If vomiting and diarrhea persist without early treatment, it may transform into Slow Convulsion Syndrome. Decoct Xiaodingxiang (Caryophylli Flos) and Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) in equal proportions for immediate cure.

Grind all into powder, form pills the size of a longan fruit using paste made from old rice. Take one pill per dose, washed down with old rice soup; if complicated by wind-cold, wash down with Zisu (Perillae Folium) and Gange (Puerariae Radix) soup.
Additionally, for vomiting and diarrhea caused by summerheat: Collect leaves of Ce Bai Ye (Platycladi Cacumen) growing in shade, crush them in well water to extract juice, add three teaspoons of honey, mix well, and administer orally.

First, wash the umbilicus with a decoction of Jingjie (Schizonepetae Herba). Then, take one jin (500g) of Congye (Allii Fistulosi Folium), roast over fire, place on the ground to dissipate fire heat, scrape the flesh thin with fingernails, and apply to the swollen area; swelling should subside the next day.

Boil an ancient bronze mirror in water and drink the solution.
Alternatively, dry Earthworm Excrement (Qiu Yin Sha), grind into powder, mix with saliva, and apply topically.
