气促的原因在于肺热未清。观察口鼻呼吸的出入情况，即可判断喘证的真实状态。若出现鼻翼扇动、痰鸣音重，说明肺气即将衰竭；胸部高耸，必定预后不良，难以挽回。
气促这一症状，多因肺热不清所致。治疗应当根据病程阶段来区分。如果出现在麻疹未发出或正在发出的阶段，用药宜采用疏解透托的方法，以清热透肌汤（见原文第二十五条）去掉甘草为主方进行治疗。如果出现在麻疹正消退或消退后的阶段，用药宜降火及泻肺气，以清咽滋肺汤（见原文第五十条）去掉玉竹、桔梗、甘草，加入茯苓、陈皮以消除痰湿。如果张口呼吸且气息出入困难，胸胁部高高隆起，动作起止无常不定，这就是喘症，属于痰火证候。这是热邪壅塞肺窍，气道阻塞造成的。然而喘症有虚实之分，实证容易治疗，虚证难以治愈。想要确切辨别其虚实，可以通过大便的溏泄与否、小便的清利与否、大便的干结与否、小便的赤涩与否来分别判断。（朱氏说：虚实的区分，应当在见证中寻找依据。）如果大便溏泄，小便清长通畅，嘴唇发白且身体没有大热，都属于虚症。治疗可用半夏、苏子、芥子、葶苈子、桔梗、甘草、莱菔子、陈皮、南星、茯苓等药物，以清化痰浊、润肺止咳，但往往难以见效。如果是实证，则大便干硬燥结，小便赤红涩痛，嘴唇发红且身体发高热，可用甘草、桔梗、陈皮、枳壳、苏子、栝蒌仁、杏仁、桑白皮、黄芩、黄连、天冬、麦冬等药物，大多容易取得疗效。如果确实是实证，可用竹叶石膏汤（见原文第二十六条）去掉人参、半夏、炙甘草、粳米，加入栝蒌仁、贝母、白芥子进行治疗。冬季可再加少许用蜜酒炒制的麻黄，可以随手奏效。大致来说，麻疹未发出时的喘症容易治疗，消退后出现的喘症难治。如果在发热时多出现喘症，是因为邪热壅塞于肺的缘故。千万不要使用定喘的药物，只宜用大剂量的石膏知母竹叶汤，或者柽叶葛根汤，去掉甘草为主方治疗。刚开始发热就出现喘症的，用麻黄汤去掉甘草，加入连翘、牛蒡子、枳壳。或者用清金散火汤去掉桔梗、甘草，加入酒炒黄芩、杏仁、连翘、枳壳进行治疗。刚开始发热、麻疹尚未发出时就出现喘症的，用三拗汤去掉甘草，加入荆芥、石膏、芽茶进行治疗。如果是肺炎引起的喘嗽，用加味泻白散去掉人参、甘草为主方治疗。出现喘症且鼻子黑而干燥的，用白虎解毒汤（见原文第二十六条）为主方治疗。如果是痰实壮热，胸中壅闷，躺下时喘急，用前胡枳壳散去掉甘草，加入贝母、黄连、黄芩、栝蒌霜进行治疗。如果麻疹已经发出却出现喘症，用加味清肺降火汤为主方治疗。如果麻疹发出三天后出现喘症，急忙用静远主人清肺饮（见原文第五十条）去掉知母、桔梗、甘草，加入古仁（注：疑为苦杏仁之误或别名）、栝蒌霜、芥子进行治疗。或者用生地黄散（见原文第五十条）治疗。如果麻疹后退烧后出现喘症，用清咽滋肺汤（见原文第五十条）去掉玉竹、桔梗、甘草，合用白虎汤（见原文第二十六条）去掉甘草、粳米，以滋润肺胃。如果麻疹后退烧后出现喘症，日久导致胃气虚弱，不可再用白虎汤（见原文第二十六条），只宜用静远主人清肺饮（见原文第五十条）为主方治疗。麻疹后退烧后如果有日久喘咳不止的情况，用小柴胡汤（见原文第二十二条），用贝母代替半夏，沙参代替人参，加入五味子进行权变治疗。如果喘症而没有鼻涕，兼有鼻翼扇动的，就很难治疗了。因为鼻扇症意味着肺气即将衰竭。如果鼻扇且喘满痰鸣的，这一定是无法治愈的。如果鼻扇但咽喉清利，没有喘满感且精神如常不减的，十人中能救活两三个，适宜用滋培肺气的药物，以润肺清痰为主，用补肺阿胶散治疗。麻疹消退后出现鼻扇的不治。如果麻疹喘症伴随胸部高耸的，这是肺经热盛导致胀起的症状。这种症状多见于麻疹正消退及消退后。凡是麻疹见到胸部高耸的症状，属于肺脏败坏，是不治之候。有用葶苈桑白皮散治疗的，也仅仅只有十分之一二的成功率罢了。如果想做到施治无不响应，是不可能的。

补肺阿胶散 治疗肺虚有火，咳嗽无津液且气逆鼻扇。

李时珍说：补肺阿胶散中使用马兜铃，并非取其补肺之功，而是取其清热降气的作用，肺气自然安定。其中的阿胶、粳米，才是补肺的正药。要知道清热降气，泻火即是补益的方法。如果专门使用补药，反而助长肺火而增加咳嗽。

The cause of shortness of breath lies in the uncleared Lung heat. Observing the inhalation and exhalation through the mouth and nose reveals the true state of asthma (asthma). If nasal flaring (nasal flaring) and phlegm rales are present, it indicates that Lung Qi is about to fail; if the chest is elevated, the prognosis is definitely poor and difficult to reverse.
This symptom of shortness of breath is mostly caused by uncleared Lung heat. Treatment should be differentiated according to the stage of the disease. If it appears during the pre-eruption or eruption phase of measles, medication should adopt the method of dispersing and supporting eruption, primarily using Qing Re Tou Ji Tang (Clear Heat and Permeate Muscle Decoction) with Licorice Root removed (see Article 25). If it appears during the resolution phase or after resolution, medication should focus on descending fire and purging Lung Qi, primarily using Qing Yan Zi Fei Tang (Clear Throat and Nourish Lung Decoction) with Bletilla Rhizome and Platycodon Root removed, adding Poria and Tangerine Peel to eliminate phlegm. If there is open-mouth breathing with difficulty in air intake and output, and the chest and hypochondrium are significantly elevated with irregular movements, this is asthma, belonging to the Phlegm-Fire syndrome. This is caused by heat pathogen obstructing the Lung orifices and blocking the airways. However, asthma has deficiency and excess patterns; excess patterns are easy to treat, while deficiency patterns are difficult. To accurately distinguish between deficiency and excess, one can differentiate based on whether the stool is loose or formed, whether urination is clear and profuse or scanty and painful, whether the stool is dry and hard, and whether urination is red and astringent. (Zhu stated: The distinction between deficiency and excess should be sought in the manifestations.) If the stool is loose, urination is clear and smooth, lips are pale, and there is no high fever, these are all deficiency patterns. Treatment may use Pinellia, Perilla Seed, Mustard Seed, Lepidium Seed, Platycodon, Licorice, Radish Seed, Tangerine Peel, Arisaema, and Poria to clear phlegm and moisten the Lung, but efficacy is often poor. If it is an excess pattern, then the stool is dry and hard, urination is red and painful, lips are red, and there is high fever. Medications such as Licorice, Platycodon, Tangerine Peel, Aurantium, Perilla Seed, Trichosanthes Seed, Apricot Kernel, Mulberry Root Bark, Scutellaria, Coptis, Ophiopogon, and Asparagus Fern may be used, which usually yield effective results quickly. If it is indeed an excess pattern, Zhu Ye Shi Gao Tang (Bamboo Leaf and Gypsum Decoction) with Ginseng, Pinellia, Honey-fried Licorice, and Rice removed, adding Trichosanthes Seed, Fritillaria, and White Mustard Seed can be used for treatment. In winter, a small amount of Ephedra stir-fried with honey and wine may be added for immediate effect. Generally speaking, asthma occurring before the eruption of measles is easy to treat, whereas asthma occurring after resolution is difficult to treat. If asthma occurs frequently during fever, it is because the pathogenic heat is congested in the Lung. One must strictly avoid using anti-asthma agents; instead, large doses of Shi Gao Zhi Mu Zhu Ye Tang (Gypsum, Anemarrhena, and Bamboo Leaf Decoction) or Cheng Ye Ge Gen Tang (Torenia Leaf and Pueraria Decoction) with Licorice removed should be used. For asthma appearing at the initial fever stage, Ma Huang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) with Licorice removed, adding Forsythia, Burdock Fruit, and Aurantium can be used. Alternatively, Qing Jin San Huo Tang (Clear Metal and Disperse Fire Decoction) with Platycodon and Licorice removed, adding Wine-fried Scutellaria, Apricot Kernel, Forsythia, and Aurantium can be used. For asthma appearing at the initial fever stage before eruption, San Ao Tang (Three Unyielding Decoction) with Licorice removed, adding Schizonepeta, Gypsum, and Young Tea Leaves can be used. For pneumonia-induced cough and asthma, Jia Wei Xie Bai San (Modified Draining White Powder) with Ginseng and Licorice removed can be used. For asthma accompanied by black and dry nose, Bai Hu Jie Du Tang (White Tiger Detoxification Decoction) can be used (see Article 26). For phlegm-excess with high fever, chest oppression, and urgent asthma when lying down, Qian Hu Zhi Ke San (Peucedanum and Aurantium Powder) with Licorice removed, adding Fritillaria, Coptis, Scutellaria, and Trichosanthes Peel can be used. If asthma occurs after measles have erupted, Jia Wei Qing Fei Jiang Huo Tang (Modified Clear Lung and Descend Fire Decoction) can be used. If asthma occurs three days after measles eruption, Jing Yuan Zhu Ren Qing Fei Yin (Jing Yuan Master's Lung-Clearing Infusion) with Anemarrhena, Platycodon, and Licorice removed, adding Ku Ren (likely Apricot Kernel), Trichosanthes Peel, and Mustard Seed should be urgently administered. Alternatively, Sheng Di Huang San (Rehmannia Powder) can be used (see Article 50). If asthma occurs after measles resolution, Qing Yan Zi Fei Tang with Bletilla Rhizome, Platycodon, and Licorice removed, combined with Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) with Licorice and Rice removed, can be used to moisten the Lung and Stomach. If asthma persists long-term after measles resolution due to Stomach Qi deficiency, Bai Hu Tang should not be used; only Jing Yuan Zhu Ren Qing Fei Yin should be used (see Article 50). For persistent asthma after measles, Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) with Fritillaria replacing Pinellia, Sha Shen replacing Ginseng, and Schisandra Berry added can be used as a provisional measure. If asthma occurs without nasal discharge and with nasal flaring, it is difficult to treat. Nasal flaring indicates impending failure of Lung Qi. If nasal flaring is accompanied by asthma, fullness, and phlegm rales, it is invariably incurable. If nasal flaring occurs but the throat is clear, without asthma/fullness, and spirit remains unchanged, two out of ten cases may be saved; medications nourishing and tonifying Lung Qi, focusing on moistening the Lung and clearing phlegm, such as Bu Fei E Jiao San (Tonify Lung and Donkey-Hide Gelatin Powder), should be used. Nasal flaring after measles resolution is incurable. If measles-related asthma is accompanied by chest elevation, it is due to severe heat in the Lung meridian causing distension. This symptom is mostly seen during the resolution phase or after resolution. Any case of measles presenting with chest elevation indicates Lung destruction and is an incurable sign. Although some use Ting Li Sang Bai Pi San (Lepidium and Mulberry Root Bark Powder), success rates are only one or two in ten. It is impossible to achieve universal success.
Shi Gao Zhi Mu Zhu Ye Tang (Gypsum, Anemarrhena, and Bamboo Leaf Decoction)

Ephedra Stem (soaked to remove green juice), Perilla Leaf, Burdock Fruit, Platycodon Root, Licorice Root. Decoct in water and take orally.
San Ao Tang (Three Unyielding Decoction)
Ephedra Stem (de-jointed, 9g), Apricot Seed (oil, skin, and tip removed, 20 seeds), Raw Licorice Root. Decoct in water and take orally. Adding Platycodon Root and Schizonepeta Spike creates Jia Wei San Ao Tang (Modified Three Unyielding Decoction).

Qian Hu Zhi Ke San (Peucedanum and Aurantium Powder)
Peucedanum Root, Aurantium, Red Poria, Honey-fried Licorice Root (each 15g), Rhubarb (dose adjusted for child). Take 9g per dose, decoct in one cup of water until reduced to 0.6 cups, and take frequently.
Jia Wei Qing Fei Jiang Huo Tang (Modified Clear Lung and Descend Fire Decoction) treats urgent asthma after measles eruption.
Tangerine Peel, Withered Scutellaria Root, Ophiopogon Tuber, Mulberry Root Bark, Rehmannia Root, Fritillaria Bulb, Gardenia Seed, Trichosanthes Seed, Trichosanthes Root, Gypsum, Lepidium Seed, Ground Tree Bark, Perilla Seed (stir-fried). Use 20 stems of Juncus Effusus as a guide. Decoct in water and take orally.
Bu Fei E Jiao San (Tonify Lung and Donkey-Hide Gelatin Powder) treats Lung deficiency with fire, cough without fluids, qi rebellion, and nasal flaring.
Donkey-Hide Gelatin from A-Jing (stir-fried with Clam Shell Powder, 45g): Tonifies blood, clears Lung, nourishes Kidney, benefits blood and Yin. When Qi flows smoothly, obstruction ceases; when fluids are replenished, saliva generates, fire retreats, and cough calms. Aristolochia Root (30g): Resembles Lung shape, thus enters Lung to clear heat and descend fire. Burdock Fruit (stir-fried until fragrant, 30g): Benefits diaphragm, slides phlegm, moistens Lung, detoxifies, and treats fire-induced cough. Apricot Kernel (skin and tip removed, 21g): Moistens dryness, disperses wind, descends Qi, and stops cough. Glutinous Rice (30g): Benefits Spleen and Stomach. Honey-fried Licorice Root (30g): Benefits Spleen and Stomach. Decoct in water and take orally.
Li Shizhen said: Using Aristolochia Root in Bu Fei E Jiao San does not aim to tonify the Lung, but to clear heat and descend Qi, thereby stabilizing the Lung. The Gelatin and Glutinous Rice within are the true Lung-tonifying herbs. One must understand that clearing heat and descending Qi, by purging, is actually a form of tonification. If one specializes solely in using tonics, it will反而 (instead) assist Lung fire and increase coughing.
