（但吐利而不霍乱）
《巢氏病源》小儿吐利候∶吐利者，由肠虚而胃气逆故也。小儿有解脱，而风冷入肠胃，肠胃虚则泄利，胃
气逆则呕吐。此大体与霍乱相似而小轻不剧，闷顿，故直云吐利，亦不呼为霍乱也。

钱乙论夏秋吐泻，五月二十五以后吐泻身壮热，此热也，小儿脏腑十分中九分热也。或因伤热，乳食吐乳

钱乙论吐泻，争上去∶广亲此宅，四大王宫五太尉病吐泻不止，米谷不化，众医用补药，言用姜汁调服之。
六月中服温药，一日益加喘吐不定。钱曰∶当以凉药治之，所以然者，谓伤热在内也。用石膏汤三服，并服
之。众医皆言∶吐泻多而米谷不化，当补脾，何以用凉药？王信众医，又用丁香散三服。钱后至曰∶不可服此，
三日外必腹满身热，饮水吐逆。三日外一如所言。所以然者，谓六月热甚，伏入腹中而令引饮，热伤脾胃即大
吐泻。他医又行温药，即上焦亦热，故喘而引饮，三日当死。众医不能治，复召钱至宫中。见有热证，以白虎
汤三服，更以白饼子下之，一日减药二分，二日、三日又与白虎汤各二服。四日用石膏汤一服，旋合麦门冬、
黄芩、脑子、牛黄、天竺黄，茯苓、以朱砂为衣，与五丸，竹叶汤化下，热退而安。
钱乙论虚实下药云∶冯承务子五岁，吐泻壮热不思食。钱氏曰∶目中黑睛少而白睛多，面色 白，此子必

为微有食也。如伤食甚则可下，不下则成癖也。实食在内，乃可下之，下毕，补脾必愈。随其虚实无不效者。
钱乙有吐泻问难云∶广亲宫七太尉，七岁，病吐泻。是时七月，其证全不食而昏睡，睡觉而闷乱、哽气、
干呕、大便或有或无、不渴。众医作惊治之，疑睡故也。钱曰∶先补脾后退热，与使君子丸补脾，退热石膏汤。
次日又以水银、硫黄二物下之，生姜水调下一字。钱曰∶凡吐泻五月内，九分下而一分补。八月内，十分补
而无一分下。此者是脾虚泻，医妄治之，至于虚损，下之即死。当只补脾，若以使君子丸即缓。钱又留温胃益
脾药止之。医者李生曰∶何食而 ？钱曰∶脾虚而不能食，津少即 逆。曰何泻青褐水？曰∶肠胃至虚，冷极
故也。钱治而愈。
钱乙附方，凡小儿吐泻当温补之。余每用理中丸以温其中，以五苓散导其逆，五苓最治小儿吐。连与数服，兼用异
功散等温药调理之，往往便愈。若已虚损，当速生其胃气，宜与附子理中丸，并研金液丹末，煎生姜、米饮调

州白丸子一、二分，同研如上服。以意详之，渐减金液丹，加白丸子，兼用异功散、羌活膏、温白丸、钩藤饮子
之类调理至安。根据此治之，仍频与粥，虽至危者，往往死中得生，十救八、九。

(Manifesting only as vomiting and diarrhea, rather than cholera-like syndrome)
*Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases), Syndrome of Vomiting and Diarrhea in Children: Vomiting and diarrhea result from intestinal deficiency and rebellious stomach qi. After a newborn's umbilical cord is cut, if wind-cold pathogens invade the intestines and stomach, the deficiency of the intestines and stomach leads to diarrhea, while rebellious stomach qi causes vomiting. This condition resembles cholera-like syndrome in general presentation but is milder and less severe, accompanied by mental restlessness and fatigue; therefore, it is directly termed "vomiting and diarrhea" (Tu Li) and not referred to as "cholera-like syndrome" (Huo Luan).
Qian Yi discussed cases where newborns within three days exhibit vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, anorexia, and undigested milk/food in stool, or white stool. This is food stagnation (Shang Shi), requiring purgation followed by harmonizing the stomach. For purgation, use *Baibing Zi* (White Pill Decoction) (see this section); for harmonizing the stomach, primarily use *Yihuang San* (Yellow-Protecting Powder) (see Stomach Qi Disharmony section).
Qian Yi discussed cases from three days to ten days after birth presenting with vomiting, diarrhea, normal or slightly cool body temperature, anorexia, greenish-white stool, and undigested milk/food. This indicates excess above and deficiency below (Shang Shi Xia Xu). Accompanying symptoms include: Lung governs sleep with eyes partially open (Lu Jing) and wheezing; Heart governs palpitations and thirst; Spleen governs lethargy and excessive sleep; Liver governs yawning and dizziness; Kidney governs muteness and photophobia. Purging methods should be applied based on the involved viscera. To tonify the spleen, use *Yihuang San*. These two syndromes often occur in autumn and summer. (*Yihuang San* formula see Stomach Qi Disharmony section).
Qian Yi discussed summer and autumn vomiting and diarrhea: Vomiting and diarrhea with high fever occurring after May 25th indicate heat syndrome, where nine-tenths of the child's viscera are hot. Due to heat injury, vomited milk is undigested, and diarrhea is deep yellow; treat with *Yulu San* (Jade Dew Powder). Vomiting and diarrhea occurring after June 15th with normal body temperature, appearing slightly hot, indicate six-tenths heat and four-tenths cold in the viscera. Undigested milk in vomit, yellowish-white diarrhea, apparent thirst, variable feeding habits; administer *Yihuang San* before meals and more *Yulu San* after meals. Vomiting and diarrhea occurring after July 7th with normal-to-cool body temperature indicate three-tenths heat and seven-tenths cold. Inability to feed, excessive sleepiness, mental confusion, gasping, long sighs, sleeping with eyes open, white lips, frequent hiccups, urge to defecate without thirst; administer more *Yihuang San* before meals and less *Yulu San* after meals. Vomiting and diarrhea occurring after August 15th indicate coldness without yang, inability to feed, dry heaving, and greenish-brown watery diarrhea; tonify the spleen using *Yihuang San*, and do not use purgatives. (*Yulu San* see this section, *Yihuang San* see Stomach Qi Disharmony section).
Qian Yi debated treatments for vomiting and diarrhea: The Fifth Taiwei of the Guangqin Residence suffered from persistent vomiting and diarrhea with undigested grain. Physicians used tonic medicines, advising administration with ginger juice. In June, warm medicines were given, worsening wheezing and vomiting daily. Qian Yi stated: "It should be treated with cooling medicines because there is internal heat injury." He prescribed *Shigao Tang* (Gypsum Decoction) three times. Other physicians argued: "Severe vomiting and diarrhea with undigested grain requires spleen tonification; why use cooling medicine?" The Prince believed them and administered *Dingxiang San* (Clove Powder) three times. Qian Yi later arrived and said: "Do not take this. Within three days, abdominal distension, fever, thirst, and vomiting will occur." Three days later, it happened exactly as predicted. This occurred because the intense heat of June penetrated the abdomen, causing thirst; heat injuring the spleen and stomach led to severe vomiting and diarrhea. Other doctors' use of warm medicines caused upper jiao heat, leading to wheezing and thirst, resulting in death within three days. Unable to cure, they summoned Qian Yi again. Observing heat signs, he administered *Baihu Tang* (White Tiger Decoction) three times, followed by *Baibing Zi* to purge. On day one, reduce dosage by two fen; on days two and three, give *Baihu Tang* twice each. On day four, give one dose of *Shigao Tang*, compounded with *Mendong* (Ophiopogon Rhizome), *Huangqin* (Scutellaria Root), *Naozi* (Borneol), *Niuhuang* (Calculus Bovis), *Tianzhuhuang* (Calamus Rhizome), and *Fuling* (Poria), coated with *Zhusha* (Cinnabar), five pills per dose, dissolved in bamboo leaf decoction. Fever subsided, and the patient recovered.
Qian Yi discussed purgation based on deficiency and excess: A five-year-old son of Feng Chengwu presented with vomiting, diarrhea, high fever, and anorexia. Qian Yi noted: "Few black pupils and many white sclerae, pale complexion; this child is prone to illness. Pale complexion indicates deficient spirit; few black pupils indicate kidney deficiency. Black pupils belong to Water; inherently deficient and weak, hence prone to illness. Even upon growth, muscles will not be robust, and tolerance to cold and heat will be poor. Prone to shifting between deficiency and excess, spleen and stomach are also weak; further indulgence in desires is forbidden. Without care, lifespan will not reach adulthood. A lack of spiritual luster on the face resembles blood loss in women. Current vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, and high fever indicate food stagnation. Do not purge, as it induces deficiency. Pathogens entering Lung cause wheezing; entering Heart cause fright; entering Spleen cause diarrhea; entering Kidney worsen deficiency. Use *Xiaoji Wan* (Accumulation-Dissolving Pill) to grind away accumulation, as it is mild food stagnation. If food stagnation is severe, purgation is required; otherwise, it becomes a mass (Pi Ji). Only when solid food stagnation exists internally can purgation be used. After purgation, tonify the spleen for recovery. Following deficiency/excess principles ensures efficacy."
Qian Yi addressed a difficult case: The Seventh Taiwei of Guangqin Palace, aged seven, suffered vomiting and diarrhea in July. Symptoms included total anorexia, lethargy, waking with confusion, gasping, dry heaving, intermittent stools, and no thirst. Physicians treated for fright due to sleep. Qian Yi said: "Tonify spleen first, then clear heat. Give *Shijunzi Wan* (Quisqualis Pill) to tonify spleen, and *Shigao Tang* to clear heat." The next day, mercury and sulfur were used to purge, mixed with ginger water. Qian Yi stated: "For vomiting/diarrhea in May, use nine parts purgation and one part tonification. In August, use ten parts tonification and zero parts purgation. This is spleen-deficiency diarrhea; erroneous treatment caused deficiency. Purging would be fatal. Only tonify spleen; *Shijunzi Wan* is gentler." Qian Yi also retained warming stomach and strengthening spleen herbs to stop symptoms. Physician Li Sheng asked: "What caused this?" Qian Yi replied: "Spleen deficiency prevents eating; low fluids cause rebellious qi." Asked about greenish-brown watery diarrhea, he answered: "Intestines and stomach are extremely deficient, extreme cold." Qian Yi cured him.
Qian Yi's attached formulas state that pediatric vomiting and diarrhea generally require warming and tonifying. I commonly use *Lizhong Wan* (Regulate the Middle Pill) to warm the middle jiao, and *Wuling San* (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) to guide rebellious qi downward; *Wuling San* is most effective for pediatric vomiting. Continuous administration combined with warming agents like *Yigong San* (Extraordinary Efficacy Powder) often cures the condition. If already deficient, rapidly generate stomach qi using *Fuzi Lizhong Wan* (Aconite Regulate the Middle Pill) mixed with powdered *Jinye Dan* (Golden Liquid Pill), administered with ginger and rice drink decoction. High doses are necessary for effect (up to 2-3 liang is safe). Once stomach qi returns, hands and feet warm, yin recedes, and yang returns. However, if convulsions persist, reduce *Jinye Dan* by 1-2 fen and increase *Qingzhou Baiwan Zi* (Qingzhou White Pills) by 1-2 fen, grinding together and administering as before. Adjust gradually, adding *Yigong San*, *Qianghuo Gao* (Notopterygium Paste), *Wenbai Wan* (Warm White Pill), *Gouteng Yinzi* (Uncaria Drink), etc., until stable. Following this regimen with frequent gruel allows survival even in critical cases, saving 8-9 out of 10.
*Yingtong Baojian*: If a wet nurse drinks alcohol or engages in licentious behavior, the milk becomes pathological. Symptoms include vomiting/diarrhea of green/yellow water, fever, and crying as if frightened. Untreatable.
