〔汤〕《巢氏病源》鹅口候者，小儿初生，口里白屑，满舌上如鹅口，故曰鹅口。此乃胎热，而心脾最盛，
熏发于口也。治用发缠指头，蘸井花水揩拭之。睡时，黄丹 出火气，掺于舌上。（葛氏方。）如用前法，
其舌上白屑不脱，可煮栗 汁令浓，以绵缠指头拭之。若春夏无栗 子，可煮栗木皮，如用井花水法。
小儿初出腹，有连舌，下有膜如石榴子者，中隔连其舌下，后令儿言语不发，舌不转也。可以爪甲摘断之，
微有血出，无害。若血出不止，烧发灰敷之，即止。
〔田〕大人小儿，口噤不开，牙关紧者，诸药无效。天南星末一钱，脑子少许，相和研匀。用指蘸
生姜自然汁，蘸药于左右大牙根上擦之，立开。
〔丹〕初生口噤不开，不收乳。用赤脚蜈蚣，去足炙末，猪乳汁调下五分，三四服愈。
〔《圣》〕小儿生下七日口噤。牛黄些少，竹沥调下一字，以猪乳滴口中。
口噤搐鼻法。用郁金、藜芦、瓜蒂为末，水调搐之。
（口角垂涎是也）
〔肃〕清心导痰丸 治舌纵涎下。（方见大人门。曾用甚妙。）
〔汤〕小儿滞颐者，多涎流出，积于颐上，此由脾胃冷，涎多故也。脾之液为涎，缘脾胃虚冷，
不能制其津液，故流出于颐，法当补脾。（按《内经》云∶舌纵涎下皆属热。此恐汤氏之偏见，今
两存之，以备参考。）
张涣温脾丹 治滞颐效。
白术 青皮（各半两） 半夏曲 丁香（各一两） 干姜（炮，半两）
上为细末，糊丸如黍米大，一岁儿十丸，二岁二十丸，米饮下。
〔汤氏〕《诸病源候论》中关于鹅口的记载：小儿刚出生时，口腔内有白色碎屑，布满舌面，状如鹅口，因此称为“鹅口”。这是由于胎热所致，且心脾两经热势最盛，热气熏蒸于口部而发。治疗时用丝线缠绕手指，蘸取井花水（清晨汲取的井水）擦拭患处。睡眠时，将经过火制去毒的黄丹粉末撒在舌上。（出自《葛氏方》）。如果采用上述方法，舌上的白屑仍未脱落，可煮栗子汁使其浓稠，用棉布包裹手指进行擦拭。若在春夏季节没有栗子，可煮栗树的树皮，使用方法同井花水法。
小儿初离母腹时，有的存在“连舌”现象，舌下有一层薄膜如同石榴籽般连接着舌头下方，中间隔断并连系舌底，这会导致后来孩子言语不清、舌头转动不灵活。可以用指甲将其摘断，微微出血无妨。如果出血不止，可将头发烧成灰敷在伤口处，即可止血。
〔田氏〕大人或小儿出现口噤不开、牙关紧闭的情况，若各种药物无效，可用天南星末一钱，加入少许冰片，混合研磨均匀。用手指蘸取生姜自然汁，沾取药粉在左右大牙根上擦拭，立刻就能张开。
〔丹溪〕新生儿出生后面部口噤不开，无法吮吸乳汁。使用赤脚蜈蚣，去除足部后炙烤研末，用猪乳汁调服五分，服用三四次即可痊愈。
〔《太平圣惠方》〕小儿出生后七天出现口噤。取少量牛黄，用竹沥调服一字量，并用猪乳滴入口中。
口噤搐鼻法：用郁金、藜芦、瓜蒂研为细末，用水调匀后滴入鼻腔引起喷嚏以急救。
（此处指口角流涎的症状）
〔肃氏〕清心导痰丸 治疗舌体纵缓、口水直流。（该方见成人门。曾使用效果极佳。）
〔汤氏〕小儿患“滞颐”症，表现为口水多流出，积聚在下巴上，这是由于脾胃虚冷，导致涎液过多所致。脾的体液为涎，因为脾胃虚寒，不能制约津液，所以流出至下巴，治疗方法应当补益脾脏。（按：《黄帝内经》说：舌纵涎下都属于热证。这可能是汤氏的偏见，现在两者并存，以备参考。）
张涣的温脾丹 治疗滞颐有效。
白术、青皮（各半两）、半夏曲、丁香（各一两）、干姜（炮制，半两）。
以上药材研为细末，用米糊制成如黍米大小的丸药，一岁的婴儿服用十丸，两岁的服用二十丸，用米汤送服。
[Tang] In *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases), the entry for "Goose Mouth" states: When a newborn infant is born, there are white flakes in the mouth, covering the tongue like a goose's mouth; hence it is called "Goose Mouth." This condition arises from fetal heat, with the Heart and Spleen being the most affected. The heat steams upward to the mouth. Treatment involves wrapping thread around the finger, dipping it into well water (Jinghua Shui, water drawn from a well at dawn), and wiping the affected area. Before sleep, sprinkle Huangdan (Cinnabar, processed by fire) onto the tongue. (From *Ge Shi Fang*). If the white flakes on the tongue do not come off after using the above method, boil chestnut juice until thick, wrap cotton around the finger, and wipe. If chestnuts are unavailable in spring or summer, boil the bark of the chestnut tree, using it as one would use well water.
When an infant first leaves the womb, some have a "tongue-tie," where a membrane under the tongue resembles a pomegranate seed, connecting the underside of the tongue. This may later cause speech impediments and limited tongue movement. One can sever this connection with fingernails; slight bleeding is harmless. If bleeding does not stop, apply ash from burnt hair to the wound to stop it.
(See section on Heat in the Heart Master)
[Tian] For adults or children suffering from trismus (lockjaw) with inability to open the mouth and tight jaw muscles, if various medicines fail, take one qian of powder of Rhizoma Arisaematis (Tiannanxing) mixed with a small amount of Borneol (Naozi). Grind them evenly together. Dip a finger in fresh ginger juice, apply the medicine to the roots of the upper and lower molars on both sides, and the mouth will open immediately.
[Danxi] For newborns with trismus who cannot suckle milk, use Peripatus schlegelii (Chi Jiao Wu Gong), remove the legs, roast, and grind into powder. Mix with pig milk and administer 5 fen orally. After three or four doses, the condition cures.
*[Taiping Shenghui Fang]* A child develops trismus seven days after birth. Take a small amount of Calculus Bovis (Niuhuang), mix with Bamboo Sap (Zhuli), administer a quantity equivalent to one zi, and drip pig milk into the mouth.
Method for inducing sneezing in trismus: Grind Curcuma aromatica (Yujin), Veratrum nigrum (Lilu), and Melon Seed (Gua Di) into powder. Mix with water and insufflate into the nasal cavity.
(This refers to drooling from the corners of the mouth.)
[Su] Qingxin Daotan Wan (Clear Heart and Guide Out Phlegm Pill) treats flaccid tongue with drooling. (Formula seen in Adult Section. Has been used with excellent results.)
[Tang] Infants suffering from "Zhi Yi" (drooling accumulation on the chin) exhibit excessive saliva flowing out and accumulating on the chin. This is caused by coldness in the Spleen and Stomach leading to excess saliva. The fluid of the Spleen is saliva. Due to deficiency-cold in the Spleen and Stomach, the body fails to control the fluids, causing them to flow onto the chin. The treatment method should be to tonify the Spleen. (Note: *Huangdi Neijing* states that flaccid tongue and drooling belong to Heat. This may be Tang's biased view. Both are preserved here for reference.)
Zhang Huan's Wenpi Dan (Warm the Spleen Pill) is effective for treating Zhi Yi.
Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride) (each half liang); Banxia Qu (Prepared Pinellia Fermented Paste), Dingxiang (Caryophylli Flos) (each one liang); Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Preparatum) (processed, half liang).
Grind the above into fine powder, make pills with rice paste the size of millet seeds. For a one-year-old infant, administer ten pills; for a two-year-old, twenty pills. Swallow with rice drink.
