Alternatively, burn Dengxincao (Junci Medulla) to ash, apply to the nipple for the infant to suckle; this is also effective. (Formulas are seen in the preceding text.)

Dasuan (Allii Sativi Bulbus) (one bulb, slow-fire roasted until fragrant and cooked, taken out, finely chopped, pounded and ground, dried to half-dry under sun or fire, then ground), Xuxiang (Boswelliae Resin) (0.5 qian, separately ground).
Mix evenly, form pills the size of mustard seeds. Take seven pills per dose when the breast is empty.

Night Crying Due to Taboo Violation
Take Suhexiang Wan (Styrax Pill), fumigate with charcoal smoked with vinegar, and use ritual arts to exorcise. If crying occurs upon touching the nipple, there must be slight heat on the body and forehead. Urgently check for Chongshe (double tongue/sublingual swelling). Treat according to the methods for mouth ulcers and double tongue mentioned previously; the crying will stop naturally.
Single Prescription
Treats diarrhea resulting from internal organ heat causing thirst and drinking fluids. Prolonged illness leads to Qi and Blood deficiency, preventing upward nourishment of the brain marrow, thus causing the fontanelle to sink like a pit, requiring it to become full and flat. Use the skull of a yellow dog, roast until yellow, grind into powder, and apply mixed with egg white.
