Chuekou (Mouth Contraction) is characterized by the lips contracting and closing tightly, a bluish-yellow complexion, absence of crying sound, rapid breathing, and foaming at the mouth. It is suitable to use Zisu (Perilla Leaf), Qianhu (Peucedani Radix), and Jiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus), each 5 qian, decocted in water and taken frequently. The treatment should continue until the mouth opens. After the mouth opens, do not allow the infant to suckle immediately. Alternatively, use Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Congbai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus), Bailuobozi (Raphani Semen), and Tianluorou (Cipangopaludis Carnum), pound them together into a paste, apply it around the navel with a width of one finger, and secure it with a cloth bandage. Recovery occurs after the passage of flatus and stool.

Infants have insufficient Qi and Blood, and their Couli (pores and skin texture) are not dense, making them most susceptible to Wind-Cold pathogens. If fever is initially perceived, medication is not necessary; instead, during deep sleep, cover the head loosely with a single quilt in summer or a cotton quilt in winter, ensuring the nose is not obstructed. Maintain a slightly warm temperature so that inhalation and exhalation pass through this warm air. After a short while, slight sweating will occur. Ensure the sweat penetrates slightly throughout the body, allowing the exterior and interior to communicate freely, whereupon the heat will naturally subside. If coldness due to lack of clothing or bedding prevents sweating, gently hold the infant close to the body and cover the face from above; sweating will invariably follow. This is an excellent method. If the Cold pathogen is severe, applying the mild sweating method two or three times will ensure recovery. Performing this method during Yin-Mao hours (3:00-7:00 AM) facilitates easier sweating and faster efficacy. However, after sweating, the risk of catching Wind increases, so careful protection is essential; do not neglect care simply because sweating has occurred. For infants suffering from Wind-induced nasal congestion, inability to suckle, and weak constitution who are unsuitable for dispersing methods, use Datian Nanxing (Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum) ground into powder, mixed with fresh juice of Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) to form a paste, and apply it to the Ximen (fontanelle). Recovery follows. Alternatively, Cao Wu (Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix) and Zhao Jia (Gleditsiae Fructus) ground into powder, mixed with Congzhi (Allii Fistulosi Juice) to form a paste, applied to the fontanelle, is also effective.

Cold-induced vomiting and diarrhea in infants, if not treated early, will inevitably develop into Man Jing Feng (Slow Convulsion Syndrome). It is suitable to use Xiaodingxiang (Caryophylli Flos) and Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), each 5 fen, decocted in water and taken orally. Alternatively, use Baidoukou (Amomi Fructus Rotundus), Sharen (Amomi Fructus), seven grains each, plus Sheng Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and Zhi Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparatum), each 1 qian, ground into powder. Frequently sprinkle this powder into the infant's mouth to stop symptoms. If milk is vomited directly without retention, use Chao Maiya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus) 2 qian, Juhong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum) 1 qian, and Dingxiang (Caryophylli Flos) 3 fen, decocted in water and taken orally.

Vomiting and refusal to suckle in newborns are caused by foul substances entering the mouth, leading to Heat invading the Heart. When the Heart receives Heat, it scatters and flows into the Stomach. Damp-Heat clashing together causes vomiting. It is suitable to use Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), and Chi Fuling (Poria cum Risus Roseus), equal parts, ground into powder. Form pills the size of wutong seeds using honey. Dissolve one pill in breast milk and administer orally to stop vomiting. Alternatively, use Mugua (Chaenomelis Fructus) and Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), equal parts, decocted in water and taken orally, which is also effective.
