According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Chao Yuanfang), regarding the condition of generalized swelling of the body, head, and face after a child's epilepsy subsides: The manifestations of an epileptic seizure include deviation or traction of the mouth and eyes, upward rolling of the eyeballs, twitching and jerking of the hands and feet, rigidity of the back, retroflexion of the head and neck, and flexion and extension of fingers resembling counting. These conditions are caused by exposing children to wind for cooling and irregular breastfeeding or feeding. When swelling occurs after the subsidence of epilepsy, it is classified as Wind Epilepsy (Feng Xian). This arises because children, sweating in thick clothing, expose themselves to wind for cooling. The initial manifestation involves finger movements resembling counting, followed by twitching and jerking. Although the epilepsy has subsided, Qi and Blood remain deficient, and residual heat persists. Pathogenic factors contend with healthy Qi in the skin, preventing the free dissemination of Qi, leading to stagnation and subsequent swelling.
*Ji Xiao Fang* (Formulas for Effective Collection) treats children whose Qi and Blood are still deficient after epilepsy subsides, with heat contending with Qi in the skin, causing generalized swelling of the entire body, head, and face. It is appropriate to administer Huang Qin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction):
Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Tong Cao (Tetrapanacis Medulla, also known as Tai Tong), Mu Zhu Ling (Polypori Umbellati Sclerotium, peeled and woody parts removed), Xing Ren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, soaked in hot water, peeled and tips removed), each 8 fen; Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), Sang Bai Pi (Mori Cortex), each 7 fen; Ze Qi Ye (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Folium), 4 fen.
Grind these into coarse powder. For each dose, take 3 qian, add 1.5 cups of water, decoct until 0.5 cup remains, and strain. Administer warm after milk or food intake, adjusting the dose according to the child's age.
Another formula from *Ji Xiao*:
Long Dan (Gentianae Radix), Kui Zi (Abutilonis Semen), Wei Rui (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix), each 1 fen.
Grind these five herbs into coarse powder. For each dose, take one fang cun bi (a square-inch measure), add 1 large cup of water, decoct until 0.5 cup remains. Children should take 1 he after milk or food intake.
According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan*, regarding the condition where a child aged six or seven cannot speak after epilepsy subsides: The manifestations of an epileptic seizure include deviation or traction of the mouth and eyes, upward rolling of the eyeballs, twitching and jerking of the hands and feet, rigidity of the back, retroflexion of the neck, and finger movements resembling counting. These are caused by exposing children to wind for cooling and irregular feeding. Inability to speak after the subsidence of epilepsy is classified as Wind Epilepsy. This results from excessive exposure to coolness while sweating in thick clothing, leading to injury by Wind pathogens. The initial manifestation involves finger movements resembling counting, followed by twitching and jerking. The Heart produces speech and opens into the mouth. Although the seizure has ceased, Wind-Cold Qi remains stagnant in the collaterals of the Heart, causing Disharmony of Heart Qi. Consequently, sound cannot be produced, resulting in aphasia.
*Ji Xiao Fang* treats children whose Wind-Cold remains stagnant in the Heart collaterals after epilepsy subsides, causing Disharmony of Heart Qi and inability to produce speech. It is appropriate to use Da Bu Xin Tang (Great Tonifying Heart Decoction) from *Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold):
Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, processed, peeled and navel removed), each 1 liang; Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Yuan Zhi (Polygalae Radix, heart removed), each 4 liang; Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), 6 liang; Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus), 20 pieces; Yi Tang (Maltose), 1 jin; Gan Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), E Jiao (Colla Corii Asini), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix, heart removed), each 3 liang.
Chop these fourteen ingredients. For each dose, take a large handful, add half a spoonful of the prepared Yi Tang, add 1.5 cups of water, and decoct until 0.5 cup remains. Adjust the dose according to the child's age. Administer on an empty stomach before milk or food intake, twice daily.
