儿吐不止何因生，秽恶停留胃内成，或缘禀赋胎寒热，或因生时感寒风，

又有胎前受热，面黄赤手足温，口吐黄涎酸粘者，二陈汤加黄连主之，
若胎前受寒，面青白，四肢冷，口吐清稀白沫者，理中汤主之。

The newborn's eyes remain closed and cannot open, primarily due to spleen heat transmitted from the fetus. Internal administration of Dihuang Tang (Rehmannia Decoction) is most effective, while external washing of the eyes with Xiongdan (Bear Gallbladder) yields miraculous results.
[Note]
When a newborn fails to open their eyes, it is caused by the pregnant woman's irregular diet and indulgence in rich, greasy foods, leading to the steaming of heat toxins. This results in heat accumulating in the infant's spleen. Since the eyelids belong to the spleen, their meridians become tight and constricted due to heat, preventing the eyes from opening. Internally, Shengdihuang Tang (Fresh Rehmannia Decoction) should be administered, and externally, the eyes should be washed with Xiongdan Tang (Bear Gallbladder Decoction), after which they will heal spontaneously.
(Shengdihuang Tang / Fresh Rehmannia Decoction) Ingredients: Sheng Dihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Preparata), Chishao Yao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra), Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae), Tianhuafen (Radix Trichosanthis). Preparation: Decoct in water and take orally.
(Fangge / Formula Song)

Chuanxiong, Danggui, Tianhuafen, Shengdi,
Decoct with water, take quickly without delay.
(Xiongdan Washing Method) Ingredients: Xiongdan (Felis Carchariae Vel Felis Gallus), Huanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis), each in small amounts. Preparation: Pour boiling water over them to steep and wash the eyes; the eyes will naturally open.

Why does the newborn vomit incessantly? It is caused by foul and turbid matter remaining in the stomach. It may arise from congenital endowment resulting in fetal cold or fetal heat, or from contracting wind-cold during birth. For vomiting caused by the retention of foul matter, Yinianjin San (One-Pinch Gold Powder) should be administered. For vomiting due to external contraction of wind-cold, Xiangsu Yin (Agastache and Perilla Drink) can be used to warm and disperse. For vomiting with hot, sour, and sticky saliva, Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) plus Huanglian should be used. For vomiting of clear foam due to cold, Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) should be used.
[Note]
After leaving the womb, if the infant suffers from constipation and the abdominal foul matter is not completely expelled, leading to abdominal fullness and incessant vomiting, Yinianjin should be the primary treatment. If, during delivery, the infant was exposed to cold pathogens, causing cold to invade the stomach, resulting in the infant curling their waist while crying and vomiting clear foam incessantly, Xiangsu Yin should be used to warm and disperse. Additionally, if there was heat accumulation before birth, manifesting as a yellow-red complexion, warm hands and feet, and vomiting of yellow, sour, and sticky saliva, Erchen Tang plus Huanglian should be used. If there was cold accumulation before birth, manifesting as a blue-white complexion, cold limbs, and vomiting of clear, thin white foam, Lizhong Tang should be used.
