Morning intake with evening vomiting indicates Cold Vomiting (Leng Tu); the milk and food are undigested and lack a sour or foul odor. The limbs are cold, and the face and lips are pale; treat with Jiangju San (Ginger and Tangerine Peel Powder) or Dingyu Lizhong Tang (Clove and Evodia Decoction for Regulating the Middle).
[Note] Cold Vomiting is caused by infants consuming excessive raw and cold foods, or by nursing mothers exposing themselves to wind and cold, allowing cold pathogenic factors to enter the breast milk. When the infant drinks this milk, Cold Vomiting occurs. Symptoms include morning intake with evening vomiting, undigested milk and food, vomitus that is neither sour nor foul-smelling, cold limbs, and pale complexion and lips. Treatment should focus on warming the middle jiao to stop vomiting. For mild stomach cold, Jiangju San is indicated; for severe cold, Dingyu Lizhong Tang is indicated.
Jiangju San (Ginger and Tangerine Peel Powder)
Paojiang (Prepared Ginger, 2 qian) Chenpi (Aged Tangerine Peel, 1 liang) Zhigancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root, 1 qian)
Grind all ingredients into a fine powder. Take 1 qian per dose, mixed with warm Jujube Decoction.
Dingyu Lizhong Tang (Clove and Evodia Decoction for Regulating the Middle)
This is Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) plus Dingxiang (Clove) and Wuzhuyu (Evodia Fruit), which warm the stomach and stop vomiting.
Vomiting immediately after eating indicates Stomach Heat; accompanied by thirst, desire for cold drinks, vomiting of sour saliva, body heat, red lips, and dark urine; Jiawei Wendan Tang (Modified Phlegm-Resolving Decoction) can cure it.
[Note] Heat Vomiting may result from infants overeating fried or roasted foods, or from nursing mothers consuming rich and strong-flavored foods, leading to heat accumulation in the stomach. This causes immediate vomiting after eating, thirst with a preference for cold drinks, vomiting of sour saliva, body heat, red lips, and dark urine. Treatment should prioritize clearing heat, using Jiawei Wendan Tang.
Jiawei Wendan Tang (Modified Phlegm-Resolving Decoction)
Chenpi (Aged Tangerine Peel) Banxia (Pinellia Tuber, processed with ginger) Fuling (Poria) Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber, heart removed) Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange, bran-fried) Shenggancao (Raw Licorice Root) Zhuru (Bamboo Shavings) Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome, stir-fried with ginger)
Use Dengxincao (Juncus Effusus) as a guiding herb, decoct in water, and take orally.
[Formula Song] For Heat Vomiting, use Wendan Tang; Chenpi, Banxia, and Fuling are excellent. Maidong, Zhishi, and Sheng Gancao, along with Zhuru and Huanglian, are decocted in water and tasted.
Infant diarrhea must be clearly identified: distinguish between damage from milk, food stagnation, cold, heat, and fright. For diarrhea due to visceral cold or spleen deficiency, such as undigested stool (Sun Xie) or watery stool (Shui Xie), treatment with methods to separate and eliminate or to warm and tonify must be precise.
[Note] Diarrhea is mostly caused by dampness soaking the spleen, where earth fails to control water. However, the origins of disease vary: some cases involve milk and food stagnation without digestion, some involve exposure to cold or summerheat pathogens, some involve external fright pathogens, some involve cold affecting the viscera, and some involve spleen deficiency causing diarrhea. There are also specific syndromes of undigested stool (Sun Xie) and watery stool (Shui Xie). Since etiologies differ, therapeutic methods vary. Physicians must differentiate carefully, applying either separation and elimination methods or warming and tonifying methods according to the syndrome, thus avoiding errors.
