《千金》云∶儿初生辄死,视口中悬雍前上 有泡者,以指甲摘取头,决溃去血,勿令入咽。
《三因》云∶儿初生不能啼者,必难产冒寒所致。急用绵絮包抱怀中,勿断脐带,
将胞衣置炉炭中烧之。再捻大纸条,蘸油点火,于脐带下熏之,令火气入脐,更以
热醋汤烫洗脐带。须臾气回啼哭,方可浴。浴后断带。又或有泡在上 ,即如上救初生辄死法治之。
儿初生,眼不开、呻吟,胎热故也,宜天竺黄散、生地黄汤,及与乳母吃。亦
有洗拭不净,使秽汁溃于 中,致赤烂。长亦不瘥。(宜真金散洗之。)
此亦拭口不净,恶秽入腹,令儿腹满气短,不能吮乳。或母取冷过度,胎中受
寒,令儿腹痛也。(宜外台方之类,灸承浆七壮亦好。)
此多因母恣食热物,热毒入胎所致。如脐腹肿胀,四旁青黑色及口撮,即不可
救。(如未见色,宜外台方豆豉膏之类。)
由胎中受热,热结肛门燥涩,所以如此。若三日不通,急令乳母以温水漱口,
咂儿前后心,并脐下、手足心共七处,凡四、五次。仍以轻粉半钱,蜜少许,温水
化开,时时服少许,以通为度。如仍不通,须透而通之,金簪、玉簪俱可。须刺入
一、二寸,内少苏合丸于内,粪出为快。若腹膨胀,呻吟不乳,至一七则难救,用硬葱针 肛门亦好。
《千金方》记载:婴儿刚出生就死亡,观察其口腔中悬雍垂前方上方有泡的,用指甲掐破泡头,刺破排出血,不要让血流入咽喉。
《三因极一病证方论》记载:婴儿刚出生不能啼哭的,一定是难产受寒所致。急忙用棉絮包裹抱在怀中,不要剪断脐带,将胎盘放在炉炭中烧掉。再捻一大纸条,蘸油点火,在脐带下方熏烤,让火气进入脐部,再用热醋汤烫洗脐带。一会儿气息恢复啼哭,才可以洗澡。洗完澡后再剪断脐带。或者如果有泡在上颚,就按照上面救治初生即死的方法处理。
婴儿刚出生,眼睛不睁开、发出呻吟声,这是胎热的缘故,适宜使用天竺黄散、生地黄汤,并让乳母服用。也有是因为清洗擦拭不干净,使污秽汁液溃烂于口中,导致红肿糜烂。长久也不痊愈。(适宜用真金散清洗。)
这也是因为擦拭口腔不干净,恶秽之气进入腹部,导致婴儿腹部胀满、气短,不能吸吮乳汁。或者是母亲过度贪凉,胎儿在母体内受寒,导致婴儿腹痛。(适宜使用《外台秘要》中的方剂之类,灸承浆穴七壮也很好。)
这多是因为母亲放纵食用热性食物,热毒传入胎儿所致。如果脐腹肿胀,四周呈现青黑色以及口唇撮缩,就不可救治。(如果未见这种颜色,适宜使用《外台秘要》中的豆豉膏之类。)
这是由于胎儿在母体内受热,热邪结聚肛门导致干燥涩滞,所以出现这种情况。如果三天不通便,急忙让乳母用温水漱口,吸吮婴儿的前心、后心,以及脐下、手足心共七处部位,总共四到五次。仍然用轻粉半钱,少许蜂蜜,用温水化开,不时服用少量,以通便是为度。如果仍然不通便,必须穿透肠道使其通畅,金簪、玉簪都可以。必须刺入一寸到两寸深,在里面放入少许苏合丸,大便排出才算好转。如果腹部膨胀,呻吟且不吸吮乳汁,到了出生后第七天就很难救治了,用硬葱针刺激肛门也可以。
The *Qianjin Fang* (Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) states: If an infant dies immediately after birth, examine the mouth for blisters located anterior and superior to the uvula. Use fingernails to puncture the head of the blister, lacerate it to drain the blood, and ensure the blood does not enter the throat.
The *Sanyin Ji Bing Zheng Lei Fang* (Categories and Causes of Diseases) states: If an infant cannot cry immediately after birth, it is necessarily caused by difficult labor and exposure to cold. Quickly wrap the infant in cotton wadding and hold them close to your chest. Do not cut the umbilical cord yet; instead, burn the placenta in a charcoal stove. Then, twist a large paper strip, dip it in oil, ignite it, and smoke the area below the umbilical cord to allow the fire's qi to enter the navel. Subsequently, scald and wash the umbilical cord with hot vinegar water. After a short while, when the infant's breath returns and they begin to cry, bathing may commence. The umbilical cord should be cut only after bathing. Alternatively, if there are blisters on the palate, treat them according to the method described above for infants dying immediately after birth.
When an infant is born with eyes unopened and emitting whimpering sounds, this is due to fetal heat. It is appropriate to administer Tianzhu Huang San (Bambusa Textilis Decoction) and Sheng Dihuang Tang (Rehmannia Root Decoction), and have the wet nurse consume them as well. In some cases, improper cleaning leads to foul fluids causing ulceration in the mouth, resulting in redness and erosion that persists for a long time without healing. (It is advisable to wash with Zhenjin San.)
This condition also arises from incomplete oral cleansing, allowing foul pathogens to enter the abdomen, causing abdominal distension, shortness of breath, and an inability to suckle milk. Alternatively, if the mother excessively consumed cold foods, the fetus may have contracted cold in the womb, leading to abdominal pain. (Formulas from the *Waitai Miyao* (Secret Essentials of the Outer Chamber) are suitable; moxibustion at Chengjiang CV24 with seven moxa cones is also beneficial.)
This is mostly caused by the mother indulging in hot-natured foods, allowing heat toxins to transmit to the fetus. If the umbilicus and abdomen become swollen, the surrounding areas turn cyanotic or blackish, and the lips pucker tightly, the condition is incurable. (If these colors are not yet visible, formulas such as Douchi Gao from the *Waitai Miyao* are appropriate.)
This results from heat accumulated in the womb, causing heat stagnation in the anus leading to dryness and constipation. If there is no bowel movement within three days, urgently instruct the wet nurse to rinse her mouth with warm water and then perform "sucking therapy" (acupressure/suction technique) on seven points: the anterior chest, posterior back, below the umbilicus, and the palms and soles of both feet, repeating this four to five times. Additionally, dissolve half a qian of Qingfen (Calomel) with a small amount of honey in warm water, and administer small doses occasionally until defecation occurs. If defecation still does not occur, mechanical intervention is necessary to penetrate and clear the blockage; gold or jade hairpins can be used. They must be inserted one to two cun deep, with a small amount of Suheli Wan (Styrax Pill) placed inside. Relief is achieved upon the passage of stool. If abdominal distension, whimpering, and refusal to suckle persist until the seventh day postpartum, the condition becomes difficult to save. Using a hard green onion stalk to stimulate the anus is also effective.
