After the acute convulsion (Ji Jing) has subsided but pathogenic factors are not yet cleared, if phlegm-heat is present, Hu Po Bao Long Wan (Amber Embracing Dragon Pill) is effective. If the child exhibits spirit deficiency and weak qi accompanied by phlegm-heat, Qing Xin Di Tan Tang (Clear Heart and Eliminate Phlegm Decoction) yields great results.
[Note] The treatment of acute convulsion often employs cold-natured herbs, which is a method of "treating the branch in emergencies." However, once the phlegm-fire symptoms subside slightly, one should proceed to regulate and tonify qi and blood. Overuse of cold herbs will inevitably lead to a transformation into slow convulsion (Man Jing) or other syndromes. Therefore, when the wind-pathogen causing the convulsion has retreated but residual heat remains, Hu Po Bao Long Wan (Amber Embracing Dragon Pill) should be used as the primary formula; for cases with spleen deficiency and excessive phlegm, Qing Xin Di Tan Tang (Clear Heart and Eliminate Phlegm Decoction) is appropriate.
Hu Po Bao Long Wan (Amber Embracing Dragon Pill)
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Hu Po (Fossilized Resin), Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood), Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, stir-fried), Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried), Tan Xiang (Santalum Album Lignum), Tian Zhu Huang (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia), Zhi Qiao (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, bran-stir-fried), Zhi Shi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, bran-stir-fried), Chen Sha (Cinnabar), Dan Xing (Arisaematis Cum Bile), Chi Jin Bo (Gold Leaf).
Grind the above ingredients into fine powder, form pills with refined honey. Each pill weighs 3g (one qian). Older children take one pill; younger children take half a pill. Take with light ginger decoction.
Qing Xin Di Tan Tang (Clear Heart and Eliminate Phlegm Decoction)
Zhu Ru (Bambusae Folium), Ju Hong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, processed with ginger), Fu Ling (Poria), Zhi Shi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, bran-stir-fried), Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma, raw), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix, heart removed), Zao Ren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, stir-fried), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Chang Pu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), Nan Xing (Arisaematis Rhizoma), Chuan Lian Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma).

Slow convulsion (Man Jing) often arises from weak congenital endowment or damage caused by overly harsh medications. During attacks, spasms occur slowly, intermittently starting and stopping. The complexion is pale or yellowish-green, the body temperature is normal, the child sleeps deeply with eyes closed or exposed during sleep. The pulse is slow, the spirit appears despondent, and the stool is green. For qi deficiency with phlegm accumulation, Xing Pi Tang (Awaken the Spleen Decoction) is effective; for spleen deficiency with liver hyperactivity, Huan Gan Li Pi Tang (Soothe Liver and Regulate Spleen Decoction) is effective.
[Note] Slow convulsion may stem from congenital weakness, where earth deficiency leads to wood excess (spleen deficiency with liver hyperactivity); or it may result from the overuse of harsh purgatives during acute convulsion. At onset, spasms are slow, intermittent, with a pale yellow or greenish-white complexion, warm body, deep sleep with eyes closed or exposed, slow pulse, despondent spirit, and green stool. This syndrome is due to spleen and stomach deficiency; treatment should primarily focus on cultivating and supplementing primordial qi. For deficiency complicated by phlegm, Xing Pi Tang (Awaken the Spleen Decoction) is indicated; for spleen deficiency with liver hyperactivity, Huan Gan Li Pi Tang (Soothe Liver and Regulate Spleen Decoction) is indicated.
