Subsequently administered a Sophora flavescens decoction. Rinsed the mouth with three sheng daily. After five to six days, the illness was cured. The etiology was wind pathogen invasion, combined with sleeping with an open mouth and not rinsing after eating. See entry for "Dental Caries" for remaining content.

Yifeng (TE17): Treats trismus with inability to open the mouth. Heliao (SI18): Treats inability to open the mouth. As well as corpse-like coma. Infants within seven days of birth presenting with neonatal tetanus. Unable to suckle milk and crying excessively. This is due to exogenous wind invading the umbilicus. It flows along the meridians to the heart and spleen meridians. Causing tongue stiffness and lip spasms. Inability to suckle milk. For this new disease, prescribed formulas are not expected to be fully curative. Generally speaking, to dispel exogenous wind, there is no method superior to moxibustion on Chengjiang (CV24), 7 cones. Followed by moxibustion on Jiache (ST6), 2 cones each side.
