutual Completion Pill), Laifu Dan (Restoring Vitality Pill), Wangshi Xingxing San (Wang’s Awakening Powder), Xingpi San (Awaken Spleen Powder), Da Xingpi San (Great Awaken Spleen Powder), and Wenbai Wan (Warm White Pill). If Yang is deficient and Yin is excessive, and the disease has progressed to pure slow convulsion without convulsions, retroversion, or lateral gaze, but only with lethargy, prescribe Xingxiang Quanxie San (Star-Aucklandia Scorpion Powder), Dingming Yinzi (Life-Determining Drink), Sisheng San (Four Sages Powder), Wu Xie Sijunzi Tang (Black Scorpion Four Gentlemen Decoction), Tiannanxing San (Arisaema Powder), Wuchen Tang (Black Musk Decoction), or Chenxiang San (Aquilaria Powder). Only if the hands and feet are ice-cold should one restore Yang using Huiyang (Restore Yang) methods with Huangqi (Sulfur) and Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root). For slow convulsion with phlegm and warmth of the body, use Tiannanxing Wan (Arisaema Pill), Suhexiang Wan (Liquid Amber Pill), or Baiwanzi (White Pills); for excessive phlegm, use Shenbao Jiji Dan or Mengshi San (Malachite Powder); for extreme deficiency where phlegm cannot be purged, use Lingzhi Wan (Trogopterus Dung Pill) or Shizhen Wan (Seven Treasures Pill). Cold-natured drugs like Tongguan Lichang (Opening Passages and Purging Intestines) agents such as Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis), Shexiang (Moschus), and Bashuang (Crotonis Semen Preparatum) are strictly prohibited. Before slow convulsion attacks, if the child sleeps excessively, sticks out the tongue, shakes the head, has cyan face and erect hair, vomits milk with a fishy smell, and sweats on the forehead, this indicates wind generated by Stomach deficiency after vomiting. Treat immediately with Jiexing Xingpi San (Stop Wind and Awaken Spleen Powder), or Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) plus Quanxie (Scorpio) and Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Yín Bái Sǎn (Silver White Powder), or Gouteng Yin (Uncaria Decoction) minus Mahuang (Ephedra Herb). More diverse approaches and flexible medication changes are necessary; do not neglect this. During active slow convulsion, if there is diarrhea, vomiting of milk, cold sweat, closed eyes, red lips, protruding tongue, head shaking, stiff neck, rib movement, chest oppression, coarse breathing, and mouth ulcers, apply Tiannanxing powder (Arisaema powder) to the sole of the foot. Frequent administration of Renshen Tang (Ginseng Decoction) is beneficial. If later mouth ulcers appear and the child refuses milk and food, it is called Suoge (Locked Diaphragm), which is difficult to save. Any pediatric condition presenting with a mouth opening like a fish's mouth and crow-like sounds is incurable. According to *Shengji Jing* (Holy Medicine Classic), Hupo Wan (Amber Pill) and Nanxing Jian (Arisaema Decoction) can be taken. It is stated: The Heart stores the Spirit and dislikes heat. Children’s constitutions are naturally hot. If they contract wind pathogens, wind-heat clashes within the Zang-Fu organs, causing Qi stagnation and anger, invading the Heart internally, disturbing the Spirit and causing fright. If fright persists severely, palpitations and restlessness occur, constituting Jingji Disease (Fright-Palpitation Disease), treated with Zijin San (Purple Gold Powder), Niuhuang San (Calculus Bovis Powder), and Dadansha Wan (Large Cinnabar Pill). For acute convulsion, Longchi San (Dragon Tooth Powder) and Sisheng San (Four Sages Powder) are available options.
