The syndromes at the initial, eruptive, and convalescent stages have been categorized with specific treatment principles and formulas. One must not use overly acrid-hot or overpowering drugs; instead, detoxification should be applied according to the timing, which will cause no harm.
Treatment of Fever during the Initial Stage (Chao Re):
For fever appearing at the onset, use Xuan Du Fa Biao Tang (Dispel Toxins and Release the Exterior Decoction) (see Article 5).

For delirious speech after convalescence, this is a ominous sign. Use Huanglian Jie Du Tang (Coptidis Decoction for Detoxification) (see Article 35) combined with Jiawei Dao Chi San (Modified Guide Out the Emotion Powder) (see Article 49), mixed with Chen Sha (Cinnabaris) and Huashi (Talcum).

Some use Xijiao Jie Du Tang (Rhinoceros Horn Detoxification Decoction) (see Article 58), removing Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), adding Yuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix).
For hematochezia after convalescence, use Xijiao Jie Du Tang (Rhinoceros Horn Detoxification Decoction) (see Article 58), removing Chishao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), adding Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus), and Chao Puhuang (Fried Sporis Lycopodii). Some add Taoren (Persicae Semen). (This is intended to remove accumulated blood. I believe using raw and cooked Puhuang to remove stasis and generate new blood is more appropriate.)
Treatment of Red and Scanty Urination:
For red urine during the initial stage, use Xuan Du Fa Biao Tang (Dispel Toxins and Release the Exterior Decoction) (see Article 5). Remove Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma); add Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma).

For abdominal pain during the eruptive stage, use Qing Re Tou Ji Tang (Clearing Heat and Penetrating the Muscle Decoction) (see Article 16), removing Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and adding Zhike (Aurantii Fructus).
For abdominal pain after convalescence, use Huanglian Jie Du Tang (Coptidis Decoction for Detoxification) (see Article 35), adding Zhike (Aurantii Fructus), Shanrourou (Crataegi Fructus Flesh), and Yuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix).
Treatment of Hoarseness:

Some use Hejian Liang Ge San (He Jian’s Cooling Chest Powder) (see Article 26), removing Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), adding Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) and Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix).
Treatment of Complicated Macules (Jia Ban):
For complicated macules, use Xijiao Honghua Yin (Rhinoceros Horn and Safflower Infusion) (see Article 48), adding Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Zicao (Arnebiae Radix seu Rhizoma), and Daqing (Isatidis Folium).
Treatment of Complicated Dysentery (Jia Li):
For dysentery complicating the initial stage, use Gegen Jie Ji Tang (Pueraria Relieving Muscle Decoction) (see Article 5). Remove Chishaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), and Chantui (Cicadae Periostracum); add Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) and Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus).

During the initial stage, one should not use strongly cold agents. Because during the initial stage, toxins are moving outward; if strongly cold agents are used, they will suppress the toxin’s movement, preventing measles from erupting, leading to death, which happens frequently. This sentence serves as a golden rule for treatment. (Note: The author considers the method of using San Ling San for separation and draining after convalescence as seemingly ineffective, and believes that Baishao should always be used cautiously. Thus, this method is not entirely appropriate.)
Treatment of Gum Rot (Ya Gan):
For gum rot, use Jiawei Qing Wei San (Modified Stomach-Clearing Powder) (see Article 62).
Treatment of Measles Leprosy Sores (Ma Feng Chuang):
Use Jie Du Tang (Detoxification Decoction) (see Article 107). Some use Da Lianqiao Yin (Large Forsythia Infusion) (see Article 18), adding Jinyinhua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos).
