Pediatric malaria is caused by the wet nurse being exposed to wind pathogens during breastfeeding, or contracting summerheat-dampness, and is particularly often due to food retention. Medication must simultaneously address digestion and elimination, following the same treatment principles as for adults. At the initial stage (colloquially known as "fetal malaria"), one should first use herbs to disperse pathogens and release the exterior, followed by clearing and resolving both interior and exterior pathogenic factors, and differentiating and regulating Yin and Yang. If symptoms manifest in the Yin aspect during the afternoon or night, add Yin-nourishing herbs to guide the pathogen back to the Yang aspect, allowing it to gradually subside and stop naturally, thereby preventing sequelae. If antimalarial herbs are used abruptly to forcibly arrest the fever, it will lead to abdominal distension and various other complications with unpredictable consequences. If mild abdominal distension appears, continue using dispersing herbs, and administer Shenyu Wan (see Phlegm section) 2-3 fen to induce mild purgation.
Main Formula (Initial Stage): Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), Qiang Huo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Tuber), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Zi Su (Perillae Folium) (each 6 fen), Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (each 3 fen). Add three slices of fresh ginger and two scallion heads to the above, decoct in water, and take hot. Aim for a mild sweat extending to the feet. If there is food retention, add Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus) and Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus).
After sweating, if heat predominates, use Qing Pi Yin (Clear the Spleen Decoction) with added Zhu Ling (Polyporus) and Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma). If cold predominates, use Yang Wei Tang (Nourish the Stomach Decoction) (see Adult Malaria section).
When the skin and face are yellow, it is termed Huang Bing (Yellow Disease). When the entire body, face, eyes, and nails are yellow, accompanied by difficult urination and defecation, urine resembling the color of house dust, and staining clothes like dyed fabric, it is termed Huang Dan (Jaundice). In infants aged one hundred days or half a year, slight yellowing of the body indicates Stomach Heat, with a typically deep pulse.
Main Formula: Shan Yin Chen (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba), Zhi Zi Ren (Gardeniae Semen), Chuan Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (equal parts). Take three doses per day. The condition will stabilize when the urine becomes red like soap pod juice.
Another Formula (To be taken after the previous formula reduces symptoms by half): Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Zhu Ling (Polyporus), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Yin Chen (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), Zhi Zi (Gardeniae Fructus) (equal parts). Decoct in water and take.
Yin swelling and hernia are often caused by living near damp places or sitting on stone and earth, leading to contraction of wind-cold-dampness, or internal damp-heat. Frequently sitting in cold places causes cold-dampness to coagulate; internal heat is constrained by external cold, and damp-heat struggles together, resulting in swelling and pain. It may also result from crying, shouting, or anger causing Qi stagnation and suppression that fails to dissipate, accumulating in the bladder sac, combined with obstruction of the water passages, thus forming this syndrome.
Main Formula: Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Zhu Ling (Polyporus), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) (equal parts), Guan Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex) (a small amount). Add fresh ginger, decoct in water, and take.
Another Formula: Powder Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) and Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex), mix with liquid and ingest.
Another Method: Grind Mu Li (Ostreae Concha) into an extremely fine powder, mix with saliva or egg white, and apply to the swollen area.
