Early consumption of milk, rice, or meat by infants, or the accumulation of sweet and greasy foods in the intestines and stomach, can transform into Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm). Symptoms include furrowing brows, frequent crying, vomiting clear froth, abdominal pain, abdominal distension with visible subcutaneous veins, purplish-black lips and mouth, head shaking, and itching teeth. The *Yujue Ge* states: "Crying miserably with green phlegm indicates roundworm biting the heart; excessive saliva due to cold accumulation causes unbearable pain. Frequent consumption of sweets and seasonal fruits deepens the parasitic disease." First, use *Shijunzi San* (Quince Seed Powder) or *Luhui Wan* (Aloe Pill) to expel roundworms, then warm the spleen and stomach.
