吐泻疟痢病在脾，惊风心肝两经为。咳嗽哮喘病在肺，发稀
骨软肾元亏。
如小儿五软，有胎元(29)不足软者，有大病后软者，有误(30)服
凉药软者。胎或禀软者，地黄丸主之;大病后软者，参苓白术丸主
之;误服凉药软者，加味八味地黄丸主之。
以上三症，若不急治，有伤真元，久则成痿，以至不可治者
多矣。

Vomiting, diarrhea, malaria, and dysentery are diseases located in the Spleen; convulsions (Jing Feng) involve the Heart and Liver meridians. Cough and asthma are diseases located in the Lung; sparse hair and soft bones indicate a deficiency of Kidney Yuan Qi (Primordial Qi).
Regarding "Five Softnesses" (Wu Ruan) in children, there are cases caused by insufficient prenatal endowment (Tai Yuan), cases occurring after severe illness, and cases resulting from the mistaken administration of cooling/cold-natured medicines. For softness due to congenital deficiency, Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) is the primary formula; for softness following severe illness, Shenling Baizhu San (Ginseng, Poria, and Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) is the primary formula; for softness caused by the erroneous use of cold medicines, Jiawei Bawei Dihuang Wan (Modified Eight-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) is the primary formula. If these three conditions are not treated urgently, they will damage the True Yuan (True Primordial Qi); if prolonged, they may develop into Wei Syndrome (Flaccidity Syndrome), leading to many incurable cases.
