巢氏云∶小儿滞颐者、涎流出而渍于颐间也，此由脾冷涎多故也。脾之液为涎，脾胃虚冷，不能收制其津液，故流
出渍于颐也。张氏温脾丹主之。一法百药煎含咽，其涎自不出亦截法也。益黄散亦治此症，温脾散亦可服。

仲阳云∶龟胸者，乃肺热胀满攻于胸膈，即成龟胸，又乳母多食五辛而成此疾。龟背者，儿生下客风吹脊，入于骨
髓，即成龟背，治以龟尿，点其背上骨节。取尿之法，当放龟于荷叶上，候龟眼四顾，急用镜照之，其尿自出。圣惠论
小儿龟胸者，缘肺热气胀满而成此疾，乳母多食辛辣之物，亦成此候，或乳母有宿乳乳儿，亦成此疾，常捏去宿乳，则
无此症也，当用圣惠龟背丸治之。圣惠论龟背者，小儿初生，未满半周，强令早坐，遂使客风吹脊，故令背高如龟之状
也。有灸法可疗，当灸第三椎骨下两傍各一寸半肺 穴，又第五椎骨下两傍二寸半心 穴，又第七椎骨下两傍各一寸半
膈俞穴。以小儿中指节为一寸，艾炷如小麦大，但三、五壮而止。又有鹤膝证，小儿禀受不足，血气不充，故肌肉瘦薄，
骨节呈露如鹤之膝，抑亦肾虚而得之，钱氏地黄丸加鹿茸以补肾气。又有行迟之症，乃血气不充、则髓不满骨，故软弱
而不能行，抑亦肝肾俱虚而得之，肝主筋，筋弱而不能束也，地黄丸加牛膝、五加皮及酒炙鹿茸，又有五加皮散治之，
又治龟胸，有龟胸丸以散其热，松蕊丹、百合丹治龟胸、龟背尤佳。
龟胸丸 治小儿龟胸、龟背，缘肺热气胀满而渐成此疾。乳母多食辛辣之物，亦能成此症。

Chao Yuanfang stated: "Infantile drooling" (Zhi Yi, accumulation of saliva in the chin area) refers to saliva flowing out and soaking the cheeks. This is caused by coldness in the Spleen leading to excessive saliva. The fluid of the Spleen is saliva; when the Spleen and Stomach are deficient and cold, they fail to control the body fluids, causing them to flow out and soak the cheeks. Zhang Huan advocated using *Wen Pi Dan* (Warm the Spleen Pill). Another method is to swallow *Bai Yao Jian* (Hundred Medicines Decoction), which naturally stops the saliva flow, serving as a method to intercept the pathogenic factor. *Yi Huang San* (Benefit the Yellow Powder) can also treat this condition, and *Wen Pi San* (Warm the Spleen Powder) may also be administered.
Zhang Huan's *Wen Pi Dan* (Warm the Spleen Pill) treats infantile drooling.
Ingredients: Banxia Qu (Prepared Pinellia Curd), Dingxiang (Clove), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) (each 1 liang); Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel) (each 0.5 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Grind the above ingredients into fine powder, mix with rice paste to form pills the size of millet seeds. For one-year-olds, administer 10 pills per dose; for two-year-olds, 20 pills per dose. Adjust according to age and severity, taken with rice soup.
*Wen Wei San* (Warm the Stomach Powder) treats infantile drooling, where saliva flows out and soaks the cheeks, also caused by Spleen coldness and excessive saliva.
Ingredients: Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, processed), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Gancao (Licorice Root), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Roudoukou (Myristicae Semen), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (each 0.5 liang); Dingxiang (Clove) (1 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Grind the above ingredients into fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, add 3 slices of fresh ginger, decoct, and take warm before meals.
*Yi Huang San* (Benefit the Yellow Powder): See Question 8.
(*Lingyang Jiao Wan* (Antelope Horn Pill) treats infants aged five or six who cannot walk.)
Qian Yi stated: "Tortoise chest" (Gui Xiong) results from lung heat causing distension and fullness that attacks the chest and diaphragm, forming tortoise chest. Additionally, if the nursing mother consumes too much "five pungent spices" (Wu Xin), this disease can occur. "Tortoise back" (Gui Bei) occurs when postnatal exogenous wind invades the spine and penetrates the bone marrow after birth, forming tortoise back. The treatment involves applying turtle urine to the vertebral joints on the back. To obtain turtle urine, place the turtle on a lotus leaf; when the turtle looks around, quickly shine a mirror on it, and its urine will flow out. *Taiping Shenghui Fang* discusses infantile tortoise chest, attributing it to lung heat causing distension and fullness. If the nursing mother eats spicy foods, this symptom can also arise. If the nursing mother has retained milk fed to the infant, this disease may also result; frequently expressing the retained milk prevents this symptom. One should use *Gui Bei Wan* (Tortoise Back Pill) from *Shenghui Fang*. *Taiping Shenghui Fang* discusses tortoise back, stating that if an infant under one year old is forced to sit too early, exogenous wind invades the spine, causing the back to protrude like a tortoise shell. Moxibustion can treat this: moxa should be applied to Feishu (BL-13, Lung Shu) located 1.5 cun lateral to the lower border of the third thoracic vertebra, Xinshu (BL-15, Heart Shu) located 2.5 cun lateral to the lower border of the fifth thoracic vertebra, and Geshu (BL-17, Diaphragm Shu) located 1.5 cun lateral to the lower border of the seventh thoracic vertebra. Use 1 cun defined by the middle joint of the infant's finger. The moxa cone should be the size of a wheat grain. Stop after three to five moxa cones. There is also "Crane knee" syndrome, caused by insufficient congenital endowment and lack of Qi and Blood, resulting in thin muscles and exposed joints resembling crane knees. This is also due to Kidney deficiency. Qian Yi's *Dihuang Wan* (Rehmannia Pill) with added Lurong (Deer Antler) can tonify Kidney Qi. There is also delayed walking, caused by insufficient Qi and Blood failing to fill the bones with marrow, resulting in weakness and inability to walk. This is also due to deficiency of both Liver and Kidney. The Liver governs tendons; weak tendons fail to bind the joints. *Dihuang Wan* (Rehmannia Pill) with added Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix), Wujia Pi (Acanthopanacis Cortex), and Jiuzhi Lurong (Deer Antler prepared with wine) can be used. *Wujia Pi San* (Acanthopanacis Cortex Powder) is also effective. For tortoise chest, *Gui Xiong Wan* (Tortoise Chest Pill) disperses heat. *Songrui Dan* (Pine Pollen Pill) and *Baihe Dan* (Lily Bulb Pill) are particularly excellent for treating tortoise chest and tortoise back.
*Gui Xiong Wan* (Tortoise Chest Pill) treats infantile tortoise chest and tortoise back, caused gradually by lung heat and distension. Nursing mothers eating spicy foods can also cause this condition.
