Chao Yuanfang stated: The disease known as "Er Bing" (also called Gui Zhu or Ji Bing, a chronic consumptive disease caused by the spirit of a previous fetus being jealous of a new one, or due to holding another's infant) in children, and during pregnancy when spirits guide the fetal energy causing jealousy towards the child, leads to this condition. Its manifestations include slight diarrhea, alternating chills and fever, sparse and withered hair, and a depressed mood.
The *Qianjin Fang* discusses: "Er" refers to the child spirit. When a woman first has a child who has not yet weaned or walked, and then becomes pregnant again, if the first child is not weaned promptly, they gradually become emaciated, with sparse yellowish hair, occasional high fever, and irregular bowel movements. This is called "Er Bing," also known as "Ji Bing." The treatment method should employ Zishuang Wan (Frost Pearl Pill) to purge accumulated milk, followed by Yihuang San (Yellow-Enhancing Powder) to tonify the spleen and stomach. Once the child is weaned, the condition will stabilize. Xiaoru Wan (Milk-Digesting Pill) and Yigong San (Extraordinary Meridian Powder) are also excellent formulas. If heat signs are present, Longdan Tang (Gentian Decoction) is used.

Yihuang San See Question 8.

The *Qianjin Fang* states: In spring and autumn, if children are suddenly exposed to cold in the morning or evening, the cold qi damages the four limbs. If heat cannot be vented, it results in high fever; if cold qi enters the stomach, it transforms into diarrhea. Stools may be red or white, occurring day and night without limit, accompanied by abdominal distension and pain, high fever, and a surging pulse, or urgent fever with a rapid pulse. It is appropriate to use Tiaozhong Tang (Middle-Regulating Decoction) to purge, after which the fever subsides and diarrhea improves. However, even if there is only high fever without vomiting or diarrhea, this formula is still suitable. Furthermore, at the end of summer and beginning of autumn, sudden cold striking intense heat leaves no outlet for dispersion. Pathogenic factors lodge in the skin and muscles; manifesting externally causes malaria, while internally causes dysentery. If both internal and external aspects are affected, both malaria and dysentery occur simultaneously. This is due to disharmony of Ying and Wei (nutritive and defensive qi), weakness of the intestines and stomach, and cold/heat pathogens invading due to deficiency. Additionally, dietary injury causes imbalance of cold and heat. Cold accumulation leads to white stools, heat accumulation leads to red stools, and their conflict results in mixed pus and blood. This is also due to stagnation. Red dysentery indicates accumulated heat, white dysentery indicates accumulated cold, and mixed colors indicate both. If spleen and stomach qi are deficient and unable to digest food and fluids, feces remain unformed. Or, if injured by wind-cold in spring, leading to weak intestines and stomach, sudden exposure to wind-cold can cause severe diarrhea. The Classics state: "Injury by wind in spring leads to undigested stool diarrhea in summer." For Tiaozhong Tang, remove Dahuang (Rhubarb Root) and add Zhike (Aurantium Fruit). If diarrhea persists, add Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome). For acute sudden diarrhea, Cheqianzi (Plantago Seed) powder mixed with rice water is effective. During hot months, Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria), Cheqianzi San, or Dengxin Tang (Juncus Decoction) can be taken. Popo San (Fire-Sprinkling Powder) modified may also be used. Taiyang and Yangming combined diseases必定 involve diarrhea, treated with Gegen Tang (Kudzu Decoction); if vomiting occurs, add Banxia (Pinellia Tuber). SiNi San (Reverse-Inversion Powder) is also applicable.

For tenesmus with diarrhea, first decoct Xiebai (Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus) strongly, add 3 qianbi of the powder, boil for one or two more boils, and take warm.
