小儿心疳，证见面红目赤，壮热有汗，时时惊烦，切牙弄舌，口舌干燥，渴饮生疮，小便红赤，胸膈满闷，
睡喜伏卧，懒食干瘦，或吐或利诸病状，热盛者，古法主泻心导赤汤（如木通、生地、黄连、生甘草，引用灯芯）。
热盛生惊者，古法主珍珠散（如珍珠、麦冬、天竺黄、金箔、牛黄、胡黄连、生甘草、羚羊角、大黄、当归、
朱砂、雄黄、茯神、犀角，研为细末），以茵陈蒿汤调匀，冷服之。
病久心虚者，古法主茯神汤（如茯神、当归、人参、炙甘草，引用龙眼肉），煎服。烦渴者加麦冬。
〔真按〕心属火，色赤主血脉，故有壮热惊烦之现象，心与包络相连，心热，急防攻入包络，致生变端，珠
箔之镇坠，当归之辛散，均不相宜，所以热盛但用鲜竹叶十五片，细木通一钱，天竺黄二钱，生白芍八分，生甘
草梢三分，煎好，以羚羊尖磨汁二分冲服。
若病久心虚，方用太子参三钱，朱砂拌茯神钱半，熟地黄钱半，生白芍二钱，远志肉一钱，生甘草八分，酸
枣仁五分，引用石菖蒲三分， 龙齿钱半。
小儿疳渴，多因肥甘积热，煎耗脾胃，以致津液亏损，故不
时大渴引饮，心神烦热，古法主清热甘露饮（如生地黄、麦冬去心、石斛、生知母、蜜炙枇杷叶、 石膏、生甘
草、茵陈蒿、黄芩，引用灯芯）。
〔真按〕小儿恣食肥甘，伤津耗液，胃气下陷，故津液不生，治法固以生津为主，然不补其胃，则清阳不
得上升，何能生其津液，宜以补胃兼清积热为法，方用淡竹叶钱半，细生地二钱，金钗石斛钱半，原麦冬一钱，
制天冬一钱，西洋参一钱，生白术一钱，茯苓片二钱，粉葛根五分，生甘草五分，引用金银花露一两。
小儿心疳，症状表现为面色红赤、眼睛发红、高热且伴有汗出、时常惊悸烦躁、咬紧牙关并吐弄舌头、口舌干燥、因口渴饮水而生疮疡、小便颜色红赤、胸膈部位胀满憋闷、睡觉时喜欢趴着睡、食欲不振且身体消瘦，或者出现呕吐或腹泻等各种病症。若热势炽盛，古法主张使用泻心导赤汤（包含木通、生地黄、黄连、生甘草，煎药时加入灯芯草作为引经药）。若因热盛而引发惊风，古法主张使用珍珠散（包含珍珠、麦冬、天竺黄、金箔、牛黄、胡黄连、生甘草、羚羊角、大黄、当归、朱砂、雄黄、茯神、犀角，研磨成细末），用茵陈蒿汤调匀后，冷服。若病程日久导致心气虚弱，古法主张使用茯神汤（包含茯神、当归、人参、炙甘草，煎药时加入龙眼肉作为引经药），煎煮后服用。若有烦渴症状，可加用麦冬。
〔真按〕心在五行中属火，其色为赤，主司血脉，因此会出现高热、惊悸烦躁的现象。心与心包络相互连接，心热之时，急需防止病邪攻入心包络，从而产生变证。珍珠散的镇坠作用以及当归的辛散作用，在此情况下均不适宜。因此，对于热盛的情况，仅使用鲜竹叶十五片、细木通一钱、天竺黄二钱、生白芍八分、生甘草梢三分，煎好药汁后，用羚羊尖磨成的汁液二分冲服。
如果病程日久导致心虚，方剂选用太子参三钱、朱砂拌茯神钱半、熟地黄钱半、生白芍二钱、远志肉一钱、生甘草八分、酸枣仁五分，引用石菖蒲三分、龙齿钱半。
小儿疳渴，多是因为过食肥甘厚味导致积热，煎熬耗伤脾胃，致使津液亏损，所以不时感到大渴而大量饮水，伴有心神烦热。古法主张使用清热甘露饮（包含生地黄、去心的麦冬、石斛、生知母、蜜炙枇杷叶、石膏、生甘草、茵陈蒿、黄芩，煎药时加入灯芯草作为引经药）。
〔真按〕小儿恣意食用肥甘食物，损伤津液，耗损体液，导致胃气下陷，因此津液无法生成。治疗方法固然以生津为主，但是如果不补益胃气，清阳之气就无法上升，又怎能生成津液呢？因此，应当采用补益胃气兼清积热的方法。方剂选用淡竹叶钱半、细生地二钱、金钗石斛钱半、原麦冬一钱、制天冬一钱、西洋参一钱、生白术一钱、茯苓片二钱、粉葛根五分、生甘草五分，引用金银花露一两。
Pediatric Heart Gan (Gan Syndrome of the Heart) presents with symptoms such as a red face and red eyes, high fever with sweating, frequent palpitations and irritability, teeth grinding and tongue protrusion, dry mouth and tongue, sores caused by thirst-driven drinking, red and dark urine, chest and diaphragm fullness and oppression, a preference for sleeping in a prone position, loss of appetite leading to emaciation, or various conditions such as vomiting or diarrhea. When heat is excessive, ancient methods primarily prescribe Xie Xin Dao Chi Tang (Drain Heart and Guide Out Red Decoction), containing Tong Cao (Akebia Caulis), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Recens), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), and Sheng Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Recens), with Deng Xin Cao (Junci Medulla) used as an guiding herb. If heat excess generates fright (convulsions), ancient methods primarily prescribe Zhen Zhu San (Pearl Powder), composed of Zhen Zhu (Margarita), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Tian Zhu Huang (Calami Tuber), Jin Bo (Folium Aurum), Niu Huang (Bovis Calculus), Hu Huang Lian (Scutellariae Barbatae Radix), Sheng Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Recens), Ling Yang Jiao (Capris Cornu), Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Zhu Sha (Cinnabaris), Xiong Huang (Realgar), Fu Shen (Poria cum Radice), and Xi Jiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu), ground into a fine powder. This should be mixed evenly with Yin Chen Hao Tang (Artemisiae Scopariae Decoction) and taken cold. For prolonged illness resulting in Heart deficiency, ancient methods primarily prescribe Fu Shen Tang (Poria Decoction), containing Fu Shen (Poria cum Radice), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), and Zhi Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparata), with Long Yan Rou (Longan Aril) used as a guiding herb, decocted and taken orally. For symptoms of irritability and thirst, add Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix).
[Author's Note] The Heart belongs to Fire, its color is red, and it governs the blood vessels; thus, phenomena such as high fever and frightful irritability occur. The Heart is connected to the Pericardium (Xin Bao Luo). When the Heart is hot, one must urgently prevent the pathogen from invading the Pericardium, which could lead to complications. The sedative/heavy nature of Pearl Powder and the acrid/dispersing nature of Dang Gui are both unsuitable in this context. Therefore, for excessive heat, only use fifteen fresh leaves of Ye Zhu (Bambusa Textilis Folium), one qian of Xi Mu Tong (Akebiae Caulis), two qian of Tian Zhu Huang (Calami Tuber), eight fen of Sheng Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba Recens), and three fen of Sheng Gan Cao Shao (the tip of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Recens). After decoction, mix with two fen of juice ground from Ling Yang Jian (the tip of Capris Cornu) and take orally.
If the illness has been prolonged causing Heart deficiency, the formula uses San Zi Shen (Pseudostellariae Radix) three qian, Zhu Sha Ban Fu Shen (Poria coated with Cinnabaris) half a qian, Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) half a qian, Sheng Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba Recens) two qian, Yuan Zhi Rou (Polygalae Radix Flesh) one qian, Sheng Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Recens) eight fen, Suan Zao Ren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen) five fen, with Shi Chang Pu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma) three fen and Long Chi (Dent Draconis Os) half a qian used as guiding herbs.
Pediatric Gan Thirst often arises from the accumulation of heat due to excessive consumption of rich and sweet foods, which scorch and consume the Spleen and Stomach, leading to a depletion of body fluids. Consequently, there is frequent intense thirst requiring large amounts of water intake, accompanied by mental irritability and heat. Ancient methods primarily prescribe Qing Re Gan Lu Yin (Clear Heat and Generate Fluids Decoction), containing Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Recens), Mai Dong Qu Xin (Ophiopogonis Radix decored of heart), Shi Hu (Dendrobii Caulis), Sheng Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma Recens), Mi Zhi Pi Pa Ye (Loquat Leaf prepared with honey), Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Sheng Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Recens), Yin Chen Hao (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba), and Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), with Deng Xin Cao (Junci Medulla) used as a guiding herb.
[Author's Note] Children who indulge in rich and sweet foods damage their fluids and consume their essence, causing Stomach Qi to sink downward, thereby preventing the generation of body fluids. Although the treatment method must focus on generating fluids, if the Stomach is not tonified, the Clear Yang cannot ascend, and how can fluids be generated? Therefore, the method should involve tonifying the Stomach while simultaneously clearing accumulated heat. The formula uses Dan Zhu Ye (Lophatheri Herba) half a qian, Xi Sheng Di (Rehmanniae Radix Recens) two qian, Jin Cha Shi Hu (Dendrobii Nobile Caulis) half a qian, Yuan Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix) one qian, Zhi Tian Dong (Asparagi Radix preparata) one qian, Xi Yang Shen (Panacis Quinquefolii Radix) one qian, Sheng Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma Recens) one qian, Fu Ling Pian (Poria Slice) two qian, Fen Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) five fen, and Sheng Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Recens) five fen, with Yin Jin Hua Lu (Silver Flower Dew) one liang used as a guiding herb.
