《巢氏病源》∶小儿惊者，由血气不和，热实在内，心神不定，所以发惊，甚者掣缩变成痫。又小儿变蒸，
亦微惊，所以然者，亦由热气所为。但须微发惊，以长血脉，不欲大惊，大惊乃灸惊脉。若五、六十日以灸者，
惊复更甚。生百日后，灸惊脉，乃善耳。
《圣惠》论∶夫小儿急惊风者，由气血不和，内有实热，为风邪所乘，干于心络之所致也。心者，神之所舍，
主于血脉。若热盛则血乱，血乱则气并于血，气血相并，又被风邪所搏，故惊而不安也。其候∶遍身壮热，痰
涎壅滞，四肢拘急，筋脉抽掣，项背强直，牙关紧急是也。
茅先生论∶小儿生下周岁以上至十岁已来，有中急惊风，客忤，卒死。些三种俱一般调理。各有初受起因∶
急惊风形候者，涎响双搐，双目直视，面口青黑，不记人事。此候因初生下儿浑阳，或将养剩有，衣被盖覆失
理；或因放送儿子大小便被鸡犬触惊；或因人家闹唤，大声小叫惊着遂积，渐次第惊，成积在心，家被风邪虚，
乃至此候。
钱乙论∶因闻大声或大惊而发搐，发过则如故，此无阴也。当下，利惊丸主之。（方见本门中。）小儿急惊者，本
因热生于心，身热面赤，引饮，口中气热，大小便黄赤，剧则搐也。盖热甚则风生，风属肝，此阳盛阴虚也，
故利惊丸主之。以除其痰热，不可与巴豆及温药大下之，恐搐，虚热不消也。小儿客忤，痰热于心胃，因闻声
非常，则动而惊搐矣。若热极，虽不因闻声及惊，亦自发搐。
张涣论∶小儿心神多不定，胞络多积痰涎，遂生邪热。若热盛，干于心神，兼外伤风邪客搏，使遍身壮热，
痰涎壅滞，四肢抽掣，牙关紧急，名曰急惊风病。
《婴童宝鉴》论∶小儿急惊风为惊痰灌于心，而眼上、手足螈 ，身热，牙关硬，口噤不开者也。
《秘要指迷》论∶凡小儿急惊风安痊，又经数日再发又安。如经三、四次，如此后发沉重，此乃惺惺形候，
不足凭也。
《玉诀》论∶小儿急惊风，因风热干心，先遭惊怖，前后惊涎并入于经络之间，其状发搐，眼吊唇黑，口噤
难开，手足搐搦。此病但以吐泻镇心调治方愈。若使冷热药相逼，恐损命也。
《石壁经》三十六种内才发急惊风候歌∶
才发惊风看握拳，指内指外细须言。（《凤髓经》注云∶大拇指也。） 阴内阳外为顺候，（是方始手足搐搦候，掌内
红润握手指，男儿大指在外，女儿在内即顺。）男左女右搐宜先。（一云∶搐令痊。）用药开关双眼下，（《献髓经》云∶
将药搐鼻。）又将形候再重看。（《凤髓经》云∶如嚏喷者不妨。）大忌闷涎潮入肺，结向心中不解痊。（若男子搐右，女搐
左，此为逆候，不治。颁涎如眼粘续续不断也，常利膈去涎。目若开，涎若散，则更当服去惊调气药，即止；若目不开，
涎不断者，必死矣。）远与凉心为治疗，解惊下药始求安。（《凤髓经》此一句云∶解经调气用汤丸。）脉逆阴阳须意（《凤
髓经》此一句云∶定搐疾时根据用意。）用，定知无命别人间。（男左女右搐搦顺也。《凤髓经》急风自发歌注云∶先将睹
月散搐鼻，方见搐搦门中，次镇心丸，方见一切惊门中，次生银丸，方见急慢惊风门中。）
《石壁经》三十六种内急惊风候歌∶
七日归前被物惊，（在七日内，因惊作热，发惊也。若婴儿变蒸，亦主惊，慎勿冷药过多。）发直喉干泻又青。（发如
麻直不润，但婴儿频吃乳，孩儿多饮水，所谓喉干，其泻多则青色也。）但看上唇微有汗，次观印内（一云∶腹上）有青
筋，掌中有似桃花嫩，怕物多涎听有声。会者镇惊为妙手，莫将风热一般名。
此乃外证候也。若治，先当镇惊药，次定渴化涎，则其疾必痊。虽孩儿气实，亦当调胃气，方下惊药，慎
勿过冷也。（《凤髓经》弱风急歌，一同云∶宜服镇心丸，生银丸。方见同前。）
《惠眼观证》急风说云∶内有风积热涎，急潮口中，身背强直，双目闭，双手足搐，或目瞪而喉中涎响，不
记人事，急以睡惊膏（方见本门中。）用蜜、糖、薄荷熟水磨下，须臾吐三、两口涎，眼即转低，即睡。少时，相次即
泻三、四次青白粘涎，下调气药，次日多睡，只用醒脾散。（方见吐利门中。）如不思食，乃下安胃药。喉中余涎，乃
下化涎汤药。相夹调治，三日安。至第四、第五日再有潮热，即是中风伤寒也。即麦汤散（方末见。）平胃丸（方见哕
逆门中。）两日平复。
《小方脉论》说∶急风之候，皆起于心脏也。所是诸般惊疾，累积在心，及至发时，先壮热，次搐搦，体热
极，四肢烦闷，浑身壮热，面颊赤色，口干舌躁。皆因惊扑所致也，治之在心。
长沙医者李刚中说云∶古书无惊候，阴阳痫而已。故阳受之曰急惊，阴受之曰慢惊。故阳动而躁，阳疾而
速；阴静而缓，阴慢而迟。小儿急搐得之于热淫所胜，表里连运，久而不除，肝风心火，因热相合，二脏交争，
其气蕃灼，而一肾水不能制二脏者也。又肝上筋及目，热则筋缩急，而风乘之则发搐，手足不能有所制，风相
牵引而目上视也。其有左右搐者，各以其偏胜也。医便以乌蛇、蜈蚣等药，是治标而不治本也。故钱用泻青丸
主肝风（方见惊热门中），导赤散泻心火（方见实热门中）。此医用之上药也。

*Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Master Chao) records: Infantile convulsion arises from disharmony of blood and qi, with excess heat inside the body, causing instability of the heart spirit (Shen), thus triggering convulsions; in severe cases, limb twitching and contraction occur, evolving into epilepsy. Additionally, during "bian zheng" (physiological developmental changes in infants), children may experience mild convulsions. This is also due to heat. Mild convulsions are permissible as they help nourish the blood vessels, but severe convulsions should be avoided; if severe convulsions occur, moxibustion on the "Jing Mai" (Convulsion Meridian) is required. If moxibustion is performed within fifty to sixty days after birth, convulsions may worsen. However, performing moxibustion on the Jing Mai after one hundred days of age is appropriate.
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* (Imperial Grace Formulary of the Taiping Era) discusses: Infantile acute convulsive wind (Ji Jing Feng) results from disharmony of blood and qi, internal excess heat, and invasion by wind pathogen interfering with the Heart collateral. The Heart houses the Shen and governs the blood vessels. When heat is excessive, blood circulation becomes chaotic; chaotic blood causes Qi to congregate with it, leading to conflict between Qi and Blood, compounded by wind pathogen attack, resulting in fright and restlessness. Clinical manifestations include: high fever throughout the body, accumulation and stagnation of phlegm-saliva, stiffness and urgency of the four limbs, spasms and twitching of tendons and vessels, rigidity of the neck and back, and lockjaw.
Master Mao discusses: Children from one year old up to ten years old may suffer from acute convulsive wind, Ke Wu (fright caused by external stimuli), or sudden death. These three conditions share similar management principles but have distinct initial causes. The presentation of acute convulsive wind includes: noisy breathing with phlegm, bilateral hand and foot convulsions, fixed staring eyes, cyanosis of the face and mouth, and loss of consciousness. This condition stems from the infant's inherent Yang excess, improper care such as overdressing, or fright from dogs/dogs near the infant's resting place, or loud noises startling the child. This leads to accumulation of fright Qi in the Heart, combined with deficiency and wind pathogen invasion.
Qian Yi discusses: Convulsions triggered by loud noises or fright, resolving afterwards, indicate a lack of Yin. Purging methods should be used, primarily with Li Jing Wan (Benefit Fright Pill). (Formula see this section.) Infantile acute convulsive wind fundamentally arises from heat generating in the Heart, presenting with body heat, red face, thirst, hot breath, yellow-red urine and stool, and severe convulsions. Heat extreme generates wind; wind corresponds to the Liver, indicating excess Yang and deficient Yin. Thus, Li Jing Wan is used to clear phlegm-heat. Do not use Radix Euphorbiae Pekingensis (Ba Dou) or warm purgatives, as this may exacerbate convulsions and fail to resolve deficient heat. Infantile Ke Wu involves phlegm-heat in the Heart and Stomach; hearing unusual sounds triggers fright and convulsions. If heat is extreme, spontaneous convulsions may occur even without auditory triggers.
Zhang Huan discusses: Infants often have unstable Shen and accumulated phlegm-saliva in the Pericardium, generating evil heat. Excessive heat interferes with the Shen, combined with external wind pathogen invasion, causing high fever, phlegm stagnation, limb spasms, and lockjaw, termed acute convulsive wind disease.
*Tong Ying Bao Jian* (Precious Mirror for Infants and Children) discusses: Infantile acute convulsive wind occurs when fright-phlegm floods the Heart, causing upward deviation of the eyes, convulsions of hands and feet, body heat, rigid jaw, and inability to open the mouth.
*Miyao Zhimi* (Secret Essentials Pointing to Enlightenment) discusses: After recovery from infantile acute convulsive wind, recurrence after several days followed by recovery is common. If this happens three or four times, subsequent severe episodes indicate a "Xing Xing" (lucid but weak) state, which is unreliable for prognosis.
*Yu Jue* (Jade Decree) discusses: Infantile acute convulsive wind is caused by wind-heat interfering with the Heart, preceded by fright. Previous fright-phlegm enters the meridians, presenting with convulsions, upward-deviated eyes, black lips, lockjaw, and hand-foot spasms. Treatment relies on emesis and purgation to calm the Heart. Using conflicting cold and hot medicines may endanger life.
*Shi Bi Jing* (Stone Wall Classic) Song on Initial Acute Convulsive Wind Signs:
Observe clenched fists upon onset, carefully noting finger positions. (*Feng Sui Jing* notes: refers to the thumb.) Palm interior is Yin, exterior is Yang; this is a favorable sign. (At onset of spasms, if palm is red and fingers curled, boy's thumb out/girl's thumb in is favorable.) Boys left, girls right spasm should be observed first. (Alternatively: induce cessation of spasms.) Apply medicine below eyes to open them. (*Xian Sui Jing* says: insufflate medicine into nose.) Re-examine symptoms. (*Feng Sui Jing* says: sneezing is acceptable.) Strictly avoid phlegm flooding lungs and lodging in Heart. (If boy spasms right/girl spasms left, it is unfavorable/incurable. Continuous sticky phlegm requires clearing diaphragm/phlegm. If eyes open/phlegm disperses, administer anti-fright/Qi-regulating herbs; stop if eyes closed/phlegm continuous implies death.) Avoid cooling Heart treatments; resolve fright and purge to seek peace. (*Feng Sui Jing* variant: Resolve meridians/regulate Qi with decoctions/pills.) Note pulse inversion of Yin/Yang. (*Feng Sui Jing* variant: Focus intent during spasm control.) Use wisely, knowing life may be lost. (Left/Right spasm gender rule explained. *Feng Sui Jing* note: First insufflate Du Yue San, then Zhen Xin Wan, then Sheng Yin Wan.)
*Shi Bi Jing* Song on Acute Convulsive Wind Signs:
Startled by objects within seven days. (Within seven days, fright generates heat/convulsions. If infant bian zheng, also causes fright; avoid excessive cold herbs.) Hair stands dry, throat parched, diarrhea green. (Hair straight/dry like hemp; frequent nursing/water drinking causes "dry throat"; green diarrhea indicates spleen/stomach involvement.) Check upper lip for slight sweat, observe bluish veins under eyes (or abdomen), tender peach-blossom palms, fearfulness with noisy phlegm. Experts calm fright effectively; do not confuse with general wind-heat.
These are external signs. Treatment: first calm fright, then resolve thirst/phlegm for cure. Even if Qi is excess, regulate Stomach Qi before using fright-resolving herbs; avoid excessive cold. (*Feng Sui Jing* weak wind song: recommend Zhen Xin Wan, Sheng Yin Wan.)
*Hui Yan Guan Zheng* (Compassionate Eye Observing Signs) on Acute Wind: Internal wind-stagnant heat-phlegm surges to mouth, back rigidity, eyes closed, hand-foot spasms, or staring with noisy phlegm, unconsciousness. Urgently use Shui Jing Gao (Sleep Fright Paste - see section), ground with honey, sugar, mint decoction. Vomiting two mouthfuls of phlegm lowers eyes, induces sleep. Later, pass 3-4 stools of green-white sticky phlegm, follow with Qi-regulating herbs, next day sleep more, use Xing Pi San (Awaken Spleen Powder - see vomiting/diarrhea section). If no appetite, use An Wei Wan (Peace Stomach Pill). For residual phlegm, use Hua Xian Tang (Resolve Phlegm Decoction). Intermittent treatment brings peace in three days. Fever on day 4-5 indicates wind-stroke or cold damage; use Mai Tang San (Wheat Decoction Powder - see end) and Ping Wei Wan (Level Stomach Pill - see hiccups section) for recovery in two days.
*Xiao Fang Mai Lun* (Small Formula Pulse Discussion) states: Acute wind originates in the Heart. All fright diseases accumulate in the Heart. Onset features high fever, then spasms, extreme body heat, limb restlessness, full-body heat, red cheeks, dry mouth/tongue. Caused by fright/shock; treatment focuses on the Heart.
Li Gangzhong, physician from Changsha, states: Ancient texts mention only Yin/Yang epilepsy, not fright. Yang type is Ji Jing (Acute Fright), Yin type is Man Jing (Slow Fright). Yang moves/restless/fast; Yin still/slow/delayed. Infantile acute spasms result from excessive heat affecting both interior/exterior. Long-standing unremoved heat combines Liver wind and Heart fire; these two organs contend, Qi burns fiercely, and Kidney Water cannot control them. Liver governs tendons/eyes; heat contracts tendons, wind triggers spasms, hands/feet uncontrollable, wind pulls eyes upward. Left/right spasms depend on organ dominance. Treating with Black Snake, Centipede etc. treats branch not root. Qian Yi uses Xie Qing Wan (Drain Green Pill) for Liver wind, Dao Chi San (Direct Red Powder) for Heart fire. These are superior herbs.
