Abdominal and cardiac pain in infants arises from deficiency of the Zang-Fu organs, allowing cold pathogenic qi to invade. The pathogenic qi contends with the organ qi, striking up and down; upward striking manifests as cardiac pain, downward striking as abdominal pain, and simultaneous striking results in pain in both the heart and abdomen. Additionally, there is a syndrome characterized by sudden, cramping abdominal pain upon onset, dry crying without tears, curvature of the waist and bowing of the back, dryness of the upper lip, and sweating on the forehead.
