（初生有病）凡十七门
《千金》论云∶儿生落地不作声者，取暖水一器灌之，须臾当啼。又云∶儿生不作声者，此由难产少气故也。
可取儿脐带向身却捋之，令气入腹，仍呵之至百度，啼声自发。亦可以葱白徐徐鞭之，即啼。儿始生即当举
之，迟晚则令中寒，腹内雷鸣，乃先浴之，然后断脐。
《婴孺》云∶凡小儿落地不作声，便取冷水一器灌浴之，须臾作声也。（《千金》用暖水，此用冷水既。
《千金》云∶由难产少气，恐不宜用冷水也。）
《仙人水鉴》∶子初生七日以前不作声者方。
胎风生下不能啼，须使园中小叶葵。捣取汁调熊胆末，才交入口免倾危。
上用葵菜叶捣取自然汁，调熊胆末，滴三、两滴入口，立便能作声，神妙。
《秘要指迷》论∶凡小儿生下才一七，目不开，此乃在母胎中受热，食面毒，致令受患。用药令母服，方可愈。
《惠眼观证》∶凡小儿生下，中胎热，眼闭口开，常作呻吟声，因受胎中热，只用凉五脏药，天竺黄散（方见重
舌门中）及与母吃，后以竹筒煎汤洗眼。
《惠眼观证》洗眼方
黄连 秦皮 灯心 大枣（等分）
上用竹筒煎汤洗之，治小儿胎热，眼不开。
《千金》论小儿初生辄死治之法，当候视儿口中悬痈前，上 上有胞者（《千金翼》云∶赤胞。）以指取头决，令溃
去血（《千金翼》云∶以绵拭血净，）勿令血入咽，入咽杀儿，急急慎之。
(Conditions at Birth) Seventeen Categories in Total
The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) discusses: When an infant does not cry upon landing after birth, pour a vessel of warm water into the mouth; within a short time, crying should commence. It further states: If an infant does not cry upon birth, this is due to Qi deficiency caused by difficult labor.
One may grasp the umbilical cord and stroke it towards the body to direct Qi into the abdomen, while blowing air towards the infant up to a hundred times, so that crying arises spontaneously. Alternatively, one may gently whip the infant with white parts of green onions (*Cong Bai*), whereupon crying will occur immediately. The infant should be lifted immediately after birth; delay will cause cold invasion, leading to borborygmus (rumbling sounds in the abdomen). In such cases, bathe the infant first, then cut the umbilical cord.
The *Yingru Shu* (Book for Infants and Toddlers) states: Whenever an infant does not cry upon birth, take a vessel of cold water to bathe the infant, and within a short time, sound will emerge. (Note: *Qianjin Fang* uses warm water; here cold water is used. Is this appropriate? *Qianjin Fang* attributes the condition to Qi deficiency from difficult labor, suggesting cold water might be unsuitable.)
The *Xianren Shuijian* (Immortal's Water Mirror) records a formula for infants who do not cry within seven days after birth.
For inability to cry due to Fetal Wind (*Tai Feng*) at birth, use small-leaf hibiscus (*Kui Cai*) from the garden. Crush to extract natural juice, mix with powdered bear gallbladder (*Xiong Dan*). Once it enters the mouth, danger is averted.
Use the above method: crush hibiscus leaves to extract natural juice, mix with bear gallbladder powder, drip three or two drops into the mouth; crying commences immediately. This is miraculous.
The *Miyao Zhimi* (Secret Essentials Pointing to Confusion) discusses: Whenever an infant has not opened their eyes after one week of birth, this is due to heat accumulation in the womb and toxicity from consuming wheat flour, causing illness. Medication should be administered to the mother to effect a cure.
The *Huiyan Guanzheng* (Observing Signs with the Eye of Compassion) states: Whenever an infant is born with Fetal Heat (*Tai Re*), eyes closed and mouth open, often making groaning sounds, due to heat received in the womb, use only herbs to cool the Five Zang organs. Administer Tianzhu Huang San (Formula see section on Double Tongue) to the mother, and subsequently wash the eyes with decoction prepared in a bamboo tube.
*Huiyan Guanzheng* Eye-Washing Formula
Coptis Rhizome (*Huang Lian*)
Phellodendron Bark (*Qin Pi*)
Juncus Effusus (*Deng Xin*)
Jujube Fruit (*Da Zao*) (Equal parts)
Boil the above in a bamboo tube to prepare a decoction for washing; treats infantile Fetal Heat and failure to open eyes.
The *Qianjin Fang* discusses the treatment for infants dying immediately after birth: One must observe the area anterior to the uvula in the infant's mouth. If there is a vesicle/bulla above it (the *Qianjin Yi Fang* specifies: a red vesicle), use a finger to puncture the head of the vesicle, allowing blood to drain and be removed (the *Qianjin Yi Fang* specifies: wipe clean with cotton). Do not allow blood to enter the pharynx; if blood enters the pharynx, it can kill the infant. Act urgently and with caution.
