小儿的各种疾病,大多是因为哺乳和饮食没有节制,过度饱食导致脾胃受损,无法消化食物,停滞而成积滞。在初起阶段,无论是乳积、食积还是气积,都应当使用木香丸、消积丸之类的药物来消除积滞;对于惊积,则根据病情的轻重,选用辰砂膏或青龙丸进行疏导治疗,同时配合调理气机、和胃的方法以求痊愈。
大凡小儿腹部出现发热、胀满或坚硬的情况,都是由体内实邪所致,治法应当采用疏通利下的方法。所以李东垣说:食物是有形的物质,损伤了它,适宜通过损耗谷物(即消食导滞)来治疗,其次不如采用消导之法,如丁香烂饭丸、枳术丸等方剂主治。病情稍重的,用攻下化积的三棱消积丸、木香见[注:原文此处可能有缺字或异体字,通常指木香丸类]等方剂主治。病情特别严重的,或者采用催吐,或者采用泻下,如瓜蒂散、备急丸等方剂主治,以病情平复为度。这是因为脾脏已经受伤,如果再用药损伤,会使营运之气减少削弱,食物更加难以消化。所以《素问·至真要大论》中说:用大毒性的药物治疗疾病,病去十分之六就应停药;用小毒性的药物,病去十分之七停药;用常毒性的药物,病去十分之八停药;用无毒性的药物,病去十分之九停药。肉类、水果、蔬菜等食物,也绝不能过量食用而损伤正气。
大凡人的身体以胃气为本,治病也是如此。小儿的胃气有虚证和实证之分:虚证表现为呕吐、不能进食;实证表现为痞闷胀满、内热。虚证应当补益,实证应当攻损,达到平衡就可以了。胃虚者,使用木香、丁皮、浓朴、肉豆蔻等药剂;胃实者,使用北桔梗、枳壳、柴胡、大黄等药剂。如果胃中有停寒,那么干姜、官桂、丁香也不可缺少,关键在于斟酌剂量,只给少量的药量。这就是所谓的“平胃心”(调和脾胃),因为脾之母是心,进食不仅在于调和脾脏,盖因火能生土,应当在入脾胃的药中加入清心之药,这样两全其美。古人进食方剂中多用益智仁,就是这个道理。

Various diseases in children are mostly caused by unregulated breastfeeding and dieting. Excessive fullness damages the spleen and stomach, leading to an inability to digest food, which stagnates and forms accumulation (Ji). At the initial stage, regardless of whether it is milk accumulation, food accumulation, or qi accumulation, formulas such as Muxiang Wan (Wood Fragrance Pill) and Xiaoji Wan (Eliminate Accumulation Pill) should be used to eliminate the accumulation. For fright accumulation (Jing Ji), based on the severity, Chen Sha Gao (Cinnabar Paste) or Qinglong Wan (Azure Dragon Pill) should be selected for guidance and drainage. Treatment should also include regulating Qi and harmonizing the Stomach to achieve recovery.
Generally, if a child's abdomen presents with heat, distension, or hardness, it is due to internal excess. The treatment method should be to dredge and purge downwards. Therefore, Li Dongyuan stated: Food is a tangible substance; when injured, it is appropriate to reduce the grain intake (digestive enzymes/action). Secondly, it is better to use digestion-promoting methods, such as Dingxiang Lanfan Wan (Clove Rice Pill) or Zhizhu Wan (Immature Bitter Orange and Atractylodes Pill). For slightly more severe cases, aggressive transformation formulas like Sanling Xiaoji Wan (Curcuma Longa Accumulation-Eliminating Pill) or Muxiang Jian [Note: Textual variant] Wan are indicated. For particularly severe cases, either emesis or purgation is used, such as Gouti San (Seed of Melon Trichosanthes Powder) or Beijie Wan (Urgent Rescue Pill), aiming for equilibrium. This is because the Spleen is already injured; further medication injury would deplete the transporting and transforming Qi, making food even harder to digest. Thus, the *Suwen: Zhi Zhen Yao Da Lun* states: When treating disease with highly toxic substances, stop when six-tenths of the disease is gone; with moderately toxic substances, stop at seven-tenths; with commonly toxic substances, stop at eight-tenths; with non-toxic substances, stop at nine-tenths. Meat, fruit, and vegetable foods must not be overconsumed to avoid damaging healthy Qi.
The human body relies on Stomach Qi as its foundation, and this applies equally to treating diseases. Children's Stomach Qi can be deficient or excessive. Deficiency manifests as vomiting and anorexia; excess manifests as epigastric stuffiness, fullness, and internal heat. Deficiency should be tonified, and excess should be reduced, to achieve balance. For Stomach deficiency, formulas containing Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Dingpi (Cortex Cinnamomi), Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), and Roudoukou (Myristicae Semen) are used. For Stomach excess, formulas containing Beiju Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), and Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) are used. If there is cold retention in the Stomach, Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Guigui (Cinnamomi Ramulus), and Dingxiang (Eugeniae Flos) cannot be omitted. The key lies in dosage adjustment, administering only small doses. This is referred to as "Ping Wei Xin" (Calming the Stomach and Heart); since the Mother of the Spleen is the Heart, nourishment is not just about harmonizing the Spleen. Fire generates Earth, so heart-calming herbs should be incorporated into Stomach and Spleen formulas to benefit both. This is why ancient formulas for promoting appetite often used Yizhiren (Alpinia Oxyphylla Fructus).
