Symptoms and treatment are described in the preceding "Lei Chu" (Similar to Convulsions) section. If there is fever, thirst, a rapid and forceful pulse, and the ability to eat, it is classified as a Heat syndrome; if there is coolness of the body, no thirst, a deep and weak pulse, and inability to eat, it is classified as a Cold syndrome. In the early stage of dysentery, astringent drugs should generally not be used.
Simple prescription for dysentery: Boil dried Portulaca oleracea (Machi Xian) until soft. For red dysentery, mix with honey; for white dysentery, mix with sugar; for mixed red and white dysentery, mix with half honey and half sugar. Take twice a day, preferably swallowing the decoction along with the medicine.

Another method: Take one chicken egg, boil it, remove the white, use only the yolk, grind it finely, mix with a small half cup of ginger juice, and administer to the child. Tea should be avoided during this time; the effect is miraculous.
For chronic dysentery that does not stop: Take 3 qian each of brown sugar, white sugar, and maltose (Yitang, 饴糖); 1 qian of Licorice Root (Gancao, 甘草); 2 qian of aged tea leaves; and one slice of fresh ginger.

Another method: Take one live toad, pound it, mix well with 6 fen of Musk (Shexiang, 麝香), grind together, and apply to the umbilicus. Wrap tightly with cloth. Eating can resume after half a day, and recovery occurs within one to two days. Another method: Cook crucian carp in front of the patient's bed with seasonings. Let the patient smell the aroma to stimulate appetite, then give a small amount of food.

Children: 3 kernels per packet; Adults: 7 kernels per packet. Wrap tightly, swallow with warm water on an empty stomach, and press down with a meal. When stool passes with white jelly-like substance resembling fish brain, this indicates cold accumulation. If white jelly is not seen, take another dose after one or two days; it will never recur. Avoid meat and alcohol for three days during medication, and duck meat for one month, to eradicate the root. If abdominal pain occurs the day after taking the medicine, take one root of White Peony Root (Baishao, 白芍) and one root of Licorice Root (Gancao, 甘草), each weighing 3 qian. Wrap in wet paper and roast in fire until cooked. Take out, pound, decoct, and drink; pain stops immediately.

Another method: Take 2 liang of lard, refine to remove dregs, mix with 1 liang of Polygonum Multiflorum Spore (Puhuang, 蒲黄) powder. Apply to the anus to retract it.
