The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) states that infants, having not yet been exposed to frost and snow, do not contract Shanghan (Cold Damage). Adults, having been separated from the womb for a long time, may suffer from cold injury, which is a different matter. However, regarding Tianxing Bing (Seasonal Epidemic Diseases) caused by irregular climatic factors, infants are also susceptible. In years when seasonal epidemics occur, some infants develop maculopapular rashes shortly after birth. The treatment principles for these seasonal diseases are the same as those for adults, except that the dosages of herbs are slightly smaller and the medicinal properties are slightly cooler.
Another prescription for treating infant Shanghan:
Sheng Ge Zhi (Fresh Kudzu Juice), Dan Zhu Li (Bamboo Sap) (each 6 fen).
Mix the above two ingredients. For children aged two or three, divide into three doses. Do not boil; it is best taken raw.
