小儿癖疾,起初表现为午后潮热,口渴且喜饮冷水,腹部胀大可见青筋暴露,逐渐发展为腹部坚硬并形成肿块,不时出现疼痛。古代医法主张内外兼治:内服千金消癖丸(配方如芦荟、阿魏另制成糊状;青黛、木香、厚朴、槟榔、陈皮、生甘草各一钱,使君子肉、胡黄连、山楂肉、醋炒香附、三棱、莪术各二钱,水红花子、炒神曲、炒麦芽各四钱,人参、土炒白术、茯苓各三钱,共研为细末。取阿魏一钱,用白水调面打成糊作为粘合剂,制成绿豆大小的药丸)。用米汤送服,根据患儿年龄大小调整剂量。
外贴红花膏(配方如没药五钱,血竭、麝香、阿魏各三钱,当归、赤芍各一钱,水红花料一捆,煎汁去渣后熬成一碗膏,将以上六味药材共研为细末,加入膏中搅匀,用青布摊涂贴在患处)。
若患儿没有发热和口渴症状,古法主张先用木香丸(配方如木香、蓬莪术、缩砂仁、青皮、朱砂各二钱,共研为细末,混合均匀,用飞白面粉糊调和制成麻子大小的药丸)。每次服用二三丸。若是乳食损伤所致,即用乳汁送服;若是饮食积滞损伤所致,即以所伤食物的汤汁送服。
〔真按〕小儿癖疾,多因饮食无节制,导致肠胃填满,浊液外溢,又感受寒气凝结而成。或因血膜化为水湿,日久则癖块结于胁旁,时时作痛,时常出现潮热,或寒热往来类似疟疾的症状。大抵患有癖疾的患儿,虚证居多,攻下类药物不可常用。对于体质虚弱者,仅使用西党参、炒白术、正广陈皮、白云苓、乳蒸杭青皮(醋炒)、川厚朴(姜制)、小枳实(酒炒)、法半夏、西砂仁(酒炒)、六神曲(炒)、陈麦芽(炒)各二钱,炙九肋鳖甲三钱,京三棱(煨)一钱,共研为细末,早晨用米粉调和制成药丸,每次服用一二钱。根据患儿年龄大小,用米汤吞服,以癖疾消除为度。
对于体质壮实者,可使用代赭石,经火煅烧后醋淬至酥松状态,研磨成末并用水飞法处理;杭青皮(醋炒)、蓬莪术(煨炒)、南木香(锉成屑)、青化桂各三钱,巴豆霜(去油极净取霜)一钱,川大黄二钱,共研为细末,用醋煮面糊制成药丸,大小如萝卜子,每次服用五丸,用淡姜汤送下。外部可兼贴红花膏以减轻症状。依照此法制方即可。
Pediatric Pi Disease (abdominal mass due to food stagnation and qi/blood stasis) initially presents with tidal fever in the afternoon, thirst with a preference for cold drinks, abdominal distension with visible subcutaneous veins, gradually progressing to hardness and mass formation, accompanied by intermittent pain. Ancient methods advocate combined internal and external treatment: Internally, administer Qianjin Xiao Pi Wan (Thousand-Gold Pill for Dissolving Masses). Formula ingredients include Lu Hui (Aloe), A Wei (Ferula resin) prepared separately into a paste; Qing Dai (Indigo Naturalis), Mu Xiang (Vladimiria Root), Hou Po (Magnolia Bark), Bing Lang (Areca Seed), Chen Pi (Citrus Peel), Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Licorice Root) each 1 qian; Shi Jun Zi Rou (Seed of Quisqualis), Hu Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome), Shan Zha Rou (Hawthorn Flesh), Cu Chao Xiang Fu (Cyperi Rhizome stir-fried with vinegar), San Leng (Sparganium Rhizome), E Zhu (Curcuma Rhizome) each 2 qian; Shui Hong Hua Zi (Polygoni Multiflori Caulis Seed), Chao Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven stir-fried), Chao Mai Ya (Malt stir-fried) each 4 qian; Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), Tu Chao Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome stir-fried with earth), Fu Ling (Poria) each 3 qian. All are ground into fine powder. Take 1 qian of A Wei, mix with water and wheat flour to make a paste as binder, form pills the size of mung beans. Administer with rice water, dosage adjusted according to the child's age.
Externally, apply Hong Hua Gao (Red Flower Ointment). Formula ingredients include Mo Yao (Myrrh) 5 qian, Xue Jie (Dragon's Blood), She Xiang (Musk), A Wei (Ferula resin) each 3 qian, Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Chi Shao (Red Peony Root) each 1 qian, Shui Hong Hua material one bundle. Decoct the material, remove dregs, and boil down to one bowl of ointment. Grind the above six herbs into fine powder, mix into the ointment evenly, spread on blue cloth, and apply to the affected area.
If there is no fever or thirst, ancient methods advise first using Mu Xiang Wan (Aucklandia Pill). Formula ingredients include Mu Xiang (Vladimiria Root), Peng E Zhu (Curcuma Phaeocaulis Rhizome), Suo Sha Ren (Amomum Fruit), Qing Pi (Immature Bitter Orange Peel), Zhu Sha (Cinnabar) each 2 qian. Grind into fine powder, mix uniformly, bind with refined white flour paste, form pills the size of hemp seeds. Take 2-3 pills per dose. If caused by breast milk injury, administer with breast milk; if caused by food injury, administer with decoction of the ingested food.
[Commentary] Pediatric Pi disease is mostly caused by irregular diet leading to fullness in the intestines and stomach, overflow of turbid fluids, and subsequent condensation due to cold pathogen invasion. Alternatively, it may result from blood membranes transforming into water retention, which over time forms masses beside the hypochondrium, causing intermittent pain, tidal fever, or alternating chills and fever resembling malaria. Generally, children with Pi disease are predominantly deficient in constitution; purgative drugs should not be used frequently. For those with weak constitutions, use Xi Dang Shen (Codonopsis Root), Chao Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome stir-fried), Zheng Guang Pi (Tangerine Peel from Zhejiang), Bai Yun Ling (Poria), Ru Zheng Hang Qing Pi (Cyperi Rhizome steamed and stir-fried with vinegar), Chuan Hou Po (Magnolia Bark processed with ginger juice), Xiao Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange Fruit stir-fried with wine), Fa Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber processed), Xi Sha Ren (Amomum Fruit stir-fried with wine), Liu Shen Qu (Medicated Leaven stir-fried), Chen Mai Ya (Malt stir-fried) each 2 qian, Zhi Jiu Lei Bie Jia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum honey-roasted) 3 qian, Jing San Leng (Sparganium Rhizome roasted) 1 qian. Grind into fine powder, bind with morning rice flour paste to form pills. Take 1-2 qian per dose. Swallow with rice water according to the child's age, until the mass resolves.
For those with robust constitutions, use Dai Zhe Shi (Limonitum), calcined in fire and quenched in vinegar until brittle, ground into powder and washed with water (water-floating method); Hang Qing Pi (Cyperi Rhizome stir-fried with vinegar), Peng E Zhu (Curcuma Phaeocaulis Rhizome roasted and stir-fried), Nan Mu Xiang (Vladimiria Root shaved into flakes), Qing Hua Gui (Cassia Twig) each 3 qian, Ba Dou Shuang (Croton Seed Frost, oil removed completely) 1 qian, Chuan Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) 2 qian. Grind into fine powder, bind with vinegar-boiled flour paste to form pills the size of radish seeds. Take 5 pills per dose, send down with light ginger soup. Externally, can combine application of Hong Hua Gao to alleviate symptoms. Follow this method for prescription.
