梦生
小儿初生，不能发声，谓之梦生，多不知救，深为可悯！勿
断脐带，用火炙其胞衣，使暖气入儿腹，更以热汤蒸洗脐带，取猫一只，以布袋裹其头足，拿住猫头，向儿耳
边，以口啮猫耳，猫叫一声，儿即醒而开声。○又有因产难，或冒风寒生下，儿气欲绝，不能啼者，亦以前法。
更令父母以口气呵而接之。（陈飞霞）
不啼
小儿初生气绝，不能啼者，必是难产或冒寒所致。急以棉絮包抱怀中，未可便断脐带，将胞衣置炉中烧之，
仍拈大纸条，蘸油点火，于脐带下熏之，盖脐带连儿，熏时则火气由脐入腹，更以热醋汤，荡洗脐带，须臾气
回啼哭，方可断脐。○儿生不啼哭，不吞乳，奄奄如死者，急看喉间，悬壅、上 有小泡，用指摘破，以帛拭去
恶血，即能出声吞乳。（《三因方》）
不乳
不乳，谓初出胞胎，不吮乳也。其故有二，不可不辨∶儿生，腹中脐粪未下，能令小儿腹满气短，呕吐不
乳，当用一捻金治之。若因母过食寒凉，胎受其气，儿必腹痛多啼，面色青白，宜匀气散主之；若四肢厥逆者，
理中汤主之。（《医宗金鉴》）
眼不开
儿生眼闭呻吟者，因受胎热所致。宜用天竺黄散，并与母吃，复以竹筒煎汤洗眼。或以熊胆化水洗眼，一
日七次。（《证治准绳》）
不小便
儿生不尿者，因在胎时，母恣食啖，热毒之气，流入胎中，是以生而脐腹肿胀，小便不出。如脐四旁有青
黑色及口撮者，即不可救；如未有青黑色，但不饮乳者，宜服葱乳汤，贴豆豉膏。（《证治准绳》）
不大便
俗名锁肚。由胎中受热，热毒壅盛，结于肛门，闭而不通。急令妇人漱口，吮咂儿前后心，并脐下、手足
心，共七处，凡四、五次。以轻粉半钱，蜜少许，温水化开，时时服之，以通为度。
如更不通，即是肛门内合，当以物通之。急以金玉簪尖，看其的处，刺穿作孔，以苏合香丸作挺，纳入孔中，
粪出为快。若肚腹膨胀，不乳呻吟，一七，难望生也。（《证治准绳》）
噤风
初生儿须防三病∶一撮口；二着噤；三脐风。皆急病也，着噤尤甚，过一腊方免。其候∶牙关紧急，吃乳
不稳，啼声渐小，口吐涎沫。急看儿上 ，有点子，先以指甲轻轻掐破，次服定命散、辰砂全蝎散；如口噤不
开，服药不效者，用生南星去皮脐研末，龙脑少许，合和，用指蘸生姜汁，于大牙根上擦之，立开。凡脐风、
撮口、噤风，三者虽异，其受病之原则一也。大抵里气郁结，壅闭不通，并宜煎豆豉汁与吃，取下胎毒。（《圣惠方》）
撮口
外证舌强唇青，面目黄赤，气息喘急，啼声不出，饮乳有妨。若口出白沫、四肢冷者，不可救疗，其或肚
胀青筋，吊卵引痛，此皆肠胃郁结不通所致，治贵疏利，宜辰砂膏。初生七日后乃免。（李仲南）
婴儿胎气挟热，亦因母有邪热传染，或生下洗浴当风，致令啼声不出，乳哺艰难，名曰撮口。病在七日之
内尤甚，急风散主之。（张涣）
小儿口频撮者，气不和也。盖唇应乎脾，气出于肺，脾虚不能生肺，故口频撮。异功散补脾生肺为良。（陈飞霞）
初生小儿，鹅口、撮噤，并是出胎客风着颅、脐所致。以小艾灸三壮，及烙之，愈。（《颅囱经》）
脐风
脐风者，谓断脐之后，被水湿风冷所乘，侵于脐中，流入心脾，遂令腹胀脐肿，身体重着，肢强，多啼不
能吮乳，甚则发搐。若脐边青黑，撮口不开，是为内搐，不治；爪甲黑者，即死；其或热在胸膛，伸缩努气，
亦令脐肿。治宜龙胆汤主之。（孙思邈）
此证受病之原，皆缘胎毒。大概里气壅滞，总宜取下胎毒为好，不可因循。古方天麻丸、定命丹、朱银丸，
可量与之，虽危多活。每见脐风、撮口，七日内见之，百难一生。（《赤水玄珠》）
此证宜先用控痰散吐风痰，次用益脾散和脾，再用辰砂膏利惊。若手足挛拳、口噤不开者，不治。（《类萃》）
儿初生一七日内，患脐风撮口，百无一效。有一妙法，看儿龈上，有小泡如粟米状，以温水蘸绵裹指，轻
轻擦破，不药神效。（《三因方》）
古人之论脐风，皆谓由于水湿风冷所致。予则以为古论犹未尽也。盖脐风有内、外二因，有可治、不可治
之别。外因者，风湿所伤；内因者，禀赋之真阳不足也。凡男子之命阳不足者，生子必有脐风。其外因者，病
发于二、三、四、五日之间，病生于六腑，故可治；内因者，必发于六、七日之间，病生于五脏，故不可治。
但看小儿，不时喷嚏，更多啼哭，吮乳口松，是真候也。（陈飞霞）
垂痈
小儿出胎六七日，舌上有物，如芦箨盛水状者，名曰垂痈。以绵缠长针，留刃处如粟米大，刺令去血。消
息一日，未消者，又刺之，三刺自消。有着舌下者，名重舌；着上 者，名重 ；着齿龈上者，名重龈。皆刺
去血。刺后，盐汤洗拭，用如圣散，或壹字散糁刷。（《千金方》）
舌证
微露即收，名弄舌；伸长收缓，名吐舌。弄舌者，脾脏有热，致令舌络牵紧，时时伸出，用泻黄散。或饮
水者，脾胃虚而津液少也；兼面黄肌瘦，五心烦热者，疳也，用胡连丸。大病未已，而弄舌者，凶。（《小儿直诀》）
舌肿硬粗大满口，名木舌，由风热盛也。不急治，则塞杀人，宜服泻黄散、玉露饮，以消黄散擦之。有小
舌附于舌下，名重舌，
以蒲黄敷之，内服当归连翘汤。盖舌者心之苗，心热则生疮破裂，肝壅则血出如涌，脾闭则白胎如雪。总宜凉
散上焦及心、肝、脾三经邪热为主。（初虞世）
鹅口
儿初生，口里白屑满舌，如鹅之口，故名。由在胎受谷气盛，心脾热气熏发于口。治用井花水拭之，黄丹
出火气，糁之。不效，煮栗 汁，以绵缠指拭之。○《简要》∶用牙硝细研，于舌上糁之，日三、五度。○
《秘录》∶用桑皮汁和腻粉敷之。（《证治准绳》）
脐湿 脐疮 脐突
婴儿脐中肿湿，经久不瘥，若至百日，即危。宜急治之，用枯矾、龙骨，等分为末，入麝少许，揩拭脐干。
糁药时，切须避风。（滑伯仁）
绛帛灰敷脐中。○干虾蟆、牡蛎各一枚，烧灰研敷。○破屋上烂草为末，频糁，效。（《证治准绳》）
浴儿水入脐中，或尿湿绷袍，致脐肿烂成疮。或解脱，风袭经络，则成风痫。若脐肿不干，久则发搐。（《巢氏病原》）
脐突，因儿初生洗浴，系脐不紧，秽水浸入，旬日外，脐忽光浮如吹，治宜白芍药汤加苡仁，另用外消散
涂贴，自平。（曾氏）
胎惊
胎惊者，其候∶月内壮热，翻眼握拳，噤口切牙，身腰强直。涎潮呕吐，搐掣惊啼，腮缩囟开，或颊赤，
或面青眼合。凡胎风眼合，不可误作慢惊而用温药。先宜解散风邪，利惊化痰。（王肯堂）
百日内发搐∶真者，不过两、三次必死；假者，频发不死。真者，内生惊痫；假者，外伤风冷。（钱仲阳）
月里生惊，取猪乳研辰砂、牛黄各少许，调拭口中，神效。（田氏）
如无猪乳，以活蚌剖开，取水数匙，服之即效。
胎痫
胎痫者，因未产前腹中被惊，或母食酸咸过多，或为七情所汨，致伤胎气，儿生百日内有者是也。发时，
气逆痰作，目上视，身反张，啼声不出。先用参苏饮和解，次以不惊丹或琥珀抱龙丸间投。轻者可愈，重者难
全。（曾氏）
胎热
胎热者，因母孕时食热物过多，令儿生下体热面赤，口中气热，焦啼燥渴，或二便不通，以木通散煎与母
服，使入于乳，儿饮渐解。勿求速效，以凉药攻之，致呕吐而成大患，慎之。（《寿世保元》）
胎寒
胎寒者，乳母孕时受寒，生下再感外邪，令儿面白肢冷，大便青黑，口冷腹痛，身起寒栗等证，宜当归
散治之。（《寿世保元》）
胎肥
胎肥者，生下肌肉肥浓，遍身血色红，盈月后，渐渐羸瘦，目白睛红，五心烦热，大便难，时时生涎，宜
浴体法。（《证治准绳》）
胎怯
胎怯者，生下面无精光，肌薄便白，身无血色，哽气多哕，目无神采，亦宜浴体法。（《证治准绳》）
胎黄
胎黄者，因乳母受热而传于胎，儿生遍体面目皆黄，状如金色，身上壮热，大便不通，小便如栀子汁，乳
食不思，啼哭不止，宜地黄汤主之。（《寿世保元》）
胎赤
胎赤者，因孕妇过食辛热之物，以致毒热凝结，蕴于胞中，遂令小儿生下头面肢体赤若丹涂，故名胎赤。
当以清热解毒汤主之；热盛便秘者，蒋氏化毒丹主之。（《医宗金鉴》）
无皮
婴儿生下无皮，其证有二∶或因父母素有杨梅结毒，传染胞胎，故生下或上半身赤烂，或下半身赤烂，
甚至色带紫黑；又有因月分未足，生育太早，遍体浸渍，红嫩而光。二证俱属恶候。遗毒者，内服换肌消毒散；
外用清凉膏或鹅黄散敷之。胎元不足者，内服当归饮；外用稻米粉扑之。（《医宗金鉴》）
小儿初生，其身有如汤泡火伤者，此皆产母过食膏粱所致也。母服清胃散，儿亦饮数匙。有身无皮肤而
不赤者，由产母脾气不足也，宜用粳米粉敷之；若 赤发热者，由产母胃中火盛也，宜用石膏粉敷之。
《经》云∶脾主肌肉，肺主皮毛。故知病在脾肺也。（《证治准绳》）
赤游风
小儿赤游风证，多由胎中毒热而成，或生后过于温暖，毒热蒸发于外，以至皮肤赤热而肿，色若丹涂，
游走不定，行于遍身，故名曰赤游风。多发于头面四肢之间，若内归心腹，则死。治法当服犀角解毒饮；如不
愈，继以蓝叶散。外用砭法，刺出毒血。毒甚者，敷以神功散；毒轻者，不用敷药。在百日内者，小儿忌砭血，
以其肌肉难任也。须用猪肉贴法，或以赤小豆末、鸡子清调涂之，甚效。（《医宗金鉴》）

梦生
新生儿出生后不能发声，称为“梦生”，人们往往不知道如何救治，实在令人怜悯！不要剪断脐带，用火烘烤胎盘，使暖气进入婴儿腹部，再用热水烫洗脐带。取一只猫，用布袋包裹住它的头和脚，抓住猫头，对着婴儿的耳朵，让猫咬自己的耳朵，猫叫一声，婴儿就会醒来并哭出声来。○又有因难产，或出生时受风寒侵袭，导致婴儿气息将绝、不能啼哭的情况，也采用上述方法。再让父母向婴儿口中呵气以接续其气息。（陈飞霞）
不啼
新生儿出生后气息断绝、不能啼哭，必定是难产或受寒所致。急忙用棉絮包裹抱在怀中，不可立即剪断脐带，将胎盘放在炉中烧掉，仍拿大纸条蘸油点燃，在脐带下方熏烤，因为脐带连着婴儿，熏烤时火气会通过脐部进入腹部，再用热醋汤荡洗脐带，片刻后气息恢复开始啼哭，才可以剪断脐带。○婴儿出生不啼哭、不吞咽乳汁，奄奄一息像死了一样，急忙查看喉间，发现悬雍垂和上颚有小水泡，用手指甲挑破，用布擦去恶血，就能发出声音吞咽乳汁。（《三因方》）
不乳
“不乳”，指刚出胞胎，不吮吸乳汁。其原因有两个，不可不分辨：婴儿出生，腹中胎粪未下，会导致小儿腹胀气短，呕吐而不吃奶，应当用一捻金治疗。如果是因为母亲过食寒凉食物，胎气受到寒气影响，婴儿必然腹痛多啼，面色青白，适宜用匀气散主治；如果出现四肢厥冷的情况，用理中汤主治。（《医宗金鉴》）
眼不开
婴儿出生眼睛紧闭呻吟，是因为受孕时受热所致。适宜用天竺黄散，同时让母亲服用，再用竹筒煎汤清洗眼睛。或者用熊胆化水清洗眼睛，一天七次。（《证治准绳》）
不小便
婴儿出生不排尿，是因为在胎内时，母亲恣意饮食，热毒之气流入胎中，所以出生后脐腹肿胀，小便不出。如果脐部四周有青黑色以及口唇撮缩的，就不可救治；如果没有青黑色，只是不喝乳汁的，适宜服用葱乳汤，贴敷豆豉膏。（《证治准绳》）
不大便
俗名“锁肚”。由于胎中受热，热毒壅盛，结于肛门，闭塞不通。急忙让妇人漱口，吮吸婴儿的前心、后背，以及脐下、手足心，共七处，反复四到五次。用轻粉半钱，少许蜂蜜，温水化开，不时服用，以通畅为度。
如果仍然不通，就是肛门内部闭合，应当用物体疏通。急忙用金玉簪的尖端，找准位置，刺穿打孔，将苏合香丸做成条状，纳入孔中，粪便排出才算好转。如果肚腹膨胀，不吃奶且呻吟，过了七天，就很难指望存活了。（《证治准绳》）
噤风
初生婴儿必须防范三种疾病：一是撮口；二是着噤（口噤）；三是脐风。这些都是急症，其中着噤最为严重，超过一个月才能免除。其症状表现为：牙关紧急，吃奶不稳，啼哭声逐渐变小，口吐涎沫。急忙查看婴儿上颚，如果有小点，先用指甲轻轻掐破，其次服用定命散、辰砂全蝎散；如果口噤打不开，服药无效的，用生南星去皮脐研成粉末，加少许龙脑，混合均匀，用手指蘸生姜汁，在大牙根上擦拭，立刻能张开。凡是脐风、撮口、噤风，这三种病虽然表现不同，但其致病原理是一样的。大体上是里气郁结，壅闭不通，都适宜煎煮豆豉汁给婴儿喝，以排出胎毒。（《圣惠方》）
撮口
外部症状表现为舌头僵硬、嘴唇发青，面目黄赤，呼吸喘急，啼哭不出，喝奶受阻。如果口吐白沫、四肢冰冷的，不可救治；如果肚子胀大、青筋暴露，睾丸上吊牵引疼痛，这都是肠胃郁结不通所致，治疗贵在疏利，适宜用辰砂膏。出生七日后即可免除。（李仲南）
婴儿胎气挟带热邪，也是由于母亲有邪热传染，或出生后洗浴时当风受寒，导致啼哭不出，哺乳困难，名叫撮口。病在七日之内尤为严重，用急风散主治。（张涣）
小儿嘴巴频繁撮缩，是气机不和的表现。因为嘴唇对应脾脏，气出于肺，脾虚不能生养肺气，所以嘴巴频繁撮缩。异功散补脾生肺效果良好。（陈飞霞）
初生婴儿，鹅口、撮口、口噤，都是出胎时客风侵袭头部、脐部所致。用小艾炷灸三壮，并烙之，可痊愈。（《颅囟经》）
脐风
脐风，是指剪断脐带之后，被水湿风冷所乘，侵入脐中，流入心脾，于是导致腹胀脐肿，身体沉重，肢体强直，多啼而不能吮乳，严重时发生抽搐。如果脐边青黑，口撮打不开，这是内搐，无法治愈；指甲黑的，即死亡；如果热邪在胸膛，伸缩用力努气，也会导致脐肿。治疗适宜用龙胆汤主治。（孙思邈）
此证致病的根源，都源于胎毒。大体上是里气壅滞，总宜排出胎毒为好，不可拖延。古方天麻丸、定命丹、朱银丸，可以酌情给予，即使病情危重也多能救活。常常见到脐风、撮口，在七日内出现的，百人中难得救活一人。（《赤水玄珠》）
此证适宜先用控痰散吐出风痰，次用益脾散调和脾胃，再用辰砂膏镇惊利窍。如果出现手足挛拳、口噤打不开的，无法治愈。（《类萃》）
婴儿出生七日内，患脐风撮口，用药几乎没有效果。有一个妙法，看婴儿牙龈上，有小泡像粟米形状，用温水蘸棉花裹住手指，轻轻擦破，不用药也有神效。（《三因方》）
古人论述脐风，都说由于水湿风冷所致。我认为古人的论述还不够全面。大概脐风有内、外两种病因，有可治、不可治的区别。外因的，是风湿所伤；内因的，是禀赋的真阳不足。凡是男子命门真阳不足的，生子必然会有脐风。外因引起的，发病在二、三、四、五天之间，病生于六腑，所以可治；内因引起的，一定发病在六、七天之间，病生于五脏，所以不可治。只要看小儿，不时打喷嚏，更多啼哭，吮奶时口松，这是真正的征候。（陈飞霞）
垂痈
婴儿出生六七天，舌上有东西，像芦笋壳盛水的样子，名叫垂痈。用棉花缠绕长针，留出刀刃部分像粟米大小，刺破放血。观察一天，如果没消退，又刺一次，刺三次自然消退。有的长在舌下的，名叫重舌；长在上颚的，名叫重腭；长在齿龈上的，名叫重龈。都要刺破放血。刺后，用盐汤清洗擦拭，用如圣散，或一字散撒刷。（《千金方》）
舌证
稍微伸出舌头就收回，名叫弄舌；伸长后缓慢收回，名叫吐舌。弄舌的，是脾脏有热，导致舌络牵紧，时时伸出，用泻黄散治疗。或者是喝水的，是脾胃虚弱而津液少；兼见面黄肌瘦，五心烦热的，是疳积，用胡连丸治疗。大病未愈而出现弄舌的，凶险。（《小儿直诀》）
舌头肿胀坚硬粗大满口，名叫木舌，由风热盛所致。不及时治疗，则会堵塞致死，适宜服用泻黄散、玉露饮，用消黄散擦拭。有小舌附在舌下，名叫重舌，
用蒲黄敷在上面，内服当归连翘汤。因为舌是心的苗窍，心热则生疮破裂，肝气壅滞则血出如涌，脾脏闭塞则舌苔白如雪。总宜以疏散上焦及心、肝、脾三经邪热为主。（初虞世）
鹅口
婴儿刚出生，嘴里白屑满舌，像鹅的嘴巴，所以得名。因为在胎内时谷气过盛，心脾热气熏蒸发于口腔。治疗用井花水擦拭，黄丹经过火煅去除火气，撒在上面。无效的话，煮栗子皮汁，用棉花缠住手指擦拭。○《简要方》：用牙硝细研，撒在舌上，每天三到五次。○《秘录》：用桑皮汁和腻粉敷在上面。（《证治准绳》）
脐湿 脐疮 脐突
婴儿脐部肿胀潮湿，经久不愈，如果到了一百日，就很危险。应该急忙治疗，用枯矾、龙骨，等分为末，加入少许麝香，揩拭脐部使其干燥。
撒药时，务必避风。（滑伯仁）
用绛帛灰敷在脐中。○干虾蟆、牡蛎各一枚，烧成灰研碎敷用。○破屋上的烂草研成末，频繁撒用，有效。（《证治准绳》）
洗澡水进入脐中，或尿湿了绷带，导致脐部肿胀腐烂成疮。或者包扎脱落，风邪侵袭经络，则形成风痫。如果脐部肿胀不干，久了会引发抽搐。（《巢氏病原》）
脐突，因为婴儿刚出生洗浴，系脐带不紧，脏水浸入，十几天后，脐部突然光亮浮肿像吹起来一样，治疗适宜用白芍药汤加薏苡仁，另外用外消散涂贴，自然会平复。（曾氏）
胎惊
胎惊的症状：一个月内高热，翻白眼握拳，口噤咬牙，身腰强直。涎潮呕吐，抽搐惊啼，腮帮收缩囟门开放，或者脸颊红，或者面青眼睛闭合。凡是胎风导致眼睛闭合的，不可误当作慢惊风而用温药。先适宜解散风邪，利惊化痰。（王肯堂）
百日内发生抽搐：真的是惊痫，不过两三次必死；假的是外伤风冷，频发也不会死。真的，是内生惊痫；假的，是外伤风冷。（钱仲阳）
月子里生惊，取猪乳研磨辰砂、牛黄各少许，调匀擦拭口中，神效。（田氏）
如果没有猪乳，剖开活蚌，取水几匙，服用即效。
胎痫
胎痫，是因为产前腹中被惊吓，或母亲吃酸咸过多，或被七情扰乱，导致损伤胎气，婴儿出生后百日内发作的就是胎痫。发作时，气逆痰作，眼睛上视，身体反张，啼哭不出。先用参苏饮和解，次用不惊丹或琥珀抱龙丸交替投服。轻者可愈，重的难以完全康复。（曾氏）
胎热
胎热，是因为母亲怀孕时吃热物过多，导致婴儿生下后身体发热面部发红，口中气息热，烦躁啼哭燥渴，或者大小便不通，用木通散煎好给母亲服用，使药力进入乳汁，婴儿饮用后逐渐缓解。不要追求速效，用凉药攻伐，导致呕吐而成大祸，务必谨慎。（《寿世保元》）
胎寒
胎寒，是乳母怀孕时受寒，生下后再感受外邪，导致婴儿面色苍白四肢冰冷，大便青黑，口冷腹痛，身体起寒战等症状，适宜用当归散治疗。（《寿世保元》）
胎肥
胎肥，生下后肌肉肥厚浓密，遍身血色红，满月后，渐渐消瘦，眼白睛红，五心烦热，大便困难，时时流涎，适宜用浴体法（药浴）治疗。（《证治准绳》）
胎怯
胎怯，生下面无光泽，肌肤薄大便色白，身体无血色，哽气多呃逆，眼神无神采，也适宜用浴体法治疗。（《证治准绳》）
胎黄
胎黄，是因为乳母受热传给胎儿，婴儿生下后遍体面目皆黄，状如金色，身上高热，大便不通，小便像栀子汁，不想吃奶，啼哭不止，适宜用地黄汤主治。（《寿世保元》）
胎赤
胎赤，是因为孕妇过食辛辣热物，以致毒热凝结，蕴藏在胞宫中，于是导致小儿生下后头面肢体赤红像丹砂涂抹，所以名叫胎赤。
应当用清热解毒汤主治；热盛便秘的，用蒋氏化毒丹主治。（《医宗金鉴》）
无皮
婴儿生下没有皮肤，其证候有两种：一种是因为父母素有杨梅结毒（梅毒），传染给胞胎，所以生下后上半身赤烂，或下半身赤烂，甚至颜色带紫黑；另一种是因为月份未到，生育太早，遍体浸渍，红嫩而光。这两种证候都属于恶候。遗毒者，内服换肌消毒散；外用清凉膏或鹅黄散敷用。胎元不足者，内服当归饮；外用稻米粉扑洒。（《医宗金鉴》）
小儿刚出生，身体像烫伤火伤一样，这都是产母过食油腻厚味所致。母亲服用清胃散，婴儿也喝几匙。有身体没有皮肤但不红的，是由产母脾气不足所致，适宜用粳米粉敷用；如果红肿发热的，是由产母胃中火盛所致，适宜用石膏粉敷用。
《内经》说：脾主肌肉，肺主皮毛。所以知道病在脾肺。（《证治准绳》）
赤游风
小儿赤游风证，多由胎中毒热而成，或出生后过于温暖，毒热蒸发于体表，以至皮肤赤热而肿，色若丹砂涂抹，游走不定，行于遍身，所以名叫赤游风。多发于头面四肢之间，如果内归心腹，则死。治疗方法当服用犀角解毒饮；如果不愈，继以蓝叶散。外用砭法，刺出毒血。毒严重的，敷以神功散；毒轻的，不用敷药。在百日内的婴儿，忌用砭血疗法，因为其肌肉难以承受。须用猪肉贴法，或用赤小豆末、鸡蛋清调涂，很有效。（《医宗金鉴》）

Dream Birth
When a newborn cannot make a sound after birth, it is called "Dream Birth" (Meng Sheng). People often do not know how to rescue them, which is deeply pitiable! Do not cut the umbilical cord. Burn the placenta with fire to allow warm air to enter the infant's abdomen. Then, wash the umbilical cord with hot water. Take one cat, wrap its head and feet in a cloth bag, hold the cat's head, and bring it near the infant's ear. Bite the cat's ear so that the cat cries once; the infant will then wake up and make a sound. ○ In cases where the infant cannot cry due to difficult labor or exposure to wind-cold at birth, causing the vital energy to be on the verge of extinction, use the above method. Additionally, have the parents blow breath into the infant's mouth to reconnect the qi. (Chen Feixia)
Non-Crying
If a newborn has no breath and cannot cry, it must be caused by difficult labor or exposure to cold. Immediately wrap the infant in cotton wool and hold them close to the chest. Do not cut the umbilical cord immediately. Burn the placenta in a stove. Take a large paper strip, dip it in oil, light it, and smoke the area below the umbilical cord. Since the umbilical cord connects to the infant, the fire's qi enters the abdomen through the navel during smoking. Then, rinse the umbilical cord with hot vinegar water. After a moment, when the qi returns and crying begins, the umbilical cord can be cut. ○ If an infant does not cry, does not swallow milk, and appears lifeless, quickly check the throat. If there are small blisters on the uvula or hard palate, puncture them with a fingernail, wipe away the bad blood with a cloth, and the infant will be able to vocalize and swallow milk. (*San Yin Fang*)
Failure to Suckle
"Failure to suckle" refers to the inability to suck milk immediately after birth. There are two causes, which must be distinguished: If the infant has not passed meconium, leading to abdominal distension, shortness of breath, vomiting, and refusal to suckle, treat with *Yinian Jin* (One-Pinch Gold Decoction). If the cause is the mother consuming too much cold-cooling food, affecting the fetal qi, the infant will likely suffer from abdominal pain, excessive crying, and a cyan-white complexion; treat primarily with *Yunqi San* (Harmonizing Qi Powder). If there is cold reversal of the four limbs, treat with *Lizhong Tang* (Regulate the Middle Decoction). (*Yizong Jinjian*)
Eyes Not Opening
If an infant is born with eyes closed and groaning, it is caused by heat received during conception. Use *Tianzhu Huang San* (Calamine Powder) and have the mother consume it. Also, wash the eyes with decoction from a bamboo tube. Alternatively, wash the eyes with water dissolved with bear bile, seven times a day. (*Zhengzhi Zhunsheng*)
No Urination
If an infant does not urinate after birth, it is because the mother indulged in dieting during pregnancy, allowing heat-toxin qi to flow into the fetus. Consequently, the infant is born with swelling around the navel and abdomen and cannot urinate. If there is cyan-black discoloration around the navel and the mouth is puckered, it is incurable. If there is no cyan-black discoloration but the infant refuses milk, administer *Congru Tang* (Scallion and Milk Decoction) and apply *Douchi Gao* (Fermented Soybean Paste). (*Zhengzhi Zhunsheng*)
No Defecation
Commonly known as "Locked Belly" (Suo Du). It is caused by heat in the womb, where excess heat-toxin accumulates and blocks the anus, preventing passage. Quickly have a woman rinse her mouth and suck the infant's anterior chest, posterior back, below the navel, and palms/soles of feet—seven areas in total—for four or five sessions. Dissolve half a qian of Calomel (Qingfen) with a little honey in warm water, and administer frequently until bowel movement is achieved.
If still obstructed, it indicates internal closure of the anus, requiring physical intervention. Use the tip of a gold/jade hairpin to locate the exact spot, pierce a hole, and insert a suppository made from *Suhe Xiang Wan* (Styrax Pill). Relief comes with fecal expulsion. If the abdomen is distended, the infant refuses milk and groans, survival is unlikely after seven days. (*Zhengzhi Zhunsheng*)
Jin Feng (Lockjaw Wind)
Newborns must be guarded against three diseases: Puckered Mouth (Cuo Kou), Lockjaw (Zhe Jin), and Umbilical Wind (Qi Feng). All are acute conditions, with Lockjaw being the most severe, lasting over a lunar month. Symptoms include: tight jaw, unstable feeding, diminishing cry, and foaming at the mouth. Quickly check the upper palate for spots. First, gently puncture with a fingernail. Then administer *Ming San* (Life-Determining Powder) or *Chensha Quanxie San* (Cinnabar and Whole Scorpion Powder). If the jaw remains locked and medication fails, use raw *Nanxing* (Arisaema Rhizome) peeled and powdered, mixed with a little Longnao (Borneol). Dip a finger in ginger juice and rub the gums; the mouth will open immediately. Although Qi Feng, Cuo Kou, and Jin Feng differ in presentation, their pathological principle is the same: internal qi stagnation and blockage. Generally, decoct fermented soybean juice for the infant to drink to expel fetal toxins. (*Shenghui Fang*)
Cuo Kou (Puckered Mouth)
External signs include a stiff tongue, cyan lips, yellow-red face, rapid breathing, inability to cry, and difficulty feeding. If white foam issues from the mouth and limbs are cold, it is incurable. If the abdomen is distended with visible veins, and the testicles are drawn up causing pain, these are all caused by gastrointestinal stagnation and blockage. Treatment prioritizes unblocking and draining; use *Chensha Gao* (Cinnabar Paste). The condition resolves after seven days. (Li Zhongnan)
Infant fetal qi carrying heat, also caused by maternal pathogenic heat transmission, or exposure to wind during bathing after birth, leads to inability to cry and difficulty feeding, named Cuo Kou. It is particularly severe within seven days; treat with *Jifeng San* (Urgent Wind Powder). (Zhang Huan)
Frequent puckering of the mouth in children indicates disharmony of qi. The lips correspond to the Spleen, and qi originates from the Lung. Spleen deficiency fails to generate Lung qi, causing frequent puckering. *Yigong San* (Beneficial Work Powder) tonifies the Spleen to generate Lung qi effectively. (Chen Feixia)
Newborns with Goose Mouth (E Kou), Cuo Kou, and Lockjaw are affected by external wind attacking the head and navel upon birth. Moxibustion with three cones and cauterization can cure it. (*Lunao Jing*)
Qi Feng (Umbilical Wind)
Qi Feng occurs when, after cutting the umbilical cord, water-dampness and wind-cold invade the navel, flowing into the Heart and Spleen. This causes abdominal distension, swollen navel, heavy body, limb stiffness, excessive crying, inability to suckle, and potentially convulsions. If the navel edge is cyan-black and the mouth is puckered shut, it is internal convulsion and is untreatable; black nails indicate death. If heat is in the chest, causing straining and extension, it also causes navel swelling. Treat primarily with *Longdan Tang* (Gentian Decoction). (Sun Simiao)
The root of this disease lies in fetal toxins. Generally, internal qi stagnation requires expelling fetal toxins promptly without delay. Ancient formulas such as *Tianma Wan* (Gastrodia Pill), *Ming Dan* (Life-Determining Elixir), and *Zhu Yin Wan* (Cinnabar-Silver Pill) can be given酌情; even critical cases often survive. However, Qi Feng and Cuo Kou appearing within seven days have a mortality rate of nearly 100%. (*Chishui Xuanzhu*)
This condition should first be treated with *Kongtan San* (Expel Phlegm Powder) to vomit wind-phlegm, then *Yipi San* (Benefit Spleen Powder) to harmonize the spleen, and finally *Chensha Gao* (Cinnabar Paste) to calm fright. Hand/foot curling and locked jaw are untreatable. (*Leicui*)
Within seven days of birth, if Qi Feng or Cuo Kou occurs, medications are rarely effective. A miraculous method: check the infant's gums for millet-sized blisters. Dip a cotton-wrapped finger in warm water and gently rub them open; this yields divine results without medicine. (*San Yin Fang*)
Ancient theories attribute Qi Feng solely to water-dampness and wind-cold. I believe this is incomplete. Qi Feng has internal and external causes, distinguishing between treatable and untreatable cases. External causes involve wind-damp injury; internal causes involve congenital deficiency of True Yang. Men with deficient Mingmen Yang inevitably produce infants with Qi Feng. External causes manifest between days 2-4, affecting the Six Fu organs, thus treatable. Internal causes manifest between days 6-7, affecting the Five Zang organs, thus untreatable. Key indicators include frequent sneezing, excessive crying, and loose sucking reflex. (Chen Feixia)
Chui Yong (Drooping Abscess)
Six to seven days after birth, if there is a substance on the tongue resembling a reed sheath holding water, it is called Chui Yong. Wrap a long needle in cotton, leaving only a millet-sized blade exposed, and prick to bleed. Observe for one day; if unresolved, prick again. Three pricks resolve it. Those under the tongue are called Chong She (Double Tongue); those on the hard palate are called Chong E (Double Palate); those on the gums are called Chong Yin (Double Gingiva). All require pricking to bleed. After pricking, rinse with salt water and apply *Rusheng San* (Like Sage Powder) or *Yizi San* (One Character Powder). (*Qianjin Fang*)
Tongue Manifestations
Briefly extending and retracting the tongue is called Nong She (Playing Tongue); extending slowly and retracting is called Tu She (Spitting Tongue). Nong She is caused by heat in the Spleen, tightening the tongue meridians, causing frequent extension; treat with *Xiehuang San* (Drain Yellow Powder). Drinking water excessively indicates Spleen-Stomach deficiency and scanty fluids. Combined with sallow complexion, emaciation, and five-palm heat, it is Guan Syndrome (Wasting-Thirst); treat with *Hulian Wan* (Picrorhiza Pill). Nong She appearing during a serious illness is ominous. (*Xiao'er Zhijue*)
Swollen, stiff, coarse tongue filling the mouth is called Mu She (Wood Tongue), caused by excess wind-heat. Untreated, it causes suffocation and death. Take *Xiehuang San* and *Yulu Yin* (Jade Dew Drink), and apply *Xiaohuang San* externally. A small tongue attached under the main tongue is Chong She (Double Tongue); apply Pulverized Polygonum (Puhuang) internally take *Danggui Lianqiao Tang* (Angelica and Forsythia Decoction). The tongue is the sprout of the Heart; Heart heat causes ulcers and rupture; Liver stagnation causes gushing blood; Spleen closure causes white coating like snow. Generally, prioritize dispersing heat from the Upper Jiao and the Heart, Liver, and Spleen meridians. (Chu Yushi)
E Kou (Goose Mouth)
Newborns with white debris covering the tongue, resembling a goose's mouth, get this name. It is caused by excessive grain qi in utero, with Heart-Spleen heat steaming into the mouth. Wipe with well water. Apply calcined Minium (Hongdan) to remove fire toxicity. If ineffective, boil walnut shell juice and wipe with cotton-wrapped fingers. ○ *Jianyao Fang*: Grind Nitrum (Yaxiao) finely and sprinkle on the tongue, 3-5 times daily. ○ *Milu*: Mix Mulberry bark juice with Calomel (Nifen) and apply. (*Zhengzhi Zhunsheng*)
Qi Shi, Qi Chuang, Qi Tu
Infant navel swelling and dampness, persisting untreated, becomes critical by 100 days. Treat urgently with equal parts Calcined Alum (Kufan) and Dragon Bone powder, add a little Musk, and wipe the navel dry. Avoid wind when applying medicine. (Hua Boren)
Apply ash from crimson silk to the navel. ○ Ash from dried toad and Oyster Shell (Muli), each one piece, burned and powdered for application. ○ Powder from rotten grass on old roofs, applied frequently, is effective. (*Zhengzhi Zhunsheng*)
Bathwater entering the navel, or urine wetting the swaddling clothes, causes navel swelling and ulceration. If bandages loosen, wind invades the meridians, causing Wind Epilepsy. Persistent navel swelling may lead to convulsions. (*Chaoshi Bingyuan*)
Qi Tu (Navel Protrusion): Caused by loose umbilical tying during bathing, allowing dirty water to infiltrate. After ten days, the navel suddenly protrudes smoothly like an inflated bladder. Treat with *Baishaoyao Tang* (White Peony Decoction) plus Coix Seed, and apply *Waixiao San* (External Resolution Powder) topically. It will flatten naturally. (Zeng Shi)
Tai Jing (Fetal Fright)
Symptoms: High fever within the first month, rolling eyes, clenched fists, lockjaw, teeth grinding, rigid torso. Saliva flooding, vomiting, convulsions, frightened crying, retracted cheeks, open fontanelle, red cheeks, or cyan face with closed eyes. Fetal wind causing closed eyes must not be mistaken for Slow Convulsion and treated with warming medicines. First, disperse wind-pathogens and clear fright/phlegm. (Wang Kentang)
Convulsions within 100 days: True cases die after 2-3 episodes; false cases recur but do not kill. True cases are internal Fright-Epilepsy; false cases are external Wind-Cold injury. (Qian Zhongyang)
For fright in the first month, mix Pig Milk with Cinnabar (Zhensha) and Realgar (Niuhuang), and wipe inside the mouth. Divine effect. (Tian Shi)
If pig milk is unavailable, cut open a live clam, take several spoons of water, and administer. Effective.
Tai Xian (Fetal Epilepsy)
Caused by fright to the abdomen before birth, excessive sour/salty intake by the mother, or emotional disturbance damaging fetal qi. Occurs within 100 days after birth. Symptoms: Rebellious qi, phlegm production, upward gaze, opisthotonos, inability to cry. First use *Rensu Yin* (Ginseng and Perilla Drink) to harmonize, then alternate *Bu Jing Dan* (No-Fright Elixir) or *Hupo Baolong Wan* (Amber Embracing Dragon Pill). Mild cases recover; severe cases may not fully heal. (Zeng Shi)
Tai Re (Fetal Heat)
Caused by the mother consuming too many heating foods during pregnancy. The infant is born with body heat, red face, hot breath, irritability, thirst, and constipation/dysuria. Decoct *Mutong San* (Akebia Powder) for the mother to drink, allowing medicinal properties to pass through breast milk. Do not seek quick results by using cold purgatives on the infant, which may cause vomiting and major complications. Be cautious. (*Shoushi Baoyuan*)
Tai Han (Fetal Cold)
Caused by the nursing mother catching cold during pregnancy, followed by external pathogen invasion after birth. Symptoms: Pale face, cold limbs, green-black stool, cold mouth, abdominal pain, shivering. Treat with *Danggui San* (Angelica Powder). (*Shoushi Baoyuan*)
Tai Fei (Fetal Obesity)
Born with thick, fleshy muscles and ruddy complexion. After one month, gradually becomes emaciated, with red sclera, five-palm heat, difficult defecation, and salivation. Treat with Bathing Method (Medicated Bath). (*Zhengzhi Zhunsheng*)
Tai Qie (Fetal Frailty)
Born with dull complexion, thin skin, pale stools, lack of ruddiness, gasping, frequent hiccups, and listless eyes. Also treat with Bathing Method. (*Zhengzhi Zhunsheng*)
Tai Huang (Fetal Jaundice)
Caused by maternal heat transmitting to the fetus. Infant born with full-body jaundice (golden color), high fever, constipation, urine like gardenia juice, poor appetite, and incessant crying. Treat primarily with * Dihuang Tang* (Rehmannia Decoction). (*Shoushi Baoyuan*)
Tai Chi (Fetal Redness)
Caused by the pregnant mother eating excessive spicy/hot foods, leading to toxic heat accumulation in the uterus. The infant is born with red skin on the head, face, and limbs, resembling cinnabar application. Treat primarily with *Qingre Jiedu Tang* (Clear Heat and Resolve Toxicity Decoction). For heat excess with constipation, use Jiangshi Huadu Dan (Jiang's Detoxification Elixir). (*Yizong Jinjian*)
Skinless
Two types of newborns born without skin: 1. Congenital Syphilis (Yangmei Jiedu) transmitted from parents, causing red rot on upper or lower body, sometimes turning purple-black. 2. Premature birth, causing whole-body immersion, red, tender, and shiny skin. Both are malignant prognoses. For Syphilis residue: Internally take *Huanji Xiaodu San* (Transform Skin and Eliminate Toxin Powder); externally apply *Qingliang Gao* (Cooling Paste) or *Ehuang San* (Goose Yellow Powder). For insufficient fetal origin: Internally take *Danggui Yin* (Angelica Drink); externally dust with Rice Flour. (*Yizong Jinjian*)
Newborns with skin resembling burns/scalds are caused by the mother's excessive consumption of rich/greasy foods. Mother takes *Qingwei San* (Clear Stomach Powder); infant drinks a few spoonfuls. Newborns with no skin but not red are due to maternal Spleen Qi deficiency; apply Rice Flour. Those who are red and febrile are due to maternal Stomach Fire excess; apply Gypsum Powder.
The *Classic* states: Spleen governs muscles, Lung governs skin/hair. Thus, the disease is in the Spleen and Lung. (*Zhengzhi Zhunsheng*)
Chi You Feng (Red Roaming Wind)
Caused by fetal toxic heat or excessive warmth after birth, causing toxic heat to evaporate outward. Skin becomes red, hot, and swollen, resembling cinnabar, wandering unpredictably across the body. Common on head/limbs; if it enters the Heart/Abdomen, death ensues. Treat with *Xijiao Jiedu Yin* (Rhino Horn Detoxification Drink); if ineffective, follow with *Lanye San* (Isatis Leaf Powder). External treatment uses Bian Fa (Bloodletting with stone needle) to drain toxic blood. Severe toxicity applies *Shengong San*; mild cases need no paste. Infants under 100 days contraindicate bloodletting due to fragile muscles. Use Pork Slice Method or paste of Adzuki Bean Powder and Egg White. Very effective. (*Yizong Jinjian*)
