[Wan Quan's Discussion] Vomiting and diarrhea appearing during smallpox or chickenpox are common symptoms. The medical classics state: "Various sudden vomiting and acute watery diarrhea all belong to heat syndromes." This is because the Sanjiao (Triple Burner) is the pathway for the transmission and transformation of food and fluids; when pathogenic fire forces inward, it disrupts this transformation, causing simultaneous vomiting and diarrhea. This occurs due to the dry, agitated, and rapid nature of fire. If the pathogen is in the Upper Jiao, there is only vomiting without diarrhea; if in the Lower Jiao, only diarrhea without vomiting; if in the Middle Jiao, both upper vomiting and lower diarrhea occur. Furthermore, if internal Qi rebels upward and fails to descend, vomiting results; if Qi moves downward and fails to ascend, diarrhea results. When vomiting and diarrhea appear during the initial fever stage of rash diseases, they should not be abruptly stopped, so that pathogens may exit through the upper and lower pathways. Treatment should only commence if vomiting and diarrhea persist for a long time, requiring careful assessment of the condition.
[Xue Ji's Discussion] The *Douzhen Fang* (Smallpox and Chickenpox Formulas) states: Vomiting and diarrhea in rash diseases are generally caused by disharmony of the Spleen and Stomach and irregular diet, leading to irritability, thirst, vomiting, and diarrhea. Bai Zhu San (Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) should be used for these symptoms (add for thirst). However, the growth of rashes relies on the Earth element of the Spleen; when Spleen Earth is solid, rashes emerge and crust over easily, just as all things grow relying on the warmth of the soil. Vomiting and diarrhea damage Spleen Earth, leading to complicated changes. For summerheat stroke causing irritability and thirst, or diarrhea with abdominal pain or tendon twitching, use Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) (add for convulsions) combined with Huo Xiang (Patchouli). For vomiting and diarrhea due to food stagnation, use Xiao Yi Gong San (Minor Yi Gong Decoction) (for vomiting/diarrhea). For cold hands and feet, use Yi Huang San (Yellow Protecting Powder) (tonify Spleen) and Dou Kou Wan (Cardamom Pill) (for diarrhea). For depressed rash tops with grayish-white color, use Mu Xiang San (Costus Root Powder) (for thirst). If vomiting and diarrhea occur while the rash is erupting, or if bleeding is seen, these are adverse signs and are difficult to treat. I believe that although these conditions arise from Spleen-Stomach disharmony, if excess pathogen is in the Upper Jiao, emesis is indicated; if in the Lower Jiao, purgation is indicated. For symptoms like vomiting foul-smelling matter or acid regurgitation, dispersing and venting methods are appropriate, differing only in degree. Zhang Yizhi stated: If smallpox vomiting/diarrhea with reduced appetite indicates Interior Deficiency, and depressed/inverted crusts with grayish-white color indicate Exterior Deficiency, their simultaneous occurrence signifies both Exterior and Interior Deficiency, requiring Shier Wei Yi Gong San (Twelve-Ingredient Yi Gong Decoction) for rescue (seen in the eruption phase); in severe cases, Ginger, Aconite, and Lingsha may even be used. If only Interior Deficiency exists, remove Gu Gui (Cassia Bark); if only Exterior Deficiency exists, reduce the dosage of Rou Dou Kou (Nutmeg). If the patient can eat but has constipation and inverted crusts, this is Interior Excess; do not tonify, but instead use the purgative methods of Qian Yi and Zhu Danxi. This is because the ability to eat indicates Interior Excess; tonifying an Excess condition leads to carbuncles and toxins. Red, vibrant, and protruding rashes indicate Exterior Excess; tonifying an Excess condition leads to ulceration without crusting. Whenever rashes first appear, Ge Gen Tang (Kudzu Root Decoction) is contraindicated, fearing it may cause deficiency through excessive releasing; if complications arise, treat according to the syndrome.
[Zhang's Discussion] Vomiting and diarrhea present as Cold or Heat syndromes. Vomiting without thirst, diarrhea with cold hands and feet, and a bluish-white complexion indicate a Cold syndrome, treated primarily with Yi Huang San (tonify Spleen) or Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction), or Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) added with Mu Xiang and Dou Kou. Vomiting accompanied by thirst, diarrhea with hot palms, red face, and preference for cool environments indicate a Heat syndrome, treated primarily with Wu Ling San (add for convulsions) or Zhu Ye Shi Gao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) (for smallpox thirst) added with Ju Pi (Tangerine Peel). Severe vomiting with body heat and irritability/thirst, abdominal fullness with wheezing, obstructed urination and defecation, red face, and mental confusion: Qian Yi stated this requires promoting urination; if ineffective, use Xuan Feng San (Disperse Wind Powder) (for smallpox fever) to purge. The *Baiwen Fang* uses Xiang Su Yin (Costus and Perilla Infusion); add Ban Xia, Fu Ling, and Bai Shao for vomiting; add Bai Zhu and Fu Ling for diarrhea. Irritability, vomiting, thirst, and diarrhea also indicate Heat; Bai Zhu San (for thirst) is most suitable, and Zi Cao Mu Xiang Tang (Arnebia and Costus Decoction) is also acceptable.
Li Zhong Tang
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Bai Fu Ling (Poria), Gan Cao Jie (Licorice Node) (equal parts).
Crush into pieces. Decoct one cup of water until reduced to half, take at any time. If aversion to cold is present, add Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), named Fuzi Lizhong Tang. Each dose is two qian and a half.
Xiang Su Yin Treats pediatric smallpox diarrhea.
Xiang Fu Zi (Cyperi Rhizoma), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Zi Su (Perillae Folium), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) (equal parts).
Grind into powder. Take three qian per dose, decoct with fresh ginger and scallion white, or plain water. Add Bai Zhu and Fu Ling for diarrhea; add Fu Ling and Bai Shao Yao for vomiting.

During initial fever, if spontaneous diarrhea and vomiting occur, Huang Qin Jia Ban Xia Tang (Scutellaria Decoction with Pinellia) is primary. Carefully examine the vomitus and stool: sour vomit, yellow or greenish-blue stool, and foul odor all indicate Heat. If clear phlegm-water is vomited, and stool is clear/white and odorless, do not treat as Heat; this is Internal Deficiency, treat with Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) added with He Zi Rou (Terminalia Chebula Retocarpus) and Yi Huang San (tonify Spleen). Another view: Vomiting and diarrhea before rash eruption indicate Cold retention in the Middle Jiao or retained food, treat with Si Jun Zi Tang added with Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus Rotundus) and Ju Hong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum), or Zhong He San; for retained food, use Zi Shuang Wan (Purple Frost Pill) (for masses). During fever, if vomiting/diarrhea persists with body heat and thirst, use Si Ling San (Four-Poria Powder) added with Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) and Dan Zhu Ye (Lophatheri Herba) (this is Wu Ling San minus Gui Zhi).
Huang Qin Jia Ban Xia Tang
Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix, 1.5 qian), Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, 1 qian), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, wine-mixed and sun-dried nine times, 3 qian), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Tuber, boiled seven times, 2 qian), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 1 qian), Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus, 2 pieces).
Cut finely. Decoct one cup of water until reduced to seventy percent, take warm. For thirst, remove Ban Xia, add Pi Pa Ye (Loquat Leaf, de-haired and fried, 2 qian), Lu Gen (Phragmitis Rhizoma), and Mao Gen (Imperatae Rhizoma, 3 qian each).

Cut finely. One dose, add one slice of fresh ginger, decoct in water, take slightly warm.
When swelling and pus formation occur, if vomiting and diarrhea happen simultaneously, urgent treatment is needed. For Stomach Cold, use Yi Huang San or Li Zhong Tang; for Stomach Heat, use Huang Qin Ban Xia Tang blended with Si Ling San.
After crusting, vomiting and diarrhea are also divided into Cold and Heat. Cold types use Yi Huang San or Li Zhong Tang; Heat types use Si Ling San or Zhu Ye Shi Gao Tang (for smallpox thirst) added with Ju Pi, or Zhu Ru Tang (Bamboo Shavings Decoction) is also acceptable.
Zhu Ru Tang

Decoct with ginger and jujube.
Whenever sores or smallpox have undergone severe vomiting and diarrhea, with depletion of Qi above and below, large tonifying agents must be used immediately. Even if other syndromes exist, they should all be discussed as deficiency. Quack doctors often disregard the patient's Yuan Qi (Original Qi), using harsh draining medicines, leading to premature death, which is abundant and detestable!
