（音奇），小鬼也，乳下婴儿未能行，而母更有娠，其儿病微微下利，寒热去来，
毛发 ，以为有恶鬼神导其腹中胎，妒嫉而为此，故名曰 病也。以他人相近，
亦能相继，亦曰继病。妊娠妇人不必悉能致 ，亦时有此尔。女子气血上为乳汁，
下为经水，小儿饮交乳且病，况其大分已荣于胎，而乳汁之漓可知，能无使儿病乎，
则又何鬼神之咎为也。《千金》炙伏翼熟嚼哺儿，而怀妊者带伯劳鸟毛、白马眼，不
能滋荣气血，乃徒剥裂禽兽。海藏云∶生者为相继，死者为传尸，有脉而无气、
谓之尸厥，有气而无脉，谓之行尸。丁奚、露哺、客忤、无辜四异病也。阳易、
阴易、百合、狐惑、四奇病也。

Crush into a powder. Take 3 qian per dose, decoct with Zingiberis Pericarpium (Shengjiangpi), Raphani Semen (Luobozǐ), and Piperis Fructus (Jiaomu).
Qingpi Decoction: Treats post-malarial edema in children, accompanied by persistent alternating chills and fever, and anorexia.

Crush into pieces. Take 3 qian per dose, decoct with ginger water.
Note: The above formulas are all drugs that attack and drain primordial Qi (Yuanqi). If the disease has lasted long and spleen deficiency causes swelling, Yi Gong San (Modified Five-Ingredient Powder with Licorice) by Qian Yi should be the main formula, slightly assisted by Wupi Tang (Five-Peel Decoction; see Edema in Miscellaneous Diseases). Misuse of these will inevitably lead to untreatable conditions.
(Zhi), meaning little ghost. Infants under nursing age cannot walk, while their mothers are pregnant again. The child suffers from mild diarrhea and alternating chills and fever, with withered hair. It is believed that evil spirits guide the fetus in the womb, causing jealousy and this condition, hence named Zhu Bing (Infectious Disease/Neurological Disorder). Those close to the patient can also be successively infected, also called Ji Bing (Successive Disease). Pregnant women do not always cause Zhu Bing, but it occurs occasionally. In women, Qi and Blood ascend to form breast milk and descend as menstrual blood. When infants drink exchanged milk and fall ill, considering their physical form was already nourished in the womb, the thinness of the milk is evident; how can it not make the infant sick? Why blame ghosts and gods? *Qianjin Fang* suggests chewing roasted bat flesh to feed the infant, while pregnant women wear sparrow hawk feathers or horse eye beads. This does not nourish Qi and Blood but merely mutilates animals. Haizang said: Living transmission is called "Xiangji," dead transmission is called "Chuanshi." Pulse without Qi is called Shijue (Corpse Faintness); Qi without pulse is called Xingshi (Walking Corpse). Dingxi, Lupu, Kewu, and Wugu are four distinct diseases. Yangyi, Yinyi, Baihe, and Huhuo are four strange diseases.
Longdan Decoction: Treats newborns with abundant and solid blood vessels, presenting with warm fevers, alternating chills and fever, and convulsions of the four limbs. For vomiting cases where the infant can take supplementary food but suffers from abdominal fullness and indigestion. For persistent high fever and unresolved Bianzheng (metabolic heat changes). For invasion by human or ghostly Qi, and various types of fright epilepsy. This formula treats all such conditions.
Gentianae Radix (Longdanchao), Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin), Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng), Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis (Diaotengpi), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, roasted), Poria (Fuling), Paeoniae Radix (Shaoyao) (each 2.5 qian), Silphii Laricis Stool (Dianlang) (2 pieces), Rheum Palmatum (Dahuang) (1 liang).
Crush into a powder. Decoct 1 sheng of water to obtain 5 he as one dose. Suitable for children under ten years old. For infants aged 1 to 7 days, divide 1 he into three doses; 8 to 15 days, divide 1.5 he into three doses; 16 to 20 days, divide 2 he into three doses; 20 to 30 days, divide 3 he into three doses. Stop when bowel movement is achieved. This formula is designed for newborns. For older infants, follow this example. Knowing if it is Kewu (Sudden Shock) or Zhu Qi (Infectious Qi), add Codonopsis Radix (Renshen) and Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui) each 2.5 qian. For 100-day-old infants, add 1 qian 1 zi; for 200-day-old infants, add 2.5 qian; for 1-year-old infants, add 0.5 liang. Adjust other herbs accordingly.
*Shenghui Fang* Gancao Powder: Treats pediatric Zhu infection, presenting with white-red complexion turning blue like drunkenness, recurring facial redness. If blue-black color surrounds the mouth, it is untreatable. Late detection leads to death; early detection means pathogenic Qi has not entered the Zang-Fu organs, and mild breastfeeding support allows administration of this formula.
