【方歌】舌疳心脾毒火成,如豆如菌痛烂红,渐若泛莲难饮食,
绵溃久变瘰历风。
【注】此证由心、脾毒火所致,其证最恶,初如豆,次如菌,
头大带小,又名舌菌。疼痛红烂无皮,朝轻暮重,急用
北庭丹点之,自然消缩而愈。若失于调治,以致焮肿,
突如泛莲,或有状如鸡冠,舌本短缩,不能伸舒,妨碍
饮食言语,时津臭涎,再因怒气上冲,忽然崩裂,血出
不止,久久延及项颔,肿如结核,坚硬〔兴〕痛,皮色
如常,顶软一点,色暗木红,破后时津臭水;腐如烂棉
,其证虽破,坚硬肿痛,仍前不退,此为绵溃,甚至透
舌穿腮,汤水漏出是以又名瘰历风也。盖舌本属心,舌
边属脾,因心绪烦扰则注火,思虑伤脾则气郁,郁甚而
成斯疾。其证外势,颇类喉风,但喉风咽喉常肿,汤水
不能下咽;此证咽喉不肿,可以下咽汤水,胃中亦思饮
食,因舌不能转动,迭送硬食,故每食不能充足,致令
胃中空虚而怯证悉添,日渐衰败。初起宜服导赤汤加黄
连,虚者服归脾汤,热甚者服温凉甘露饮合归脾汤,便
溏者服归芍异功汤。颔下肿核,初起宜用锦地罗蘸醋磨
浓敷之,溃后宜水澄膏贴之。自古治法虽多,然此证百
无一生,纵施药饵,不过苟延岁月而已。

【方歌】舌疳是由心、脾的毒火形成的,症状像豆粒或菌类,疼痛溃烂发红,逐渐发展像泛开的莲花一样难以进食,长期不愈溃烂流脓会演变成瘰疬风。
【注】此病证由心、脾的毒火所致,病情最为凶险。初期像豆粒,后来像菌类,头大蒂小,又名舌菌。疼痛、发红、溃烂无皮,早晨轻晚上重,急需使用北庭丹点涂患处,自然消退痊愈。如果失于调理治疗,导致红肿加剧,突然像泛开的莲花,或者形状像鸡冠,舌根短缩,不能伸展,妨碍饮食和言语,时常流出臭秽的唾液;再加上怒气上冲,突然崩裂,出血不止,日久蔓延到颈部和下颌,肿块像结核一样,坚硬且疼痛,皮肤颜色正常,顶部软一点,颜色暗红,破后时常流出臭水;腐烂像烂棉花,虽然破溃,但坚硬肿痛依然不退,这叫绵溃,甚至穿透舌头穿过脸颊,汤水漏出,所以又名瘰疬风。大概舌根属于心,舌边属于脾,因为心绪烦扰则注火,思虑伤脾则气郁,郁结严重而形成此病。其外在症状,很像喉风,但喉风咽喉常肿胀,汤水不能下咽;此病证咽喉不肿,可以下咽汤水,胃中也想饮食,因为舌头不能转动,反复送硬食,所以每次吃饭不能吃饱,导致胃中空虚而怯弱之证全部添加,日渐衰败。初起宜服用导赤汤加黄连,体虚者服用归脾汤,热势严重者服用温凉甘露饮合归脾汤,大便溏稀者服用归芍异功汤。下颌下的肿核,初起宜用锦地罗蘸醋磨浓敷贴,溃破后宜用水澄膏贴敷。自古以来治疗方法虽多,然而此病证百无一活,即使施用药物,也不过是苟延残喘而已。

[Prescription Verse] Shegan (Tongue Ulcer) is formed by toxic fire of the Heart and Spleen; resembling beans or fungi, it causes painful, ulcerated redness. Gradually expanding like a lotus flower, it makes eating difficult. Prolonged ulceration may transform into Luoli Feng (Scrofula Wind).
[Annotation] This condition is caused by toxic fire of the Heart and Spleen. It is the most malignant of conditions. Initially, it resembles a bean; subsequently, it resembles a fungus, with a large head and small stalk, also known as Shejun (Tongue Fungus). It presents with pain, redness, and ulceration without skin. Symptoms are lighter in the morning and heavier in the evening. One must urgently apply Beiting Dan to the affected area for natural resolution and cure. If neglected and untreated, leading to intense swelling, it may suddenly resemble an expanded lotus, or take the shape of a rooster's comb. The root of the tongue becomes shortened and cannot extend, hindering diet and speech. There is frequent discharge of foul saliva. Additionally, due to anger rushing upward, sudden rupture occurs with unceasing bleeding. Over time, this extends to the neck and mandible, where swellings resemble tubercles: hard and painful, with normal skin color, but a softer apex that is dark red. After rupture, foul-smelling fluid is discharged; the tissue rots like cotton. Although ulcerated, hardness, swelling, and pain persist unchanged. This is called Miankui (Cotton-like Ulceration). In severe cases, it penetrates through the tongue and cheek, causing fluids to leak out, hence also named Luoli Feng. Generally, the root of the tongue belongs to the Heart, and the sides belong to the Spleen. Mental agitation generates fire; overthinking injures the Spleen, causing Qi stagnation. Severe stagnation leads to this disease. Externally, its appearance resembles Houfeng (Throat Wind), but in Houfeng, the throat is often swollen, preventing swallowing; in this condition, the throat is not swollen, allowing swallowing of liquids, and the stomach desires food. However, because the tongue cannot move to manipulate solid food, one cannot eat enough, leading to an empty stomach and the addition of deficiency symptoms, resulting in gradual decline. At the onset, one should ingest Daochi Tang added with Huanglian. For those with deficiency, Guipi Tang should be taken. For severe heat, Wenliang Ganlu Yin combined with Guipi Tang is indicated. For loose stools, Guishao Yigong Tang is used. For submandibular nodules, at onset, Jindiluo soaked in vinegar and ground thickly should be applied topically. After ulceration, Shuicheng Gao should be applied. Although many treatments have existed since ancient times, this condition is almost invariably fatal. Even with medication administration, survival is merely prolonged temporarily.
