If a child suffering from smallpox experiences pain, it is all due to the toxic fire not being thoroughly dispersed and cleared. Dispersing and clearing are the best methods; Gegen Siwu Tang (Kudzu Root and Four Substances Decoction) is highly effective.
[Note] The classics state: "All pains belong to excess syndromes," and also: "When heat is excessive, pain occurs." This is because the fire of the smallpox toxin has not been completely resolved, causing intermittent pain. When smallpox lesions first emerge with pain, it is because the toxin has not fully erupted; Shengma Gegen Tang (Ephedra and Kudzu Root Decoction) is indicated. When smallpox lesions are dense and painful, it indicates abundant toxin and heat in the blood; Jiawei Siwu Tang (Modified Four Substances Decoction) is indicated. If severe pain accompanied by restlessness occurs during the scabbing stage, it is incurable.
Shengma Gegen Tang (See formula for Fever Syndrome Treatment)
Jiawei Siwu Tang (Modified Four Substances Decoction)
Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Jingjie Sui (Schizonepetae Spica), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Honghua (Carthami Flos), Danpi (Moutan Cortex), Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus, stir-fried), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus, heart removed), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix).
Decoct in water and take orally.
[Formula Song] For abundant toxin, Modified Four Substances Decoction applies,
Combining Danggui, Chishao, Jingjie, and Fangfeng together.
Honghua, Danpi, and Niubangzi follow,
With Lianqiao, Chuanxiong, and Shengdihuang completing the list.
Throughout the onset to resolution of smallpox, clear voice is preferred. If toxic heat obstructs the throat, the voice becomes hoarse or silent. If hoarseness is caused by smallpox lesions blocking the airway in the throat, no specific treatment is needed; if it is caused by toxic heat attacking, Ganjie Ning (Gancao and Jiegeng Decoction) should be used.
[Note] Voice is the sound of the Heart. Heart Qi ascends to the Lung to produce voice; when Lung Qi is clear, the voice is clear; when Lung Heat exists, the voice is hoarse. If hoarseness occurs during the pustule-filling stage, it is because lesions in the throat obstruct the airway; wait for external lesions to scab over, and internal lesions will clear naturally without treatment. If hoarseness precedes the pustule-filling stage, it is due to heat-toxin obstructing the Lung orifices; Jiawei Ganjie Tang (Modified Licorice and Platycodon Decoction) is indicated.
Jiawei Ganjie Tang (Modified Licorice and Platycodon Decoction)
Shegan (Belamcandae Rhizoma), Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus, stir-fried), Yuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus, heart removed), Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, heart removed), Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus, stir-fried), Kujiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix, raw).
Decoct in water and take orally.
[Formula Song] Modified Ganjie treats loss of voice,
With Shegan, Niubangzi, and Yuanshen combined.
Lianqiao, Maimendong, and stir-fried Zhizi,
Jiegeng and Gancao harmonize evenly.
Excessive heat causing epistaxis is treated with Xijiao Tang; poor Spleen control over blood is treated effectively with Renshen Baizhu San; heat pouring into the intestines and stomach is treated with Siwu Tang; Spleen deficiency causing hematochezia is treated with Guipi Tang.
[Note] Blood belongs to Yin and nourishes all meridians; smallpox relies on it for successful resolution. One scenario is toxic fire scorching, causing blood to move with the fire and extravasate recklessly; upward this manifests as epistaxis, downward as hematochezia. If the rash is purple and stagnant, accompanied by dryness, heat, and thirst with epistaxis, this is toxic fire punishing Metal (Lung); Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhino Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) is indicated. If residual toxin after scabbing attacks the Spleen causing epistaxis, this is Spleen deficiency failing to control blood returning to the vessels; Renshen Baizhu San (Ginseng and Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) is indicated, with Fagui San (Hair Ash Powder) blown into the nose externally. If toxic fire is extremely intense, flowing into the Large Intestine causing hematochezia, Jiawei Siwu Tang (Modified Four Substances Decoction) is indicated. If the rash is gray-white and sunken with hematochezia, this is Spleen Qi deficiency failing to secure blood; Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) is indicated. As for massive hematemesis, hematuria, and bleeding from the seven orifices, changes occur rapidly ("in the time it takes to flip a hand"), and medication is unnecessary.
Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhino Horn and Rehmannia Decoction)
Xijiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu, sliced), Danpi (Moutan Cortex), Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba).
Decoct in water and take orally.
[Formula Song] Toxic fire rushing up causes frequent epistaxis,
Xijiao Dihuang Tang acts swiftly and effectively.
Sliced Xijiao and Mudanpi,
Shengdi and Baishao decocted together.
Renshen Baizhu San (See formula for Asthma Syndrome)
Fagui San (Hair Ash Powder)
Take loose hair from a young, healthy person without disease. Wash with water boiled with Zaojiao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus) to remove grease, then bake dry. Fill a new earthenware jar completely with the hair. Cover the mouth with a clean tile, seal with salt mud. Surround half the jar with charcoal fire. After burning one incense stick's worth of time, remove and let cool. Grind into fine powder and blow into the nose. Alternatively, mix two parts hair ash, seven parts child's urine, and three parts wine, and take orally to stop bleeding.

With Renshen, Baizhu, Gancao, and Huangqi.
Zaoren, Yuanzhi, and Longyanrou,
