Xiao'er Xiangying (Pediatric Neck Goiter). It arises from crying and anger not yet subsiding, followed immediately by feeding with milk or drinking. This causes rebellious Qi to fail to disperse, remaining and knotting to form the condition. Its manifestation is a series of lumps on the neck, gradually enlarging and divided into lobes. Another account states: When kudzu root lies in the ground and spring water flows over it, people use this water for food and drink, which leads to the development of neck goiter. Therefore, those living near mountains often suffer from it, because kudzu grows in the mountains.
Kunbu Wan (Laminaria Pill)
Treats neck goiter.
Kunbu (Laminariae Thallus, 1 liang, washed to remove salty taste), Haizao (Sargassum Thallus, 1 liang, washed to remove salty taste), Longdancao (Gentianae Radix, remove rhizome, 1 liang), Binglang (Arecae Semen, 0.5 liang), Tiantingli (Descurainiae Semen et Herba, 1 liang, stir-fried between papers until purple, then ground finely), Qianniu Zi (Pharbitidis Semen, 0.5 liang, stir-fried).
Grind all ingredients into a fine powder. Mix with wheat flour paste to form pills the size of millet seeds. Take 10 pills per dose, administered with Ginseng Decoction.
Another prescription for treating neck goiter that has persisted for one or two years. Use Huangyaozi (Dioscorea bulbifera Tuber), half a jin; the tight and heavy ones from Wanzhou are superior. If they are light and hollow, they originate from other regions and have weaker potency, requiring double the dosage. Take one dou of wine without dregs (Wuhui Jiu, clear wine), put the herbs in, seal the bottle mouth tightly, and simmer over bran fire for one shi (two hours). The fire must not be fierce, and the wine must not contain dregs. Once cooled, open the bottle. Let the patient sip half he to half he occasionally, ensuring the scent of wine is never completely absent. After three to five days, observe if the swelling has subsided; if so, stop drinking. Otherwise, it may cause the child's neck to become too thin. Liu Yuxi also recorded its efficacy, which was miraculous. For burning wine, wait until the aroma emerges and moisture appears at the bottle neck, then stop; there is no need to wait a full shi. Still, forbid emotional excitement. Measure the circumference daily with a thread to know the effect.
In children, disharmony of the Zang-Fu organs, combined with deficiency gaps in the meridians around the neck, allows Wind-Heat Toxic Qi to invade. It battles with Blood and Qi around the neck, forming nodules. If further affected by Wind-Cold, these nodules neither dissipate nor suppurate, named Ehe (Malignant Nodule). If Wind-Cold continues to act upon the Body Fluids and interacts with the Zang-Fu, they may ulcerate and transform into pus and blood. They may temporarily improve but recur, or new nodules may sprout beside the root, resulting in several continuous lesions that do not heal, named Luoli (Scrofula). Commonly referred to as "Luoli Zi". This is a disease where the Blood and Qi of the Zang-Fu are internally and externally connected.
Zaojiao Gao (Tamarisk Cathartic Fruit Ointment)
