《巢氏病源》小儿中客忤候∶小儿中客忤者，是小儿神气软弱，忽有非常之物，或未经识见之人触之，与儿
神气相忤而发病，谓之客忤也。亦名中客，又名中人。其状吐下青黄白色、水谷解离，腹痛反倒天矫，面变易
五色，其状似痫，但眼不上插耳。其脉弦、急、数者是也。若失时不治，久则难治。若乳母饮酒过度，醉及
房劳，喘后乳香者最剧，能杀儿也。（其脉急数者，宜与龙胆汤下之，加人参、当归各如龙胆汁分等多少也。）
《葛氏肘后》论∶小儿病发身软、时醒者，谓之痫；身强直反张、不醒者，谓之痉。凡中客忤之病，类皆吐
下青黄白色。其候似痫，但眼不上下接耳。其痢水谷解离是也。
《千金》论∶少小所以有客忤病者，是外人来气息忤之，一名中人，是为客忤也。虽是家人或别房异户，虽
是乳母及父母或从外还，衣服经履鬼神粗恶暴气，或牛马之气，皆为忤也。执作喘息、乳气未定者，皆为客忤。
凡小儿衣、布、帛、绵中不得有头发，履中亦尔也。白衣青带、青衣白带，皆令中忤。凡非常人及诸物从
外来，亦惊小儿致病。欲防之法，诸有从外来人及异物入户，当将儿避之，勿令见也。若不避者，烧牛屎，令
常有烟气置户前则善。
小儿中客为病者，无时不有此病也。而秋初一切小儿皆病者，岂是一切小儿悉中客邪？夫小儿所以春冬少
病，秋夏多病者，秋夏小儿阳气在外，血脉嫩弱，秋初夏末晨夕时有暴冷，小儿嫩弱，其外则易伤，暴冷折其
阳，阳结则壮热，胃冷则下痢，是故夏末秋初小儿多壮热而下痢也。未必悉是中客及 也。若治少小法，夏末
秋初常宜候天气温凉也。有暴寒卒冷者，其少小则多患壮热而下痢也。慎不可先下之，皆先杀毒后下之耳。
小儿中客，急视其口中悬痈左右，当有青黑肿脉核如麻豆大，或赤、或白、或青，如此便宜用针速刺渍去
之，亦可爪摘决之，并以绵缠钗头拭去血也。少小中客之病，吐下青黄赤白汁，腹中痛及反倒偃侧，
喘似痫状，但目不上插少睡耳。面变五色，其脉弦急。若失时不治，小久则难治矣。欲疗之方，用豉数合，水
拌令湿，捣熟，丸如鸡子大，以摩儿囟上、手足心各五、六遍，毕以丸摩儿心及脐，上下行转摩之。食顷破视，
其中当有细毛，即掷丸道中，痛即止。（《肘后》亦收此豉方，作《短剧方》，然不若如此之详。）
茅先生客忤形候∶眼翻腾，腰背强直，项硬，手足硬，返身归后如角弓，面黑色。此候因儿子生下都不与
出屋，被人相请乳母，有檐夫扛兜，身带汗气，或有腋气，或牛马气，儿子吸着。且奈儿子五脏血气未就娇嫩，
遂吸着其气，乃积在心脏，日往月来，被风乘虚而发此之候。

*Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases in Chao's Work) on the condition of "Ke Wu" (Sudden Shock/Invasion by External Evil) in infants: When an infant suffers from Ke Wu, it is because the infant's Shen Qi (Spiritual Energy) is weak. Suddenly encountering unusual objects or being touched by people they have never seen before causes these external stimuli to clash with the infant's Shen Qi, leading to illness. This is called Ke Wu. It is also known as "Zhong Ke" (Struck by Guest) or "Zhong Ren" (Struck by Person). The symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea of green, yellow, or white substances, where food and water separate; abdominal pain with the body arching backward and twisting; facial color changing unpredictably presenting five hues; symptoms resembling epilepsy (Xian Zheng), but without upward deviation of the eyes. The pulse is wiry (Xian), rapid (Ji), and frequent (Shu). If treatment is delayed, it becomes difficult to cure after a long time. If the wet nurse drinks excessively, engages in sexual activity while drunk, and nurses the baby while still panting, this condition is most severe and can even kill the infant. (For cases with a rapid and frequent pulse, it is appropriate to use Long Dan Tang (Gentian Decoction) to purge, adding Ren Shen (Ginseng) and Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis), with dosages adjusted equally according to the proportion of Long Dan Zhi (Gentian Juice).)
*Ge Shi Zhou Hou* (Ge Hong's Elbow Manual) discusses: When an infant falls ill with a soft body and occasional consciousness, it is called Xian (Epilepsy); when the body is stiff and arched backward with no consciousness, it is called Jing (Stiffness/Spasm). All diseases of Ke Wu generally present with vomiting and diarrhea of green, yellow, or white substances. The signs resemble epilepsy, but the eyes do not roll up. This refers to the separation of water and grain.
*Qian Jin* (Thousand Gold Formulas) discusses: The reason infants and young children suffer from Ke Wu disease is that the breath of outsiders clashes with them. It is also named Zhong Ren, which is Ke Wu. Even if it is family members or people from other rooms/households, whether it is the wet nurse or parents returning from outside, if their clothes carry the coarse, violent qi of ghosts/spirits, or the smell of cattle and horses, it constitutes a clash. Nursing when laborers are panting or the milk qi has not settled will all cause Ke Wu. There must be no human hair in infants' clothes, cloth, silk, or cotton, nor in shoes. Wearing white clothes with green belts, or blue clothes with white belts, will all cause Zhong Wu. Any unusual person or object coming from outside can also startle the infant and cause illness. The method of prevention is: whenever outsiders or strange objects enter the house, keep the infant away and ensure they do not see them. If avoidance is not possible, burn cow dung so that there is always smoke at the entrance, which is beneficial.
Infants suffering from Ke Wu can get sick at any time. But why do all infants fall ill in early autumn? Is it that all infants are struck by guest evil? Infants get fewer illnesses in spring and winter but more in summer and autumn because in summer and autumn, the infant's Yang Qi is on the exterior, and the blood vessels are tender and weak. In late summer and early autumn, sudden cold occurs in the mornings and evenings. Due to their tender constitution, infants are easily injured externally. Sudden cold damages the Yang Qi; when Yang Qi binds, it causes high fever; when the stomach is cold, it causes dysentery. Therefore, infants often suffer from high fever and dysentery in late summer and early autumn. It is not necessarily all caused by Ke Wu. Regarding the treatment of infants, one should frequently observe the temperature changes in late summer and early autumn. If there is sudden cold, infants are prone to high fever and dysentery. One must not use purgatives first; instead, one should first detoxify (eliminate pathogenic factors) and then purge.
When an infant suffers from Ke Wu, quickly examine the area around the uvula in the mouth. There should be swollen, dark blue-black nodules the size of hemp seeds, colored red, white, or green. In such cases, prick them quickly with a needle and suck out the blood. Alternatively, scratch them open with fingernails to drain the blood, and wipe the blood away using cotton wrapped around the head of a hairpin. The disease of Ke Wu in infants involves vomiting and diarrhea of green, yellow, red, and white juices, abdominal pain, body arching and lying on the side, panting resembling epilepsy, but without upward eye deviation and with little sleep. The face changes colors, and the pulse is wiry and rapid. If left untreated for too long, it becomes difficult to cure. To treat it, take several heaping spoonfuls of Dou Chi (Fermented Soybeans), moisten with water, pound until cooked, and form into pills the size of chicken eggs. Rub these pills on the infant's fontanelle, palms, and soles five or six times each. After finishing, rub the pill on the infant's chest and navel, moving up and down in circles. Break it open after a short while; there should be fine hairs inside. Throw the pill onto the road, and the pain will stop. (*Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang* also records this Dou Chi formula, called *Duan Ju Fang*, but it is not as detailed as here.)
Mr. Mao describes the manifestations of Ke Wu: Eyes rolling, stiff back and waist, stiff neck, stiff hands and feet, body arching backward like a bow, and black complexion. This condition arises because the newborn never goes outside. When invited to be a wet nurse, carriers carrying the baby may have sweat odor, axillary odor, or smells of cattle and horses, which the baby inhales. Since the baby's five zang organs and blood/qi are immature and tender, inhaling these qi accumulates in the heart. Over time, wind pathogens exploit the deficiency to trigger this condition.
*Ying Tong Bao Jian* (Baby Mirror) Song on Infant Ke Wu:
Ke Wu is often caused by clashes with people or objects, and encountering ghostly qi is similar. Vomiting green, yellow, and white foam, with separated food/water and abdominal pain. Facial colors change frequently, and the pulse is wiry, rapid, and frequent, unrelated to wind. Similar to epilepsy and shock syndromes, the eyes show abnormalities indicating wind.
*Qian Jin* Formula for treating infants with Ke Wu, stiff neck, and near-death state:
Take ten white fish found in clothes, grind into powder, apply to the mother's breast, and let the infant drink. It cures immediately upon swallowing. Another method: Use two fish, place them on the mother's hand covering the infant's navel. The infant cures after vomiting/diarrhea. Can also massage the infant's neck and stiff spine.
*Qian Jin* Formula for treating infant Ke Wu, applying two-substance loess to the head:
Equal parts of loess from the stove and earthworm feces, pounded together, mixed with water to the size of a chicken egg yolk. Apply to the infant's head and five centers (palms, soles, chest). Effective. Another version: Mix with egg white to a paste.
*Qian Jin* Another Formula:
Swallow Mosiang (Musk) the size of a bean. Cures immediately. *Sheng Hui Fang* grinds it into powder, mixes with clear water for a dose of "one character". (*Guang Li Fang* treats Ke Wu by mixing musk and applying to the infant's mouth.)
*Qian Jin* Formula for treating infants with periodic attacks of Ke Wu:
Cover the infant with the mother's menstrual cloth. Very effective.
*Qian Jin Yi* (Supplement to Thousand Gold) Double Pill Formula for treating newborns with Ke Wu, Zhong E (Evil Strike), epilepsy, fever, indigestion, wind-stroke with body reversal, tongue protrusion, Zhu Wu (infectious disease) with blue face, upward eye deviation, abdominal distension, epilepsy, emaciation, Zhu infection, and failure to walk by age three.
Ingredients: Mosiang (Musk), Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis), Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome - from Xuanzhou, 2 liang each), Dansha (Cinnabar), Te Sheng Fan Shi (Alum, calcined), Fuzi (Aconite Root, processed, peeled), Xionghuang (Realgar), Guixin (Cinnamon Twig), Wuzui Yu Gu (Cuttlefish Bone, 1 liang each), Badou (Croton Seed, 60 seeds, peeled, heart removed, roasted), Chi Tou Wugong (Red-headed Centipede, 1 piece, roasted. *Sheng Hui Fang* uses half the musk and niuhuang, adds half a centipede).
Pound and sieve the eleven ingredients separately. Grind Badou into a paste separately, then mix with other herbs. Blend with refined honey and pound 3,000 times. Seal tightly to prevent gas leakage. For infants 10 days to 1 month old, administer 2 pills the size of millet grains daily. For 40 days to 100 days, administer 2 pills the size of sesame seeds daily. For over 1 year, increase dosage as appropriate. For small infants with severe illness, increase pill size; do not strictly follow this size. Infants with Ke Wu are often resistant to drugs; sweating indicates efficacy. If no sweat, not cured. Administer 4-5 times a day until sweating occurs. Regarding infants struck by guests: If a woman nurses a new baby while still nursing an older one, it can cause Ke Wu. Blood in the mouth is "Yue Ke" (Monthly Guest). If present, administer this medicine to save the infant. Saliva accumulation and abdominal heat require moxibustion on the navel (up to 14 moxa cones) along with diligent medication. For mothers who lost a child, if the baby's cry hasn't stopped after falling, scrape the tongue to remove blood like a leek leaf, then administer 2 pills the size of millet grains. Continue for 7 days. No case fails. If Chi Tou Wugong is unavailable, Chi Zu (red-footed) centipedes work; use the first two segments of three pieces; the rear part is unusable.
