According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Chao): In infants, hiccups occur because the milk fed is cold; cold qi enters the stomach and rebels against the Stomach Qi. The cold obstructs the Stomach Qi, preventing it from flowing smoothly, thus causing hiccups.
According to *Qian Jin Yi Fang* (Supplement to the Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold): If there is deficiency-cold in the Stomach, and the person cannot eat, drinking water will induce hiccups.
*Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats infant hiccups with the following formula:
Fresh Ginger Juice (Shengjiang Zhi), Cow's Milk (Niurou) (each 5 he).
Decoct the above two ingredients to obtain 5 he. Divide into two doses. *Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* (Holy Grace Formulas of the Taiping Era) uses the same method: 2 he of Cow's Milk and 1 he of Ginger Juice, boiled once in a silver vessel. A one-year-old infant drinks half a he.
Another formula from *Qian Jin Fang*:
Take 1 sheng of Cow's Milk, decoct to obtain 5 he, and divide into five doses. *Wai Tai Mi Yao* (Secret Essentials of the Outer Cabinet) uses Sheep's Milk for decoction; if unavailable, substitute with Cow's Milk. *Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* is similar, but only boils for two or three times.
*Gu Jin Lu Yan* (Verified Records of Past and Present) treats infant hiccups with the following formula:
Deer Horn Powder (Lujiao Fen), Soybean (Dadou, ground).
Mix equal parts of the above. Blend with breast milk, apply to the nipple, and let the infant suckle.
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* treats persistent infant hiccups with Dingxiang San (Clove Powder):

Pulverize the above herbs and sieve to make a powder. For children aged three to four years, administer 1 qian per dose. Add a small amount of fresh ginger to 1 xiao zhan (small cup) of water, decoct until reduced to 0.5 zhan, strain, and take warm at any time. Adjust dosage according to the child's size.
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* treats persistent infant hiccups accompanied by mental restlessness with Renshen San (Ginseng Powder):
Renshen (Ginseng), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Baifuling (Poria, each 0.5 liang), Gancao (Licorice Root, stir-baked and crushed), Huoxiang (Patchouli, each 1 fen).
Pulverize the above herbs and coarsely sieve to make a powder. Administer 1 qian per dose. Decoct in 1 xiao zhan of water until reduced to 0.5 zhan, strain, and take slightly warm at any time. Reduce the dose according to the child's size.
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* treats infant hiccups where the child refuses milk and food with Caodoukou San (Grain-of-Paradise Powder):
Caodoukou (Grain-of-Paradise Seed, 3 seeds, remove skin), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1 fen, stir-baked and crushed), Renshen (Ginseng, 0.5 liang).
Pulverize the above herbs and coarsely sieve to make a powder. Administer 1 qian per dose. Decoct in 1 xiao zhan of water until reduced to 0.5 zhan, strain, and take warm at any time. Adjust dosage according to the child's size.

Pulverize the above herbs and coarsely sieve to make a powder. For children aged three to four years, administer 1 qian per dose. Decoct in 1 xiao zhan of water until reduced to 0.4 zhan, strain, and take frequently while slightly warm. Adjust dosage according to the child's size.
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* treats infant hiccups with a formula for the nursing mother to take, Renshen San (Ginseng Powder):
Renshen (Ginseng, 3 fen), Chenpi (Tangerine Peel, 1 liang, remove white pith).
Pulverize the above herbs and coarsely sieve to make a powder. Administer 3 qian per dose. Decoct in 1 zhong zhan (medium cup) of water with 0.5 fen of fresh ginger until reduced to 0.6 zhan, strain, and take hot. Take three to four times at night. After the nursing mother takes this medicine, breastfeeding the infant yields excellent results.
*Hui Yan Guan Zheng* (Observations on Vision through Mercy) Pingwei Wan (Stomach-Calming Pill) nourishes and strengthens Stomach Qi, primarily treating dry heaving.
Maqinzi (Seed of Celosia argentea, raw), Baijiangcan (White Silkworm, straight ones), Dingxiang (Clove).
Grind the above equal parts into fine powder. Mix with refined honey to form pills the size of wutong seeds (approx. 6-9mm diameter). Take one pill per dose, dissolved in decoction made from one slice of stir-baked Chenpi. Whenever various diseases cause a slight weakness of Stomach Qi, take this medicine.
