养生论曰鸡肉不可令小儿食食之令生蛔虫又令体消瘦(杜阳杂编)
社坛余胙酒治孩儿语迟以少许吃吐酒喷屋四角辟蚊虫(本草)
东阳陈叔山小儿二岁得下痢尝先啼日以羸困问华佗佗曰其母怀躯阳气内养乳中虚冷儿得
母寒故令不时愈佗与四物女苑丸十日即除(魏志)
有小儿感冷身大热恶寒此有表症用发汗药汗出遂凉过一日复热医谓表解里未解验之服四
顺饮
子利动脏腑一行遂凉隔一日又再热医云经热未解验之小便赤故知心热未解服生气汤遂凉过二
日又热其家无所措手医曰脉已和非病也既发汗又利大小便其儿已虚阳气无所归皆见于表所以
身热以和胃气药如六神散之类加乌梅煎令微觉有酸味收其阳气归自此全愈
此脾虚生风之症也脾属土其色黄粪黄则是脾家正色今乃青肝木克脾也肝属木其色青肝盛
脾虚
受肝之克故粪青也当服益脾去风药如半硫丸加白附子蝎梢可以治之虽然小儿青粪抛下便青者
是风冷也良久然后青者非病也小儿粪自然如此
小儿因患泄泻或疳气服药泻止却患咳嗽治得咳嗽少愈以五六岁脚弱不能行师曰脾传肺故
咳嗽
肺传肾故不能行脾属土土生金金生水故传之肾肾主腰脚故不能行因用猪腰子煎汁服五疳保童
丸半月遂能行
小儿未会行能坐不可常常抱在手中可以入坐车能独坐春夏坐于地上寒则以荐席衬之人得
地气
方能行惜之过当常抱持之所以当行而不能行也万物非土不生故小儿亦要得地气也(以上医录)
《养生论》说：鸡肉不可让小儿食用，吃了会生出蛔虫，还会导致身体消瘦。（出自《杜阳杂编》）
用社坛祭祀剩下的肉和酒治疗小孩说话迟滞，取少量酒吐出来喷洒在屋子的四个角落，以驱避蚊虫。（出自《本草》相关记载）
东阳人陈叔山的儿子两岁得了痢疾，常常先啼哭，每天身体都虚弱困顿。询问华佗，华佗说：“他的母亲怀孕时，阳气在内滋养胎儿，乳汁变得虚冷，孩子吸吮了带有母体寒气的乳汁，所以一直不好。”华佗开了四物女苑丸，十天后病就好了。（出自《三国志·魏书》）
有个小孩感受风寒，身体高热、怕冷，这是有表证，用了发汗药后出汗，体温随即降下。过了一天又发热，医生认为表证已解但里证未解，验之发现服用四顺饮后大便通畅，脏腑之气随之调和，体温随即降下。隔了一天又再次发热，医生说经热未解，验之小便颜色赤红，所以知道心热未解，服用了生气汤后体温随即降下。过了两天又发热，家人手足无措。医生说：“脉象平和，不是疾病本身的问题。既然已经发汗，又通过大小便泄泻，孩子已经虚弱，阳气无处依附，全都浮越于体表，所以身体发热。用调和胃气的药物，如六神散之类，加乌梅煎煮，使其微微带有酸味，以收敛浮越的阳气，归入体内，这样就能痊愈。”
这是脾虚生风的病症。脾属土，其色黄，粪便黄色则是脾家的本色。现在却是青色，是肝木克制脾土。肝属木，其色青，肝气盛而脾气虚，受到肝的克制，所以粪便是青色。应当服用益脾祛风的药物，如半硫丸加白附子、蝎梢，可以治疗它。虽然如此，小儿排出的青色粪便，如果抛在地上立刻变青的，是风冷所致；过了一会儿才变青的，不是病态。小儿的粪便本来就是这样。
小儿因为患泄泻或疳气，服药后腹泻停止，却患上了咳嗽。治疗咳嗽稍有好转，但到了五六岁时脚弱不能行走。老师说：“脾传肺，所以咳嗽；肺传肾，所以不能行走。脾属土，土生金（肺），金生水（肾），所以病传至肾。肾主腰脚，所以不能行走。”于是用猪腰子煎汁送服五疳保童丸，半个月后就能行走了。
小儿还不会走路、只会坐的时候，不可以常常抱在手中，可以让他在车里坐，能独自坐时，春夏季节坐在地上，寒冷时用席子垫衬。人只有接触地气才能行走。过分爱惜，总是抱着，所以到了该走的时候反而不能走。万物没有土就不能生长，所以小儿也需要接触地气。（以上出自医录）
The "Treatise on Health Preservation" states: Chicken meat should not be fed to children; consuming it causes roundworms (Ascaris lumbricoides) and leads to emaciation. (From *Duyang Zabian*)
Remains of sacrificial meat and wine from the Earth God altar are used to treat delayed speech in infants. A small amount is spat out and sprayed into the four corners of the room to repel mosquitoes and insects. (From *Bencao* records)
The two-year-old son of Chen Shushan from Dongyang suffered from dysentery, often crying first and becoming increasingly weak and exhausted daily. He consulted Hua Tuo, who said: "When his mother was pregnant, the Yang Qi nourished the fetus internally, causing her breast milk to become deficient and cold. The child ingested this maternal coldness, which is why he did not recover." Hua Tuo prescribed Siwu Nüwan Pill (Four-Ingredient Nüwan Pill), and the illness was cured after ten days. (From *Records of the Three Kingdoms: Book of Wei*)
A child contracted cold pathogens, presenting with high fever and aversion to cold, indicating an exterior syndrome. After administering diaphoretic herbs, sweating occurred, and the body temperature cooled down. However, one day later, the fever returned. The physician reasoned that while the exterior had resolved, the interior remained affected. Upon verification, after administering Sishun Yin (Four-Obedience Decoction), bowel movements became smooth, internal organs harmonized, and the temperature cooled again. Another day passed, and the fever recurred. The physician stated that the heat in the meridians had not yet cleared; verification showed red urine, indicating unresolved Heart Heat. After administering Shengqi Tang (Vitality-Generating Decoction), the temperature cooled again. Two days later, the fever returned once more, leaving the family at a loss. The physician observed: "The pulse is harmonious; this is not due to the disease itself. Since diaphoresis has been induced, and both large and small bowels have been purged, the child is now deficient. The Yang Qi has no place to reside and floats to the exterior, causing the fever. Use stomach-harmonizing formulas such as Liushen San (Six-Spirit Powder), adding sour plum (Wumei) to decoct until a slight sour taste is perceived, to astringe the floating Yang Qi and guide it back inside. Thus, full recovery will occur."
This is a syndrome of Wind generated by Spleen deficiency. The Spleen belongs to Earth, its color is yellow, and yellow stool reflects the normal color of the Spleen. Here, the stool is green, indicating Liver Wood overacting on Spleen Earth. The Liver belongs to Wood, its color is green. When Liver Qi is excess and Spleen Qi is deficient, the Spleen suffers from Liver overaction, resulting in green stool. Treatment should involve herbs that tonify the Spleen and expel Wind, such as Banshu Wan (Half-Sulfur Pill) added with Baifuzi (Aconitum carmichaelii lateral root processed) and Xieshao (Scorpion tail). Although, if green stool turns green immediately upon being thrown on the ground, it is due to Cold-Wind; if it turns green only after a while, it is not pathological. This is natural for infant stool.
A child suffering from diarrhea or malnutrition (Gan syndrome) stopped having diarrhea after medication but subsequently developed coughing. After the cough improved slightly, at age five or six, the child's legs were weak and unable to walk. The master explained: "Spleen transmits to Lung, causing cough; Lung transmits to Kidney, causing inability to walk. Spleen is Earth, Earth generates Metal (Lung), Metal generates Water (Kidney); thus, the pathology transmits to the Kidney. The Kidney governs the waist and legs, hence the inability to walk." Consequently, pig kidneys were decocted in water, and Wugan Bao Tong Wan (Five-Gan Child-Preserving Pill) was administered with the juice. Within half a month, the child could walk.
Infants who cannot yet walk but can sit should not be constantly held in arms. They may sit in a carriage; when able to sit alone, during spring and summer they should sit on the ground, and in winter, mats should be used for cushioning. Humans require contact with Earth Qi to walk. Excessive care and constant holding prevent walking when the time comes. All things cannot grow without Earth; similarly, children need to acquire Earth Qi. (Above from Medical Records)
