齐氏云∶肺痈肺痿,因脾肺气虚,腠理不密,外邪所乘。或母食辛辣浓味,遗
热于儿。或儿有病,过于汗下,内亡津液,虚火烁肺。或服克伐之药,亏损脾胃,
不能生肺金。其证恶风咳嗽,鼻塞项强,呼吸不利,甚则四肢微肿,咳唾脓血,若
吐臭秽,胸中隐痛,脉数而实者为肺痈,咳唾涎沫,脉数而虚者为肺痿。恶寒喘嗽
者,寒邪内蕴也,小青龙汤。咳唾脓秽者,肺痈内溃也,桔梗汤。窃谓前证若喘咳
短气者,脾肺气虚也,五味异功散。咳唾脓痰左尺脉数而无力者,肾气虚也,六味
地黄丸。咳唾脓痰右关脉数而无力者,脾气虚也,七味白术散。若发热喘嗽唾脓不

Qi stated: Lung abscess (Fei Yong) and lung atrophy (Fei Wei) arise from deficiency of Qi in the Spleen and Lung, with loose interstices (Cou Li), allowing external pathogens to invade. Alternatively, if the mother consumes spicy and rich foods, heat may be transmitted to the infant. Or, if the infant is ill and subjected to excessive sweating or purging methods, internal fluids are depleted, and deficient fire scorches the Lung. Or, if astringent or damaging medicines are taken, the Spleen and Stomach are impaired, failing to generate Metal (Lung). The manifestations include aversion to wind, coughing, nasal congestion, stiffness of the neck, and difficult breathing; in severe cases, slight swelling of the four limbs occurs, along with coughing up pus and blood. If foul-smelling material is expectorated accompanied by dull chest pain, and the pulse is rapid and excess (Shi), it is Lung abscess. If saliva and foam are expectorated with a rapid but deficient (Xu) pulse, it is lung atrophy. Aversion to cold with wheezing and coughing indicates internal accumulation of cold pathogen, treated with Xiao Qing Long Tang. Expectoration of purulent and foul matter indicates internal ulceration of lung abscess, treated with Jie Geng Tang. I believe that for the aforementioned conditions, if there is wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath, it indicates deficiency of Spleen and Lung Qi, treated with Wu Wei Yi Gong San. If pus and phlegm are expectorated with a rapid but forceless left Chi pulse, it indicates deficiency of Kidney Qi, treated with Liu Wei Di Huang Wan. If pus and phlegm are expectorated with a rapid but forceless right Guan pulse, it indicates deficiency of Spleen Qi, treated with Qi Wei Bai Zhu San. If fever, wheezing, coughing, expectoration of pus and blood, and anorexia occur, it indicates extreme deficiency of Spleen and Lung, which is difficult to treat. Generally, tonifying the Spleen and Lung, and nourishing Kidney Water, is the proper approach. (One must still examine the mutual overcoming relationships among the Five Zang organs and the emotional states of the nursing mother; subsequent conditions should follow this pattern.)
