After the recovery from epidemic febrile disease, many cases develop skin sores; this is due to residual heat invading the muscles. It usually heals spontaneously with frequent administration of cooling herbs that nourish Qi and Blood.
After recovery from epidemic febrile disease, if the limbs cannot move, it is because heat has damaged the sinews and vessels. Wu’s various Yangrong Decoctions (Nourishing Nutrient Decoctions) should be used as appropriate. In mild cases, healing occurs spontaneously through dietary regulation with porridge.
After recovery from epidemic febrile disease, if the body becomes emaciated and the skin is rough like fish scales (jiacuo), it is because heat has injured Yin. The treatment focuses on nourishing Yin, using Wu’s various Yangrong Decoctions as appropriate. Some cases also recover through dietary regulation with porridge.
After recovery from epidemic febrile disease, some patients present with bone-steaming fever resembling consumptive disease (laozai); this is due to residual heat lingering in the Yin aspect. One must not immediately apply the treatment methods for deficiency diseases simply because the patient is emaciated. First, examine the Six Fu Organs (Gallbladder, Stomach, Large Intestine, Small Intestine, Bladder, Sanjiao); if there are bound pathogens, the primary treatment is to attack the pathogens. Second, examine the meridians; if there is stagnation and blood stasis, the primary treatment is to unblock the stagnation and stasis. Third, examine the Qi pathways; if there is phlegm-fluid retention, the primary treatment is to promote the discharge of phlegm-fluid. If none of these exist, then focus on clearing heat. Only if there are no pathogens but only Yin injury can pure Yin-nourishing herbs be used. Alternatively, depending on the severity of residual pathogens and the degree of deficiency, combine Yin-nourishing and heat-clearing herbs, adjusting the dosage flexibly to harmonize the condition, which is more effective.
The treatment of epidemic febrile disease in women is generally the same as in men, except during menstruation when the approach differs slightly because it involves the Blood Chamber (Xueshi). Whenever a woman contracts an epidemic during her menstrual period, the treatment must involve the Shaoyang Meridian (Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian), as Shaoyang and Jueyin (Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian) are exterior-interior pairs, and Jueyin governs the Blood Chamber. Once the Blood Chamber is disturbed, pathogens will inevitably take advantage of the deficiency to invade. One must distinguish between three scenarios: menstruation just started and stopped due to illness, menstruation just started and illness contracted but menstruation continues normally, and menstruation just ended and illness contracted. In doing so, the excess or deficiency nature will become clear.
If menstruation just started and was abruptly stopped upon contracting epidemic qi, blood stasis must be present. Further examination of the hypochondrium, lower back, and lower abdomen is required; if there is pulling pain that refuses pressure, the treatment must focus on clearing heat and resolving stasis, using Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) plus Chishao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra), Yanhusuo (Rhizoma Corydalis), Taoren (Semen Persicae), Guiwei (Radix Angelicae Sinensis Caulis), and Danpi (Cortex Moutan).
If menstruation just started and was accompanied by epidemic contraction, but the menstrual flow continues normally despite the onset of epidemic symptoms, there is no need to treat the menstrual blood; one only needs to treat the epidemic pathogens, and the disease will heal spontaneously. This is because the pathology has not yet invaded the Blood Chamber, so the menstrual flow proceeds as usual. This refers precisely to Zhang Zhongjing’s statement: "Do not injure the Stomach Qi and the Upper and Middle Jiaos, and the disease will surely heal." This does not mean that no medicine should be used at all.
If illness is contracted just after menstruation has ceased, the Sea of Blood is empty after the period ends, and pathogens will inevitably sink into the Sea of Blood taking advantage of the deficiency. If fullness and pain in the lower back, hypochondrium, and lower abdomen are observed, use Dachaihu Tang (Major Bupleurum Decoction) plus Taoren (Semen Persicae) and Chishao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra) to expel the pathogens from the Blood Chamber before recovery can occur.
Whenever a woman contracts an epidemic, if she presents with clarity during the day but delirious speech (shanyu) at night, one must inquire about her menstrual status to prevent the gradual invasion of heat into the Blood Chamber.
