It means that heat syndrome is treated with bitter cold medicine, but the heat does not subside, and instead, weight gain is seen. This is not an excess heat syndrome, but a deficiency heat due to deficiency of kidney yin, so the treatment should nourish yin and tonify kidney.
Fever is easy to cause yin injury, forcing fluid to leak out and eliminating yin and fluid, which is harmful to the body's yin fluid. Bing Wang in the Tang Dynasty explained that "the master of strengthening water is to control sunlight". Its meaning is to use the method of nourishing yin and strengthening water to suppress the sun.
from the pre-Qin anonymous "Su Wen Zhi Zhen Da Lun No.74", selected from Huangdi Neijing: "Those who are cold and hot take the yin, and those who are hot and cold take the yang, so-called seeking their belonging."
If the fever is treated with cold drugs but the fever does not go away, it should be treated from the yin, and if the cold disease is treated with warm drugs but the cold does not go away, it should be treated from the yang, that is, the so-called method of seeking the root of the disease.

Huangdi Neijing, also known as Neijing, is one of the earliest books in China and the first of the four classic books of traditional medicine in China. According to legend, it was made by the Yellow Emperor, because it was named. However, it is widely acknowledged that this book was finally formed in the Western Han Dynasty, and the author was not a single person, but was created by Huang Lao physicians in China. As pointed out in "Huai Nan Zi Xiu Wu Xun", the title of "Yellow Emperor" is intended to trace back to the source and worship the original, so as to illustrate the early birth of China medical culture.
Huangdi Neijing is a comprehensive medical book, which established the theories of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Pulse, Zangxiang, Meridian, Etiology, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, Treatment, Health Preservation and Luck in traditional Chinese medicine.
To discuss medicine from a holistic view, it presents a "holistic medical model" of nature, biology, psychology and society, and its basic material comes from the long-term observation of life phenomena by ancient people in China, a large number of clinical practices and simple anatomical knowledge.
Huangdi Neijing has laid the foundation for understanding human physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment. It is a medical work with great influence in China and is called the ancestor of medicine.
Huangdi Neijing is divided into two parts: Lingshu and Suwen. The main contents of Suwen are as follows: Volumes 1 and 2 are the theory of health preservation and yin-yang and five elements, Volume 3 is the dirty image, Volume 4 is the treatment method, Volumes 5 and 6 are the diagnosis method, Volumes 7 and 8 are the pathogenesis, Volumes 9 to 13 are the diseases, and Volumes 14 to 18 are the diseases.
The above basic theories related to human physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment highlight the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the holistic view of a high degree of unity between man and nature, the functions of viscera and qi and blood, the etiology and pathogenesis, and the treatment principles and methods of diseases, which are the essence of Su Wen.
