身强，晴邪目闭，多啼不乳，频愈频发者是也。然与胎惊名异而实类，治法并宜参看。

在街巷中行走，会导致孩子绝后无子。让孩子站在门户正前方，会导致孩子声音发不出且耳聋。让孩子靠近流动的水边，会导致孩子患青盲（视力丧失）。让孩子处于火堆之中，会导致孩子生出溃烂疮疡。让孩子接触林木枯枝，会导致孩子身体自发性抽搐痉挛。像这样的禁忌，都应当知晓并熟悉。
胎痫，是因为胎儿在母体内受到惊吓，或者因摄入毒素所感致，其表现为身体发热、面色发青、手足抽搐掣动、牙齿紧急咬合、腰部挺直、身体僵硬、眼球斜视或闭合、多啼哭而不吃奶、频繁发作的是这种病证。然而它与胎惊名称不同但实质相似，治疗方法应当参考查看。
取头尾完整的蝎子四十九个，去除毒性，每个蝎子用一片生鲜薄荷叶包裹，用丝线捆扎固定，在火上焙干，研磨成粉末，加入少许朱砂和麝香粉末，用蜂蜜制成梧桐子大小的丸药，用钩藤煎煮的汤剂送服，研化后在饭后服用。
胎惊，是婴儿在胎中时，其母亲调理失常，饮酒纵欲，或者愤怒惊恐心悸，损伤了心脏。心主血脉，反应于胎儿，降生之后，孩子必然精神不振，面色虚白，起初有温热感，后来脸颊发红且易受惊，物体移动即恐惧，声响即心悸，咬牙腮红，四肢拘挛，时常抽搐烦闷，一啼哭就气绝，遍身皆紫，时而厥冷，或者印堂部位发青，壮热不吃奶，睡梦中多惊，手足轻微抽搐，十指如计数般抽动，身体强直，眼睛多上翻，拳头紧握且眼珠翻转，面色青而惊啼，涎潮呕吐，囟门开大腮部收缩，口吐涎沫，牙关紧闭口唇撮聚，脐腹部肿突，额头显现青筋，面部肿胀腹胀，发出鸦叫声及蛇眼状表现，目色碧蓝或眼睑闭合。然而这些症状属于恶候，极难疗愈，所以知道既有胎惊便应尽早治疗。如果发展到已成风候，形势难以疗愈，何况小儿血脉柔弱，难以承受重剂药物。如果目间红赤鲜碧色的，可治。黯黑青碧色的必危，虎口指纹弯曲向内入里的，可治。反出向外，三关通度的，如果印堂浮紫，痰涎味沫，抽搐搦动不时的，都是恶候。更有头面生疖，大如拳头的，这名叫惊气，必须破溃它而后愈合它，不要敷用毒药，否则坏肌伤体，毒溃深而危害更甚。如果脚上生疮，如烂穴者溃烂，知道孩子寿命不满五年。
Walking in streets and alleys may cause the child to be sterile. Standing directly in front of a door may cause the child's voice to fail and deafness. Being near flowing water may cause the child to suffer from Qingmang (blindness). Being placed near fire may cause the child to develop ulcerative sores. Contact with forest wood may cause the child to experience spontaneous convulsions. Such taboos should all be known and understood.
Fetal Epilepsy (Tai Xian) is caused by fright received in the womb or by exposure to toxins. Its manifestations include fever, cyanotic complexion, spasms of the hands and feet, tight jaw closure, rigid trunk, strabismus or closed eyes, excessive crying with refusal to nurse, and frequent recurrences. Although its name differs from Fetal Fright (Tai Jing), its nature is similar; treatment methods should be consulted together.
Take 49 whole scorpions (including head and tail), remove their toxicity, wrap each in one fresh mint leaf (Bohe Ye), bind firmly with silk, bake dry over fire, and grind into powder. Add a small amount of Cinnabar (Zhusha) and Musk (Shexiang) powder. Form pills the size of tung seeds using honey. Administer by dissolving in Hook Vine (Gouteng) decoction after meals.
Fetal Fright (Tai Jing) occurs when the mother's regulation during pregnancy is abnormal, such as drinking alcohol, indulging desires, or experiencing anger, fright, and palpitations, which damage the Heart. The Heart governs blood vessels and responds to the fetus. After birth, the infant will likely exhibit poor spirit, pale complexion, initial warmth followed by flushed cheeks and susceptibility to fright, fear at movement, palpitations at noise, teeth grinding with red cheeks, limb contractures, frequent convulsions and irritability, breath-holding spells turning the body purple, occasional cold limbs, cyanosis at the Yintang area, high fever with refusal to nurse, startle during sleep, slight twitching of hands and feet, counting-like movements of ten fingers, rigid body, upward eye deviation, clenched fists with everted eyeballs, cyanotic face with frightened crying, salivary flooding and vomiting, open fontanelle with retracted cheeks, foaming at the mouth, trismus and puckered lips, umbilical and abdominal distension, visible blue veins on the forehead, facial swelling and abdominal distension, crow-like sounds, snake-eye appearance, and blueish eyes or closed eyelids. These are severe adverse prognoses and difficult to cure; therefore, early treatment is advised upon diagnosis. If it progresses to wind syndrome, it is difficult to treat, especially since infants have delicate blood vessels and cannot tolerate heavy doses. Reddish-blue eyes indicate a treatable condition; dark black-blue eyes indicate critical danger. Finger veins curving inward at the Tiger's Mouth (Hukou) point are treatable; those extending outward through the three segments are unfavorable. Floating purple color at Yintang, frothy saliva, and frequent convulsions are also adverse signs. Boils on the head and face, large as fists, named "Fright Qi," must be lanced to heal; do not apply toxic ointments, as this damages tissue and worsens the condition. Ulcerative sores on the feet resembling rotten holes indicate the child will not survive five years.
