痧疹一证,出时能透尽毒净,病期能确守禁忌,本无所谓余恙也。然人事疏忽,十常七八,禀赋虚弱,不
任疾病,又比比然也。故痧后余恙基于前因而起者,不在少数,内有四大证,为害甚烈∶一曰痧后劳,痧既
收没,邪毒犹郁于肌肉间,昼夜发热,渐至发焦肤槁,羸瘦如柴,此因痧期误服辛温,毒未清解,或由
本元虚弱,余毒留心,或由过用寒凉,毒未透净,均宜清火解毒之法,及扶胃健脾之剂以治之。迟则口鼻
气冷,睡卧露睛,手足厥冷搐掣,必至不救。即本羸瘦而遍身壮热,螈 烦躁,实由阴亏血耗,余毒入肝而
传心故如此,治宜养血清血之剂。一曰痧后疳,病由余毒未尽,陷入胃家,或过啖炙 ,毒乘火势,忽发走
马疳,牙根臭烂,血出颊肿,环口青黑,久则腮穿齿落,唇缺鼻坏,宜急救勿缓,内治以速清胃火为主,外
治以散毒去腐为主。如疮色白者,或疮色黑者,皆属不治。一曰痧后痢,病由痧前曾作泻痢,调解未清,至
是变成休息痢,日夜无度,里急后重,此余毒流入大肠也。不论赤白,总应养血行气,盖血和而痢自止,
气行而后重自除也。然须分虚实,实者不妨微利,虚者只可调和。一曰痧后咳,痧后气喘息高,连声不止,
甚至咳血或呛饮食,此毒归于肺也,名曰顿咳,宜清肺除热为主。如胸高肩耸,
手摆头摇,口鼻出血,面色青赤,或枯白,或晦暗,皆不可治。至于有肺气极虚,毒遏发喘,不至呛食咳血
者,不得纯乎责之肺热,宜解毒之外,兼补肺气,此四者皆为痧后重证,病关生死,切忌妄治。而此四证之
外,有烧热不退者,血虚血热也,只须滋阴补血,其热自除。有身热不退,呕吐而烦者,毒犹未尽,留恋
于肺胃间也;有大便秘者,余火内结也;有泄泻者,积热移于大肠也,久则必伤脾;有痧退热除不能食者,
胃气弱也;有耳内肿痛,溃流脓水者,余毒入耳也;有痧透不彻,痧后余毒阻塞灵窍,或舌本謇涩,不能
言者,或耳中轰不能听者,皆当按症施治,以本症治法为君,以解痧后余毒为佐。又有痧疹没后三四日
又出,至五六次八九次不止者,由发热时风寒侵袭,邪郁肌肉,前虽藉药发出,终属勉强,故留流不散而屡
发也,宜照前痧疹治法治之。最后总以清理肺胃为主,此痧后证治之一斑也。

痧疹这一病证,如果在出疹时能够透发彻底、毒邪排净,并且在病程中严格遵守禁忌,本来就没有什么遗留的病症。然而人们往往疏忽大意,十次中有七八次如此;加上体质虚弱,无法承受疾病折磨的情况也屡见不鲜。因此,基于先前原因而产生的痧后余留病症,不在少数。其中主要有四种重症,危害极为严重:
第一种称为“痧后劳”。痧疹消退后,邪毒仍然郁结在肌肉之间,导致昼夜发热,逐渐发展到头发焦枯、皮肤干瘪、身体消瘦如柴。这是因为在痧疹期间误服了辛温药物,导致毒邪未能清解;或者因为本身体质虚弱,余毒留存体内;又或者过度使用寒凉药物,导致毒邪未能透发干净。这些情况都适宜采用清火解毒的方法,以及扶助胃气、健脾的方剂来治疗。如果拖延不治,会出现口鼻气息冰冷、睡眠时眼睛半睁(露睛)、手足厥冷并伴有抽搐的症状,最终必然导致死亡。即使是原本就身体瘦弱而全身高热、出现抽搐烦躁的情况,实际上也是由于阴液亏损、血液耗损,余毒侵入肝脏进而传变至心脏所致,治疗应当使用养血、活血的方剂。
第二种称为“痧后疳”。这种病是由于余毒未尽,陷入胃部,或者过量食用烤炙食物,毒邪乘着火势发作,突然引发走马疳(一种迅速蔓延的口腔坏死性疾病),牙根腐烂发臭,出血且面颊肿胀,口周呈现青黑色。时间久了会导致腮部穿孔、牙齿脱落、嘴唇缺损、鼻子毁坏。这种情况需要紧急救治,不可迟缓。内治以迅速清除胃火为主,外治以消散毒邪、去除腐肉为主。如果疮面色白或色黑,都属于难以治愈的情况。
第三种称为“痧后痢”。这种病是因为在出痧之前曾经发生过腹泻痢疾,调理未清,到了此时变成了休息痢(慢性痢疾),日夜无度,有里急后重感,这是余毒流入大肠所致。不论是大便带血还是带脓,总应当养血行气,因为血液调和则痢疾自止,气机通畅则里急后重自然消除。但是必须区分虚实,实证不妨稍用通利之法,虚证只可调和。
第四种称为“痧后咳”。痧疹之后气喘急促,连续咳嗽不止,甚至咳血或呛咳饮食,这是毒邪归于肺脏的表现,名叫顿咳(百日咳),治疗应以清肺除热为主。如果出现胸部高耸、肩膀耸动、手部摆动、头部摇晃、口鼻出血、面色青赤,或者枯白、晦暗等症状,都是不可治愈的征象。至于那些肺气极度虚弱,毒邪遏制导致喘息,但不至于呛食咳血的患者,不能单纯归咎于肺热,应当在解毒的同时,兼补肺气。这四种情况都是痧后的重症,关系到生死,切忌胡乱治疗。
在这四种证候之外,还有发热不退的,属于血虚血热,只需滋阴补血,热势自然消除。有身热不退、呕吐且心烦的,是毒邪尚未清除,留恋在肺胃之间;有大便秘结的,是余火在内结聚;有泄泻的,是积热转移到大肠,时间久了必然损伤脾脏;有痧疹退去、热势消除但不能进食的,是胃气虚弱;有耳内肿痛、溃破流脓水的,是余毒进入耳朵;有痧疹透发不彻底,痧后余毒阻塞灵窍(指耳目等感官孔窍),导致舌根僵硬、不能说话,或者耳中轰鸣、不能听见的,都应当根据症状施治,以治疗本症的方法为主,以解除痧后余毒为辅。
又有痧疹消退后三四天又再次发出,甚至到五六次、八九次不止的,这是由于发热时风寒侵袭,邪气郁结在肌肉间,之前虽然借助药物发出,终究属于勉强透发,所以余毒滞留不散而屡次发作,应当照前法治疗痧疹。最后总的原则是以清理肺胃为主,这就是痧后证治的一个概貌。

Shazhen (Scarlet-like rash) is a condition where, if the eruption can be thoroughly resolved and toxins completely expelled, and if dietary and lifestyle taboos are strictly observed during the course of the disease, there would essentially be no residual ailments. However, human negligence occurs in seven or eight out of ten cases; furthermore, individuals with weak constitutions who cannot withstand the disease are also common. Therefore, residual conditions following Shazhen arising from prior causes are not few in number. Among them, four major syndromes cause severe harm:
The first is called "Shazhen La" (Post-rash consumption). After the rash subsides, pathogenic toxins remain stagnant between the muscles, causing fever day and night. This gradually progresses to scorched hair, shriveled skin, and emaciation resembling firewood. This occurs because acrid-warm herbs were mistakenly taken during the rash period, preventing toxin clearance; or due to original constitutional weakness leaving residual toxins; or from excessive use of cold-cooling herbs, preventing complete toxin expulsion. All these situations are suitable for treatment using methods that clear fire and detoxify, along with formulas that support stomach qi and strengthen the spleen. If treatment is delayed, symptoms such as cold breath from mouth and nose, eyes half-open during sleep (loujing), cold extremities, and convulsions will appear, inevitably leading to death. Even in cases where the patient was originally emaciated but presents with high fever all over the body, convulsions, and irritability, this is actually due to yin deficiency and blood depletion, with residual toxins entering the Liver and transmitting to the Heart. Treatment should employ formulas that nourish and invigorate blood.
The second is called "Shazhen Gan" (Post-rash malnutrition/gan syndrome). This disease arises from unresolved residual toxins sinking into the Stomach, or from overconsumption of roasted foods, where toxins capitalize on internal heat to suddenly trigger Zouma Gan (a rapidly spreading necrotic oral disease). Symptoms include foul-smelling rotting gums, bleeding, swollen cheeks, and cyanotic-black discoloration around the mouth. In time, this leads to perforated cheeks, lost teeth, missing lips, and destroyed noses. Urgent treatment is required without delay. Internal treatment focuses on rapidly clearing Stomach fire, while external treatment focuses on dissipating toxins and removing necrotic tissue. If the sores are white or black, they are considered incurable.
The third is called "Shazhen Li" (Post-rash dysentery). This disease occurs because diarrhea or dysentery existed before the rash, and regulation was incomplete. By this stage, it transforms into Xiuxi Li (chronic/recurrent dysentery), occurring day and night without limit, with tenesmus. This is caused by residual toxins flowing into the Large Intestine. Regardless of whether stools contain blood or pus, the general principle is to nourish blood and move qi. When blood harmonizes, dysentery stops naturally; when qi moves, tenesmus is eliminated. However, one must distinguish between excess and deficiency patterns. Excess patterns may tolerate mild purgation, while deficiency patterns require only harmonization.
The fourth is called "Shazhen Ke" (Post-rash cough). After the rash, breathing becomes rapid and shallow, with continuous coughing, even to the point of hemoptysis or choking on food and drink. This indicates toxins have returned to the Lungs, named Dunke (Pertussis/Whooping cough). Treatment should primarily focus on clearing Lung heat. If symptoms include a protruding chest, shrugging shoulders, swinging hands, shaking head, bleeding from mouth/nose, and complexions that are cyanotic-red, withered-white, or dull-dark, these are signs of incurability. For those with extreme Lung qi deficiency where toxins obstruct leading to wheezing, but without choking or hemoptysis, one must not solely blame Lung heat. Besides detoxification, Lung qi must be supplemented. These four conditions are all severe post-rash syndromes involving life and death; reckless treatment must be avoided.
Beyond these four syndromes, there are other presentations: Fever persisting without abatement indicates Blood deficiency and Blood heat; simply nourishing yin and tonifying blood will resolve the heat. Persistent fever with vomiting and irritability indicates toxins are not yet cleared and lingering between the Lungs and Stomach. Constipation indicates residual fire knotting internally. Diarrhea indicates accumulated heat shifting to the Large Intestine, which will eventually injure the Spleen if prolonged. Inability to eat after rash resolution and heat clearance indicates weak Stomach qi. Swelling, pain, and suppurative discharge in the ears indicate residual toxins entering the ears. Incomplete rash eruption with residual toxins blocking the "Ling Qiao" (spiritual orifices/senses), resulting in stiff tongue and inability to speak, or ear roaring and deafness, all require symptom-based treatment. The primary method should treat the specific syndrome, assisted by methods to resolve post-rash residual toxins.
Furthermore, if the rash reappears three or four days after subsiding, recurring five, six, or even nine times, it is due to wind-cold invasion during the febrile stage, with pathogens stagnating in the muscles. Although previous medication forced an eruption, it was forced rather than natural, causing residual toxins to linger and recur repeatedly. Treat according to the standard methods for Shazhen. Ultimately, the general principle is to clear and regulate the Lungs and Stomach. This is a brief overview of post-rash syndrome differentiation and treatment.
