〔钱〕腹胀，由脾胃虚气攻作也，实者闷乱喘满，可下之，用紫霜丸、白饼子（此言未下而喘者，为实，
故可下，若误下而喘者，为虚气附肺，不可下也。紫霜丸、白饼子二方见癖）。不喘者，虚也，不可下，若误下
之，则脾虚气上，附肺而行。肺与脾子母皆虚，肺主目胞、腮之类，脾主四肢，母气虚甚，即目胞腮肿，
四肢黄色。治之用塌气丸渐消之，未愈，渐加丸数，不可以丁香、木香、橘皮、豆蔻大温散药治之，何以然？
脾虚气未出，故虽腹胀而不喘，可以温散药治之，使上下分消其气，则愈矣。若气虚已出，附肺而行，即脾胃内
弱，每生虚气入于四肢面目矣，小儿易为虚实，脾虚则不受寒温，服寒则生冷，服温则生热，当识此勿误
也。胃久虚热，多生疸病，或引饮不止。脾
虚不能胜肾，随肺气上行于四肢而目肿若水状，肾气漫浮于肺，即大喘也。此当用塌气丸，病愈后面未红者，虚衰未
复故也（此下后喘，故宜塌气丸，若未下而喘，宜下之）。治腹胀者，譬如行兵战冠于林，寇未出林，以兵攻
之，必可获，寇若出林，不可急攻，攻则必有失，当以意渐收之，即顺也（寇未出林，谓虚气未出而不喘，不目胞腮
肿，故可用丁香、木香大温散药上下分消其气而愈也，寇已出林，谓虚气已出，为喘、为目腮肿，须用塌气九渐消之）。
治小儿虚腹胀，先服塌气丸，不愈，腹中有食积结粪，小便黄，时微喘，脉伏而实，时饮水能食者，可下之。
盖脾初虚而后有积，所治宜先补脾，然后下之，后又补脾，即愈也。不可补肺，恐生虚喘。
〔洁古〕腹胀虚实凡久病吐泻之后，虚则其脉微细，肺主目胞及腮，脾主四肢，若色淡黄，目胞腮虚肿，手足

*Zhuang's Family Collection*: For infants who cannot yet speak and whose crying cannot be distinguished, one should palpate the abdomen with the hand. If there is a solid or hard area, it indicates abdominal pain (Abdominal Pain). The treatment method is to crush fresh ginger (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) and extract the juice, warm it until lukewarm, mix with flour to form a paste, apply it on paper, and stick it to the center of the umbilicus (Shenque, CV8); the pain will stop immediately.
[Qian Yi] Abdominal distension (Abdominal Distension) arises from deficiency of the Spleen and Stomach with Qi attacking and flaring up. In excess patterns, there is chest oppression, restlessness, wheezing, and fullness; purgation can be used, employing Zishuang Wan (Purple Frost Pill) or Baibing Zi (White Cake Pill) (This refers to wheezing present before purgation, indicating an excess pattern, thus purgation is suitable; if wheezing occurs after mistaken purgation, it indicates deficient Qi attaching to the Lung, and purgation is contraindicated. See "Pi" section for formulas). If there is no wheezing, it is a deficiency pattern, and purgation is contraindicated. Mistaken purgation causes Spleen Qi to become deficient and ascend, attaching to the Lung. Since the Lung and Spleen are in a mother-son relationship, both become deficient. The Lung governs the eyelids and cheeks, while the Spleen governs the four limbs. When maternal Qi (Spleen Qi) is severely deficient, swelling of the eyelids and cheeks occurs, and the limbs turn yellow. Treatment involves using Taqi Wan (Collapse Qi Pill) to gradually resolve the condition. If not cured, gradually increase the dosage. Do not use strongly warming and dispersing herbs such as Dingxiang (Caryophylli Flos), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Chuanpiao (Tangerine Peel), and Doukou (Cardamomi Fructus). Why? Because Spleen Qi is deficient but has not yet escaped outward; thus, although there is abdominal distension, there is no wheezing. In this case, warming and dispersing herbs can be used to distribute and eliminate Qi from above and below, leading to recovery. However, if Qi deficiency has already escaped outward and attached to the Lung, meaning internal Spleen and Stomach weakness generates deficient Qi entering the limbs and face, infants are prone to mixed deficiency and excess. Spleen deficiency cannot tolerate cold or heat; administering cold herbs generates cold, while administering warm herbs generates heat. One must recognize this to avoid errors. Long-term Stomach deficiency with heat often leads to jaundice (Jaundice) or excessive thirst. Spleen deficiency fails to control the Kidney; following Lung Qi upward to the limbs causes eyelid swelling resembling water retention. Kidney Qi floats diffusely into the Lung, causing severe wheezing. This requires Taqi Wan. If the face remains pale after recovery, it indicates that deficiency and decline have not yet restored (This refers to wheezing after purgation, hence Taqi Wan is appropriate; if wheezing precedes purgation, purgation is indicated). Treating abdominal distension is like warfare in a forest: if the enemy has not left the forest, attacking them yields victory; if they have emerged, do not attack hastily, for attack may lead to loss. One should gradually subdue them with strategy, which is顺应 (following the natural course) (Enemy not out of forest: deficient Qi has not escaped, no wheezing or facial swelling, so warming/dispersing herbs can be used; Enemy out of forest: deficient Qi has escaped, presenting as wheezing or facial swelling, requiring Taqi Wan to gradually resolve). For pediatric deficiency-type abdominal distension, first administer Taqi Wan. If unresolved, and there is food accumulation and fecal impaction in the abdomen, yellow urine, occasional mild wheezing, deep and solid pulse, occasional desire to drink and eat, purgation may be used. Since the Spleen was initially deficient and then developed accumulation, treatment should first tonify the Spleen, then purge, then tonify the Spleen again for recovery. Do not tonify the Lung, lest it generate deficient wheezing.
[Jiegu (Li Dongyuan)] Regarding excess and deficiency in abdominal distension, especially after prolonged vomiting and diarrhea: deficiency presents with a faint and fine pulse. The Lung governs the eyelids and cheeks; the Spleen governs the limbs. If the complexion is pale yellow, eyelids and cheeks are vacuously swollen, and hands and feet are cold, first administer Taqi Wan, followed by Yigong San (Heterogeneous Powder), Hezhong Wan (Harmonize Middle Pill), Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction), or Yihuang San (Yellow-Protecting Powder), using various warming herbs to nourish True Qi (See "Vomiting and Diarrhea" for these three formulas). Excess presents with a surging and solid pulse, not necessarily following prolonged vomiting/diarrhea or dysentery. With abdominal distension, rapid wheezing, chest oppression, restlessness, phlegm, heat, and undigested food causing distension, administer Baibing Zi, Dahuang Wan (Rhubarb Pill), or Jiedu Wan (Detoxification Pill) to purge. Carefully distinguish urinary and bowel status; if neither is unobstructed, promote urination first, then bowel movement (See "Pi" for Baibing Zi, "Sore Throat" for Jiedu Wan, "Cold Damage" for Dahuang Wan). Yunqi stated: For children with internal heat binding, abdominal distension, high fever, red-yellow stool, and restless agitation, Xieqing Wan (Drain Green Pill) is suitable.
[Xue Ji] Dongyuan stated: Cold distension is common; heat distension is rare. Both are governed by the Spleen and Stomach. Deficiency patterns suit Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction). If wheezing and shortness of breath occur, indicating Spleen-Lung Qi deficiency, use Yigong San to tonify. If purgative or harsh drugs worsen wheezing and distension, it indicates further injury to Spleen-Lung Qi; add Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) and Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) to the previous formula. If purged without subsequent wheezing, pathogenic factors are expelled and Lung Qi is calm; no medication is needed. If long-standing illness causes oliguria or limb edema, it indicates Spleen-Lung Qi deficiency failing to regulate water passages; use Jin Gui Ji Jian Shenqi Wan (Modified Kidney Qi Pill from Golden Cabinet) as the main treatment. If hands and feet are cold and eyes open during sleep, it indicates Spleen-Stomach deficiency-cold; use Liujunzi Tang plus Paojiang (Prepared Ginger). If hands and feet are not cold but eyes open during sleep, it indicates Spleen-Stomach weakness; use Liujunzi Tang. If the complexion is green, Wood overacts on Earth; use Liujunzi Tang, Muxiang, and Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix). Additionally, regulate the nursing mother's diet to prevent excessive medication from damaging Stomach Qi. A child with abdominal distension, red face, phlegm-wheezing, constipation, high fever, and craving cold drinks presented with both form and disease being excess. One dose of Zishuang Wan exacerbated symptoms, turning the face suddenly white with continuous desire for warm drinks. I reasoned that pathogenic factors receded but True Qi was injured, hence the white face and preference for warmth. Administered a large dose of Baizhu San (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Powder) decoction for free drinking; after some time sleeping, the child recovered fully the next day. A child with food-stagnation abdominal distension and chest fullness with phlegm was cured with Yigong San. Later, recurrent food stagnation caused distension and pain; purgation worsened pain and distension, adding wheezing. This indicated Spleen-Stomach injury leading to Lung deficiency. Cured with Liujunzi Tang plus Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix). A child with abdominal distension, aversion to food, fever, nausea, resembling exterior syndrome, was diagnosed with food stagnation. One dose of Baohe Wan (Preserve Harmony Pill) resolved most symptoms, leaving only distension, cured with Yigong San. A child with food-stagnation distension took harsh drugs, causing difficult urination; Wuling San (Five-Poria Powder) was added, reducing appetite but stopping urination and causing sudden limb edema. Morning administration of Jin Gui Shenqi Wan minus Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata), evening administration of Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment Qi Decoction) brought relief. A child with abdominal distension, blue-white stool, a mass on the left abdomen, sallow complexion, red/rotten gums, and poor intake with drooling was treated primarily with Yigong San to regulate Middle Qi, assisted by Dayuwanyi Tang (Great Wormwood Decoction) to clear malnutrition heat. After a month, symptoms improved slightly; continued Yigong San and Emawang Wan (Toad Pill), externally applied Awei Gao (Styrax Plaster). After two months, the mass disappeared, with slight left hypochondriac pain, cured with Sijunzi Tang and Jiwei Lvhui Wan (Nine-Ingredient Aloe Pill). *Baiwen* states: There are malnutrition distension, Qi distension, mass distension, locked-belly distension, epigastric distension, food-distension, roundworm distension, and deficiency-cold accumulation distension. For malnutrition-Qi accumulation distension, first use Baotong and Taqi to remove it. For pi-mass Qi distension and mass distension, use Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma) to dissipate masses. For locked-belly distension, use Zhenzhu Tianma Wan (Pearl Gastrodia Pill) to unblock. For upper epigastric food-injury distension, use Sanleng, Taqi, and Dajulian Wan (Large Zanthoxyli-Coptis Pill) to digest. For roundworm distension, use Xiachong Wan (Expel Worm Pill) to dissolve. For deficiency-cold accumulation distension, use Chenxiang Jian (Aquilaria Decoction) to warm. All these conditions require harmonizing Stomach Qi, digesting, and promoting unobstructed flow; swelling will surely subside. If heat is present, treat with Tingli (Descurainiae Semen) and Qianniu (Pharbitidis Semen); Tuiqi Wan (Push Qi Pill) is also usable.
Note: Although *Baiwen* categorizes syndromes in detail, it leans towards purgation. Without the flexible methods of Qian Yi and Zhang Huan, and the tonifying methods of Xue Ji, few cases avoid fatality. Be cautious.
