[Qian Yi] Convulsions caused by wind-cold (Shang Feng Fa Chu) occur after contracting a wind-pathogen. The manifestations include hot breath exhaled from the mouth, frequent yawning accompanied by lethargy or stupor, and trembling of the limbs. Treatment should employ methods to disperse the pathogen externally, primarily using Daqing Gao (Cyan Blue Paste). Infants with congenital weakness are prone to this condition.
[Zhang Yuansu] Convulsions due to wind-cold result from contracting a wind-pathogen. The symptoms resemble those in adults suffering from wind-cold-phlegm patterns. One must differentiate between sweating and non-sweating presentations to distinguish between Yin and Yang syndromes. Treatments such as Daqing Gao (Cyan Blue Paste) or Xiao Xuming Tang (Minor Continuation of Life Decoction) may be used to open the pores and expel the pathogen, leading to recovery. (Note: Daqing Gao is indicated for Yin syndromes; Xiao Xuming Tang is indicated for Yang syndromes.)
[Xue Ji] In convulsions caused by wind-cold, if the breath is not hot and the limbs feel fatigued and weak, use Yigong San (Modified Five-Ingredient Powder with Astragalus) to tonify Spleen Earth, and Gouteng Yin (Uncaria Decoction) to clear Liver Wood. If the condition arises from internal stagnation of wind-pathogens causing fever and subsequent varied symptoms, one should regulate Lung Metal and clear wind-pathogens. If external pathogens have been resolved but internal symptoms persist, regulate Lung Qi and tonify Spleen Qi. If Lung Meridian deficiency leads to fright and convulsions, tonify Spleen and Lung to pacify Liver and Heart fire, which will naturally stop the convulsions. A case involved an infant within one month of age presenting with convulsions and nasal congestion due to wind-pathogen invasion. The mother and child both took Liujunzi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction) supplemented with Jiegeng (Platycodon Root) and Xixin (Asarum Root). Additionally, seven scallion bulbs and one slice of ginger were finely ground, spread on paper, warmed between palms, and rapidly applied to the fontanelle. Shortly thereafter, nasal patency was restored and convulsions ceased.
Daqing Gao Prescription:
Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma, powdered, 1 fen) Baifuzi (Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix, raw, powdered, 1.5 qian) Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis, 1 qian, ground) Xiewei (Scorpion tail, venom removed, raw, powdered) Wushe Shaorou (Deinagkistrodon acutus meat, wine-soaked, dried, powdered; each 0.5 qian) Zhusha (Cinnabar, ground) Tianzhuhuang (Calami Tuber, ground)
Grind all ingredients together until extremely fine. Mix with raw honey to form a paste. Dosage: half to one size of a soap pod for older children; for infants under one month, the size of a rice grain. Administer dissolved in warm Bohe Shui (Mentha Water), possibly combined with Niuhuang Gao (Calculus Bovis Paste). For children over five years old, administer with Ganlu San (Sweet Dew Powder).
Xiao Xuming Tang (Prescription see Stroke section)
[Qian Yi] Convulsions caused by food retention (Shang Shi Fa Chu) occur after dietary injury. Manifestations include warm body temperature, excessive salivation, somnolence, vomiting, anorexia, and subsequent convulsions. Treatment should first arrest the convulsions. Once subsided, use Baibing Zi (White Pill; prescription see Mass accumulation section) to purge the retention, followed by Anshen Wan (Calming the Spirit Pill; prescription see Heart section).
[Zhang Yuansu] Convulsions due to food retention refer to sudden convulsions without other preceding symptoms. This results from excessive intake damaging the Spleen and Stomach, leading to somnolence, vomiting, and anorexia. Spleen-Stomach deficiency triggers Liver Wind, causing convulsions. First, arrest the convulsions, for example, by decocting Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) and Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) to administer Xieqing Wan (Draining Green Pill). Subsequently, use Baibing Zi to purge food retention. Gradually switch to Tiaozhong Wan (Regulating the Middle Pill; prescription see Abdominal Pain section) and Yigong San (Modified Five-Ingredient Powder with Astragalus; prescription see Vomiting and Diarrhea section) to nourish healthy Qi.
[Xue Ji] For convulsions due to food stagnation accompanied by vomiting of milk/food, use Xiaoshi Wan (Digestive Pill; prescription see Food Retention section). If symptoms recur or transform into other conditions after digestion, it indicates Spleen Earth injury with Liver Wood encroachment. Use Liujunzi Tang (Six-Gentlemen Decoction) plus Gouteng (Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis) to strengthen the Spleen and pacify the Liver. (Xiaoshi Wan prescription see Food Retention section.)
[Li Dongyuan] For fright caused by external objects, use calming and pacifying methods with Huanglian Anshen Wan (Coptis Calming the Spirit Pill). For fright caused by internal Qi disturbance, use Hanshuishi Anshen Wan (Halloysite Calming the Spirit Pill).
[Lou Quanshan] For fright induced by external objects, the Yuan Qi (Original Qi) is fundamentally intact; thus, treat with the bitter-cold properties of Huanglian Anshen Wan. For fright induced by Qi disturbance, there is no external trigger, but the Yuan Qi itself is diseased; thus, treat with the sweet-cold properties of Hanshuishi Anshen Wan.
Huanglian Anshen Wan Prescription:
Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma, cleaned, wine-fried, 1.5 qian) Zhusha (Cinnabar, finely ground, water-floating method) Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Recens) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (each 1 qian) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, 0.5 fen)
Grind into an extremely fine powder. Form pills using steamed bread dough, sized like yellow millet seeds. Dosage: ten pills per administration, swallowed with saliva.
Hanshuishi Anshen Wan (Same as Qian Yi's Anshen Wan, prescription see Heart section)
