《巢氏病源》中关于小儿唇青的论述：小儿脏腑之气不和，血虚导致寒气侵袭，就会出现口唇发青。也有因脏腑气热，嘴唇生疮，风冷之气侵入所致。即使疮疡虽然痊愈，但血色未能恢复，因此导致嘴唇发青。

According to *Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Master Chao) regarding the condition of blue lips in infants: When an infant's internal organ qi is disharmonious and blood deficiency allows cold pathogenic factors to invade, the lips will turn blue. There are also cases where internal organ heat causes sores on the lips, allowing wind-cold pathogens to enter. Even after the sores have healed, if the blood color does not recover, the lips remain blue.
*Xian Ren Shui Jian* (Immortal's Water Mirror) records: Infants within one hundred days of birth may present with unexplained blue lips and mouth, refusing to suckle or move. The Immortal Formula consists of: Da Lan (Isatis Root, dried in shade), Ling Xiao Hua (Crape Myrtle Flower), Ya Xiao (Mirabilite), and Shu Da Huang (Sichuan Rhubarb), each in equal parts. These are ground into a powder and formed into pills using sheep marrow. One pill is crushed and administered; the infant can then suckle. After my retirement, while traveling through the Sanjiang region of Huxiang, I long remembered this formula prepared by cultivators of cloud and water. I specifically used it to save over a thousand critically ill patients, all achieving remarkable efficacy. (Note: It may be suitable for heat syndromes but is difficult to use for cold syndromes.)
(Attached: Sores in the Throat)
Mr. Mao: Infants born with the condition of "Zha Sai Feng Yong" (Deceptive Cheek Wind Obstruction). Symptoms include high fever throughout the body, red swelling in beads along the ears, and fleshy tumors arising in the throat. This condition stems from accumulated heat that surges upward when severe. Treatment involves first administering a mild dose of *Duoming San* (Life-Rescuing Powder) to induce vomiting and purging of wind-phlegm (see section on Acute/Chronic Convulsions), followed by *Yunqi San* (Qi-Balancing Powder) to tonify (see section on Stomach Qi Disharmony), then *Zhusha Gao* (Cinnabar Ointment) combined with *Tian Zhu Huang San* (Indian Bamboo Sap Powder) (see section on Heat Syndromes), and applying *Cong Xian Gao* (Scallion Saliva Ointment) to the swollen cheeks (see section on Fontanelle Wind/Cold Damage). With such regulation, recovery occurs in three days. If malignant signs appear, there is fear of transmission to acute convulsions.
*Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats sudden toxic swelling attaching to the throat and neck in infants, with high fever interfering with suckling:
Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), She Gan (Belamcandae Rhizoma), Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), each 1 liang.
These three ingredients are cut, boiled in 1.5 sheng of water to yield 0.8 sheng. An infant of one year divides this into three doses. The dregs are applied to the swollen area, warmed when cooled. For older children, adjust dosage as appropriate.
*Qian Jin Fang* Sheng Ma Tang (Cimicifuga Decoction): Treats infant sore throat; if toxic vapors are abundant causing pharyngeal obstruction, it also treats adults with throat discomfort:
Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), She Gan (Belamcandae Rhizoma), each 3 liang; Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), 1 liang.
These four ingredients are cut, boiled in 6 sheng of water to yield 2 sheng. Strain and divide into three doses.
*Qian Jin Fang* treats sudden swelling of Xuan Yong (Hanging Abscess) due to heat:
Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), in equal parts.
Grind into powder, apply a small amount to the tongue.
*Qian Jin Fang* Another Prescription:
Salt powder, apply with the tip of chopsticks to open the mouth, five times daily.
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* (Supplement to Essential Prescriptions) treats swelling in the throat and hanging flesh preventing eating:
First, insert a bamboo tube into the mouth, then thrust a heated iron rod through the bamboo tube. Healing occurs in no more than a few applications.
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* ointment for mouth ulcers from heat disease, sores in the throat preventing intake of fluids:
Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), She Gan (Belamcandae Rhizoma), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), each 1 liang; Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), 0.5 liang (prepared, peeled); Bai Mi (White Honey), 4 liang.
Cut these five ingredients, first decoct in 4 liang of pig fat until it becomes an ointment that solidifies upon contact with the ground (ensure it is not too hot). Add the herbs, simmer gently until Fu Zi turns yellow. Strain, add honey, heat again to blend, and store in a vessel to cool. Take a piece the size of an almond kernel, hold in the mouth, swallow the juice 4-5 times daily until cured.
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* treats sore throat with difficulty breathing. If toxic vapors cause choking or attack the throat:
Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Cortex), 0.5 liang; Xing Ren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum), 1 liang (remove tips and skins, roast).
Grind into powder, wrap in cotton like a date, hold in mouth and swallow the juice.
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* Another Prescription:
Prick the nail bed of the little finger to bleed; healing follows immediately. Pricking either hand yields mysterious and instant results.
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* treats sudden throat swelling preventing eating:
Crush and roast a bunch of Chinese chives, apply to the affected area; replace when cool.
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* Another Prescription:
Hold Jing Li (Buddleja Juice) in the mouth and swallow gradually.
*Qian Jin Yi Fang* Another Prescription:
Hold good-quality vinegar in the mouth; also effective for oral sores.
*Wai Tai Mi Yao* (Prescriptions from the Outer Cabinet) citing *Gu Jin Lu Yan*: Qing Mu Xiang Tang (Blue Musk Fragrance Decoction) treats sudden throat pain and swelling with difficulty during spring and summer:
Qing Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), 2 liang; Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma, remove hairs), 1 liang; Bai Tou Weng (Pulsatillae Radix), 1 liang.
Cut these three ingredients, boil in 5 sheng of water to yield 1.5 sheng. Divide into three warm doses. Infants take 1 ge per dose. Avoid pork and cold water.
*Wai Tao Mi Yao* citing *Qian Jin Fang* treats sudden toxic swelling attaching to the throat and neck in infants, with high fever interfering with suckling:
Decoct peach bark juice, 3 sheng, and administer.
*Sheng Hui Fang* (Holy Grace Formulas) treats infant throat swelling, pain, and suffocation:
Tang Lang Ke (Mantis Egg Case from Mulberry Branch), 1 liang (burn to ash); Ma Bo (Polyporus Umbrellatus), 0.5 liang.
Grind these uniformly, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of a soybean. For children under three, dissolve three pills in decocted Xi Jiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu) soup. For children over three, gradually increase the dose.
*Sheng Hui Fang* treats sudden toxic swelling attaching to the throat in infants, with high fever interfering with suckling:
Ma Lin Zi (Iris Tectori Semen), 0.5 liang; water 1 zhan. Decoct to 0.5 zhan, strain. Administer warm at any time, adjusting dosage based on the child's size.
*Sheng Hui Fang* Another Prescription:
Finely chop Niu Bang Gen (Arctii Radix), crush to extract juice, administer gradually for verified efficacy.
*Sheng Hui Fang* Another Prescription:
