治疗产后七天内，因感受风寒引起的咳嗽、鼻塞、声音沉重、怕冷等症状，不要用麻黄来发汗；咳嗽伴有胁肋疼痛的，不要用柴胡汤；咳嗽有声但痰少、面色发红的，不要用寒凉药物。凡是产后有火咳、有痰咳的情况，必须调理半个月后，才可以使用寒凉药物，半个月之前不应当使用。

体质虚弱且多痰的人，加入竹沥一杯，姜汁半匙。
眉批：根据《咳嗽论》中的记载，明确说明即使有火咳，在半个月前，也不得轻易使用寒凉药物，告诫非常严厉。而第一方和第二方中，都含有知母；小注中都提到“外感风寒”。这一定是因为感受风寒之后，病邪将蕴结化为燥热，不得已才使用知母，只是小注没有详细说明。如果不这样理解，假设刚感受风寒就立即使用这种寒凉药物，岂不是与前文论述明显矛盾？读者需要领会前人的深意，这样才能在使用古方时有所权衡。
歌诀：产后十日感受风寒，咳嗽声音沉重也有痰。

To treat cough, nasal congestion, heavy voice, and aversion to cold caused by external contraction of wind-cold within seven days postpartum, do not use Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) to induce sweating; if cough is accompanied by hypochondriac pain, do not use Chaihu Tang (Bupleurum Decoction); if cough produces sound but with scanty sputum and a red face, do not use cooling medicines. In cases of postpartum fire-cough or phlegm-cough, regulation must be maintained for half a month before cooling medicines can be used; they should not be used within the first half month.
Jiawei Shenghua Tang (Modified Birth-Expelling Decoction): Treats postpartum cough and nasal congestion with heavy voice due to external contraction of wind-cold.
Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong, 川芎) (1 qian), Danggui Radix (Danggui, 当归) (2 qian), Prunus Armeniaca Seed (Xingren, 杏仁) (10 grains), Platycodon Root (Jiegeng, 桔梗) (4 fen), Anemarrhena Rhizome (Zhimu, 知母) (8 fen).
If there is phlegm, add Fermented Pinellia Tuber (Banxiaqu, 半夏曲); if weak with sweating and cough, add Ginseng Radix (Renshen, 人参). In general, diaphoresis (inducing sweating) is contraindicated postpartum.
Commentary: Some editions list Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome, 知母) as 4 fen.
Song: Postpartum seven days after contracting wind-cold, cough, nasal congestion, and aversion to cold occur.
Do not use Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba, 麻黄) or Chaihu Tang (Bupleurum Decoction, 柴胡汤); one must distinguish between fire-cough and phlegm-cough.
Wind-cold cough with heavy nasal voice responds best to Jiawei Shenghua Tang (Modified Birth-Expelling Decoction, 加味生化汤).
The formula contains Danggui Radix (Danggui, 当归), Paeonia Lactiflora Root (Baishao, 白芍), Anemarrhena Rhizome (Zhimu, 知母), Platycodon Root (Jiegeng, 桔梗), and Prunus Armeniaca Seed (Xingren, 杏仁); add Banxiaqu (Fermented Pinellia Tuber, 半夏曲) for phlegm, and Renshen (Ginseng Radix, 人参) for deficiency.
Jiaren Shen Anfei Shenghua Tang (Ginseng-Added Lung-Anchoring Birth-Expelling Decoction): Treats postpartum weakness where, within ten days, external contraction of wind-cold leads to cough, heavy voice, phlegm, fever, headache, or excessive sweating.
Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong, 川芎) (1 qian), Ginseng Radix (Renshen, 人参) (1 qian), Anemarrhena Rhizome (Zhimu, 知母) (1 qian), Morus Alba Root Bark (Sangbaipi, 桑白皮) (1 qian), Danggui Radix (Danggui, 当归) (2 qian), Prunus Armeniaca Seed (Xingren, 杏仁) (10 grains, skin and tip removed), Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Root (Gancao, 甘草) (4 fen), Platycodon Root (Jiegeng, 桔梗) (4 fen), Pinellia Ternata Tuber (Banxia, 半夏) (7 fen), Citrus Reticulata Pericarpium (Juhong, 橘红) (3 fen).
For those with deficiency and abundant phlegm, add Bamboo Sap (Zhuli, 竹沥) one cup and Ginger Juice (Jiangzhi, 姜汁) half a spoon.
Commentary: According to "Lun Cough" (Treatise on Cough), it is explicitly stated that even in fire-cough, cooling medicines should not be lightly used within the first half month, with strict warnings. However, both the first and second formulas contain Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome, 知母); the notes mention "external contraction of wind-cold." This implies that after contracting wind-cold, pathogenic factors may transform into dryness-heat, necessitating the use of Zhimu (Anemarrhena Rhizome, 知母), though this was not clarified in the notes. If one assumes that such cooling substances are used immediately upon initial contraction, it would contradict previous discussions. Readers must grasp the subtle intent of predecessors to exercise judgment when applying ancient prescriptions.
Song: Ten days postpartum, contracting wind-cold, cough with heavy voice and phlegm occurs.
Body is weak and unable to resist pathogens, accompanied by fever, headache, and excessive sweating.
