【Pathogenesis of infantile convulsions】

External pathogenic factors: Extreme heat generates wind; summer pathogenic factors transform into fire, invade the jueyin meridian, and induce liver wind; excessive summer heat combined with dampness generates phlegm turbidity, obscures the pericardium, and when phlegm is agitated, wind is generated; if exposed to epidemic pathogenic factors, heat and fire are generated, counterflowing into the pericardium, causing excessive fire and wind.
2. Internal accumulation of damp-heat: Unhygienic diet, consumption of contaminated or toxic foods, accumulation of damp-heat and epidemic toxins in the intestines and organs, invasion of the heart and liver, and disturbance of consciousness.
3. Sudden fright and shock: The qi of infants is not fully developed, and sudden fright and shock can cause disordered qi. Fear can cause qi to descend, leading to the heart losing its control. The lack of support from the spirit causes restlessness and vigilance; or if phlegm and saliva accumulate upwards, it can induce liver wind, leading to convulsions.
