治疗咳嗽咯血，逐渐发展为骨蒸劳热（一种以午后或夜间发热、手足心热、骨节烦热为特征的虚劳病证）的病症。如果患者胃气强盛、正气充足，大便干结，脉象有力，这是阳气亢盛产生内热，治法应当清凉清热，主用清骨散。如果患者胃气虚弱、脾气不足，大便稀溏，脉象虚细，这是阴虚导致的发热，治法应当滋养阴液，主用逍遥散或四物汤。如果是气血两虚而发热的，用八珍汤来补益。如果是元气极度亏虚，变生各种症状，难以一一描述，此时不论脉象如何，也不论具体是什么病名，只用人参养荣汤，各种症状自然消退。医经说：甘温的药物能够消除大热，如果误用寒凉药物，反而会损伤人体的生机，大多导致无法救治。

Treat cough with hemoptysis, gradually developing into the syndrome of bone-steaming consumption fever (a consumptive disease characterized by afternoon or night fever, heat in the palms and soles, and irritability in the bones). If the patient has strong stomach qi and abundant righteous qi, with constipation and a forceful pulse, this is excess yang generating internal heat; the treatment method should be cooling and clearing, primarily using Qinggu San (Clearing Bone Decoction). If the patient has weak stomach qi and deficient spleen qi, with loose stools and a deficient, fine pulse, this is yin deficiency causing fever; the treatment method should be nourishing yin, primarily using Xiaoyao San (Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) or Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction). If there is fever due to both qi and blood deficiency, use Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasure Decoction) to tonify. If primordial qi is severely deficient, resulting in myriad variable symptoms that are difficult to describe, regardless of the pulse or the specific disease name, only use Renshen Yangrong Tang (Ginseng Nourishing the Young Decoction), and all symptoms will naturally recede. The classics state: Sweet and warm substances can eliminate great heat. If cold and cool substances are mistakenly used, they will counterattack and damage the vital energy, often leading to untreatable conditions.
