Whenever a newborn infant presents with generalized yellowish swelling resembling bile, closed eyes, moaning, and abdominal distension, it is due to the mother having taken excessive cold-cooling and purgative drugs during pregnancy. (From *Jinnang*)
When a newborn infant suffers from nasal congestion preventing breastfeeding. (From *Dejiu*)
*Zyzygium armatum* fruit (Soyajiao) and *Aconitum carmichaelii* root lateralis preparata (Caowu), in equal parts.
Grind into fine powder, mix with scallion juice to form a paste, apply to the fontanelle to restore patency.
Another prescription: Brown sugar, *Artemisia argyi* herb (Qiai), and *Moschus* (Shexiang), pound together evenly, warm over boiling water, apply to the fontanelle, cover with paper, and patency will be restored after one night.
Another prescription: Take one stalk of green onion with roots, place in a bowl, pour boiling water over it, cover with a small bowl. Hold the infant on the bed, lower the mosquito net, and fumigate the infant's nostrils with the bowl; patency will be restored when sweat appears on the forehead.
Newborn nasal congestion preventing breastfeeding.
*Ghee* (Tihu, three he) *Lindera aggregata* root (Qingmuxiang) and *Lingnania fragrans* twig (Linglingxiang), each four fen.
Decoct these three herbs into a paste, take a small amount, roll into pills, and insert into the nose; or apply the paste to the fontanelle, wash off with warm water once airflow is restored.
Another prescription
*Tetrapanax papyrifer* stem (Tongcao) and *Asarum heterotropoides* var. mandshuricum root (Beixixin), each one liang.
Grind into fine powder, wrap in cotton like a jujube pit, shape the medicine like a bean, place on the cotton tip, and insert into the nostril twice a day to restore patency.
For newborn infants with anal atresia (Gu Dao), there is a type where an internal membrane blocks the passage, preventing meconium discharge; if opened, the natural discharge of meconium allows survival.
There is another type where the anus has skin growth but no opening, which is critical; using a golden knife to incise it allows meconium discharge, and survival is possible. Early detection is essential for rescue; if delayed, presenting with chest and abdominal distension, cyanotic-white complexion, and inability to suck milk, it is incurable. (Added content)
Once, an infant had a septum inside the anus; when stools were loose, they did not cry, but when stools were dry, they cried out in pain, with a purple-swollen face, straining to pass stool as if split by a knife. At age three or four, a physician used a golden knife to cut open the septum, stopped bleeding with black medicine, and the infant recovered completely within a few days. (Added content.)
*Jianbian Fang* states: This is referred to as "Mwen Qi Sheng" (stifled umbilical birth), where a membrane covers the infant's anus at birth, blocking qi and preventing crying. Patting breaks the membrane, allowing crying. It is convenient to use a deft woman to gently puncture it with the foot of a silver hairpin. If puncturing is not possible, urgently wrap tightly in warm clothes to prevent heat loss, soak the placenta in hot water, and add fire heat in cold weather. After a while, internal heat pressure will naturally break the membrane, sound will emerge, and the infant will revive.
