He Xian said: The conditions of pediatric convulsions, malnutrition (gan syndrome), vomiting, and diarrhea have been exhausted. One must speak additionally.
People often refer to "convulsive wind." Children indeed experience convulsions, but they do not have wind pathogens, because children are pure yang bodies and should not be invaded by wind. Symptoms that appear as if caused by wind are actually due to excessive yang energy in children.
Malnutrition (Gan syndrome) is spleen heat. Due to heart fire causing spleen fire, when the fire becomes extremely intense, saliva flows from the mouth. If the heart fire is not pacified, the spleen fire remains strong, and damp-heat steams upward... (Original text seems incomplete here).
Vomiting is due to weak stomach qi, caused by deficiency of spleen qi. Indulging in overeating leads to undigested food stagnating in the spleen for a long time, rushing up against the stomach opening, eventually leading to severe vomiting... (Original text seems incomplete here).
