人，皆由触冒，所以感之。小儿虽不能触冒，其乳母抱持解脱，不避风邪，冷热气所感病也。

《外台秘要》记载黄帝说：伤寒热病的危重死证有九种，其中第四种是老人和婴儿患热病出现腹部胀满的，属于死证。
《太平圣惠方》说：小儿热病，是因为冬季严寒时，人触犯了寒气，寒气侵入肌肉之中，当时没有立即发病，到了夏季才发为热病。凡是邪气伤人，都是因为触犯外邪所致。虽然小儿不能主动外出触犯外邪，但如果乳母在抱持或照顾孩子时疏忽大意，不躲避风邪，导致冷热之气侵袭身体而致病。
《千金方》中的升麻汤，治疗小儿伤寒转化为热毒病，症状包括身体发热、面色红赤、口干燥、心腹部坚硬急迫，大小便不通利。或者出现口腔溃疡；或者因为高热，导致四肢抽搐惊厥，进而形成痫疾（癫痫），发作时昏迷，清醒后身体发热如火焰一般，此方均主治这些病症。

Zhang Zhongjing discusses: Contracting cold pathogens in winter leads to febrile diseases (Re Bing) in summer.
The *Waitai Miyao* records the Yellow Emperor stating: There are nine critical fatal conditions in typhoid and febrile diseases; the fourth is when elderly people and infants suffering from febrile disease present with abdominal fullness, which indicates a fatal prognosis.
The *Taiping Shenghui Fang* states: Pediatric febrile disease occurs when, during the severe cold of winter, individuals are exposed to cold pathogens that penetrate into the muscles. The disease does not manifest immediately but develops into a febrile disease in summer. All pathogenic invasions result from exposure to external factors. Although children do not actively expose themselves, if the wet nurse neglects care while holding or attending to the child and fails to shield them from wind pathogens, the illness arises from the invasion of cold and heat qi.
Shengma Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction - Note: Text says Shengma, usually Cimu or specific formula name, here translated as Shengma Tang) from the *Qianjin Fang* treats pediatric typhoid transformed into heat-toxin disease. Symptoms include body fever, red face, dry mouth, hardness and urgency in the heart and abdomen, and difficulty in urination and defecation. It also treats oral ulcers; or convulsions and惊厥 (convulsions/tetany) of the four limbs caused by high fever, which may develop into epilepsy (Xian Ji), characterized by alternating episodes of unconsciousness and waking, with body heat like fire upon waking. This formula addresses all these conditions.

Decoct until one sheng remains. For infants aged 30 to 60 days, administer 2 he per dose. For those aged 60 to 100 days, administer 2.5 he per dose.
