〔汤〕哺露者,因乳哺不消,脾胃衰弱,渐不能食,血气减损,肌肉不荣,柴骨
羸露,吸吸苦热,谓之哺露也。宜麝香进食丸(方见积癖)。
〔曾〕哺露者,亦由乳哺不节,损于脾胃,脾胃损而饮食减,形容羸瘦,则脏腑
之气不能宣通,时间有热,谓之哺露。此候与丁奚相去不远,但食多吐逆,脏气虚,
冷而泄泻无度,粪中有虫,治法同前丁奚证药,惟加养脏汤服之(方见赤白痢)。

《伤寒论》人病有宿食,何以别之。师曰∶寸口脉浮而大,按之反涩,故知有宿
食,当下之,宜大承气汤(伤寒)。然同一发热,而伤食者惟肚腹之热为甚,且粪极酸臭,
夜间潮热,尤伤积之明验也。小儿宿食不消者,胃纳水谷而脾化之,儿幼不知撙节
胃之所纳,脾气不足以胜之,故不消也。神曲、麦芽之属,皆腐化之物,昔肾已
谓能伤胃中生发之气矣,况进而三棱、莪术乎,况又进而牵牛、大黄、巴豆乎,脾

【汤】哺露病,是因为乳食不能消化,导致脾胃虚弱,逐渐无法进食,气血亏损,肌肉失去滋养,身体消瘦如柴骨外露,伴有持续的苦热感,这称为哺露。适宜使用麝香进食丸(方剂见积癖)。
【曾】哺露病,也是由于哺乳喂养不节制,损伤了脾胃。脾胃受损则饮食减少,形体消瘦,脏腑之气不能宣通,偶尔出现发热,这称为哺露。此证与丁奚证相差不远,但哺露症多表现为呕吐逆反,脏气虚弱,因寒而泄泻无度,粪便中有虫。治疗方法同前所述的丁奚证药物,只是加上养脏汤服用(方剂见赤白痢)。
《圣惠方》人参丸:治疗小儿哺露,因脱衣受风、湿冷水浴,导致腹部胀大,时常痢疾,或寒热往来如疟疾状,不想吃东西,即使吃了也不能长肌肉,或者食物不消化,四肢消瘦。
药材:人参、麦门冬(去心,焙干)、半夏(用汤洗七遍,去滑腻)、黄芩、川大黄(微炒)、白茯苓、柴胡、黄芩(各三分)、诃梨勒(煨,只用皮)、甘草(炙至微红,切碎)、鳖甲(涂醋,炙令黄色,去裙边,各一两)、川芎(半两)。
以上药材捣碎,过筛成末,用炼蜜制成如麻子大的丸药。一至二岁的幼儿用米粥饮送服三丸,四至五岁幼儿服五丸,每日三次,根据年龄大小加减剂量。
《伤寒论》中记载:病人有宿食,如何辨别?老师说:寸口脉浮而大,按之反而涩滞,所以知道有宿食,应当用攻下法,适宜用大承气汤(出自伤寒论)。然而同样是发热,伤食者只有肚腹的热感特别严重,且粪便极酸臭,夜间潮热,这是伤积的明显证据。小儿宿食不消,是因为胃受纳水谷而脾运化它,幼儿不懂得节制胃的受纳,脾气不足以胜任运化,所以不消化。神曲、麦芽这类药物,都是腐化之物,过去肾已认为能损伤胃中生发之气,何况进而使用三棱、莪术呢?何况又进而使用牵牛、大黄、巴豆呢?脾气一旦因食物受伤,再次因药物受伤,至于使用攻下法时,气已经一脱了,所剩无几。所以消食的药物不可多用,攻下积滞的药物,尤其不可不审慎辨证是否可下或不得不下,然后才使用。钱乙论述食不消,认为是脾胃冷故不能消化,应当用补脾益黄散主治。
保和丸:治疗饮食停滞,胸膈痞满,嗳气吞酸,或吐泻腹痛。(加入白术一两即大安丸)

以上为末,用粥做成桐子大小的丸药。每次服用三十丸,用白开水送下。
愚按:前方是行气克滞的药剂,如果元气没有亏损,因突然停乳食而导致此证的,适宜用此消导法。如果元气虚弱而被乳食所伤的,必须以调补胃气为主,辅以消导。如果乳食已消而作呕的,是胃气被伤,应当用异功散补益。不宜仍用前药,以免重损胃气,医者需审慎。

三棱散:主治各种停滞,疳积发热,泻痢酸臭,水谷不化,常服和脾胃,进饮食,长肌肉,益神气。
药材:人参(去芦,七钱半)、三棱(炮,锉)、净香附(各一两半)、青皮(去白)、益智仁、陈皮(去白)、枳壳(去穣,锉片,麸炒)、神曲(炒)、谷芽(洗,焙)、半夏(制)、莪术(醋煮透,滤干,锉焙)、大黄(半生,半炮)、紫苏(去老梗,各半两)、甘草(半生,半炙,一两二钱)。
以上切碎,每服二钱,水一盏,姜三片,仓米百粒,煎至七分。随时温服。气虚者,加白茯苓一两。
莪术丸:和脾益胃,消进饮食,宽膈快气,悦色清神。

以上除槟榔、丁香、木香不过火,及牵牛末外,其余七味锉焙,仍同槟榔、木香、丁香为末,临用时加入牵牛末和匀,用水煮面糊丸绿豆大。每服三十丸至五十丸,随时服用,用淡姜汤送下,温茶、温酒皆好,幼儿小者,丸粟米大,粒数、下法如前。

以上药材捣碎,粗罗为散,每服一钱,以水一小盏,煎至五分,去滓。根据幼儿大小分减,温服,每日四五服。

[Tang] Bubulu (Infantile Emaciation with Fever) is caused by the failure of milk and food to digest, leading to Spleen-Stomach weakness, gradual inability to eat, depletion of Blood and Qi, lack of nourishment to muscles, emaciation with bones protruding like firewood, accompanied by persistent bitter heat, which is called Bubulu. The Moxiang Jinshi Wan (Musk Appetite-Enhancing Pill) is suitable (formula see Jipi).
[Zeng] Bubulu is also due to irregular breastfeeding and feeding, damaging the Spleen-Stomach. When the Spleen-Stomach is damaged, food intake decreases, the body becomes emaciated, and the Qi of the Zang-Fu organs cannot circulate freely, occasionally presenting with fever, which is called Bubulu. This condition is not far from Dingxi (Infantile Abdominal Distension), but Bubulu often presents with vomiting and reflux, deficiency of Zang Qi, profuse diarrhea due to cold, and worms in the stool. The treatment method is the same as that for Dingxi mentioned previously, except adding Yangzang Tang (Nourish the Viscera Decoction) for administration (formula see Chi Bai Li).
*Shenghui Fang* Renshen Wan (Ginseng Pill): Treats infantile Bubulu caused by exposure to wind after removing clothes, bathing in cold water, resulting in abdominal distension, frequent dysentery, or alternating chills and fever resembling malaria, anorexia, failure to gain weight even after eating, indigestion, and emaciation of the four limbs.
Herbs: Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix, heart removed, dried), Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber, washed seven times in hot water to remove slipperiness), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, lightly stir-fried), Fuling (Poria), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) (each 3 fen), Helile (Terminalia Chebulae Fructus, roasted, peel used), Gancao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried until slightly red, sliced), Biejia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum, coated with vinegar, roasted until yellow, skirt removed; each 1 liang), Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizome) (0.5 liang).
The above herbs are crushed, sifted into powder, and made into pills the size of hemp seeds using refined honey. Infants aged one to two years take three pills with rice gruel drink; those aged four to five years take five pills, three times a day, adjusted according to age and size.
*Shanghan Lun* states: If a patient has residual food (Su Shi), how can it be distinguished? The Master said: The Cun Kou pulse is floating and large, but feels rough upon pressure; thus, it is known that there is residual food, and purgation should be applied. Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) is suitable (*Shanghan Lun*). However, although both present with fever, in cases of food injury, the heat in the abdomen is particularly severe, and the feces are extremely sour and foul-smelling; tidal fever at night is a clear sign of food accumulation. In infants, residual food fails to digest because the Stomach receives water and grain while the Spleen transforms them; infants do not know moderation in Stomach reception, and the Spleen Qi is insufficient to handle it, hence indigestion. Shenqu (Medicated Leaven) and Maiya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus) are substances of fermentation/putrefaction; it was previously believed that Kidney issues could damage the generating Qi of the Stomach, let alone the use of Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma) and Ezhu (Curcumae Rhizoma); even more so, the use of Qianniu (Pharbitidis Semen), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), and Badou (Crotonis Fructus). Once Spleen Qi is injured by food, and then again by medicine, when purgation is finally used, Qi may already collapse, leaving very little remaining. Therefore, digestive medicines should not be used excessively. Purgatives for clearing accumulation must be used only after carefully assessing whether purgation is indicated or absolutely necessary. Qian Yi discussed food indigestion, attributing it to Cold in the Spleen-Stomach preventing digestion, and recommended Bupi Yihuang San (Spleen-Nourishing Yellow-Regulating Powder) as the primary treatment.
Baohe Wan (Preserve Harmony Pill): Treats food stagnation, chest and diaphragm fullness and oppression, belching with acid regurgitation, or vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. (Adding Baizhu 1 liang makes Da'an Wan (Great Peace Pill)).
Herbs: Shenqu (Medicated Leaven, stir-fried), Shanzha (Crataegi Fructus), Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber), Fuling (Poria) (each 1 liang), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), Luobozhi (Radish Seed, stir-fried) (5 qian).
Made into powder, formed into pills the size of paulownia seeds using rice gruel. Take 30 pills per dose, swallowed with plain warm water.
Commentary: The preceding formula is an agent for moving Qi and breaking stagnation. If Yuan Qi (Primal Qi) is not deficient, and this condition is caused by sudden cessation of milk/food, this resolving method is appropriate. If Yuan Qi is weak and injured by milk/food, the main treatment must be regulating and tonifying Stomach Qi, assisted by resolving methods. If vomiting occurs after the food has digested, it indicates Stomach Qi has been injured, and Yigong San (Yi-Gong Powder) should be used to tonify. Do not continue using the previous medicines, as this would further damage Stomach Qi; practitioners must exercise caution.
Muxiang Da'an Wan (Aucklandia Great Peace Pill)
Herbs: Muxiang (Costi Radix) (2 qian), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (each 3 qian), Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), Shanzhare (Crataegi Fructus), Laifuzi (Radish Seed, stir-fried), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), Shenqu (Medicated Leaven, stir-fried), Maiya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus, stir-fried), Sharen (Amomi Fructus) (each 1.5 qian).

Qisheng Wan (Seven-Sage Pill)
Herbs: Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma), Pengzhi (Curcumae Rhizoma), Chuanlian (Toosendan Fructus), Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Yuanhua (Genkwa Flos), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum).
Equal parts. First, soak Yuanhua in vinegar overnight, stir-fry until nearly dry. Then add Pengzhi and Sanleng, stir-fry until red. Add Chenpi etc., stir-fry together until slightly scorched, remove and make into powder. The aforementioned herbs (Sanleng, Pengzhi, etc.) are each 0.5 liang. Xingren is also 0.5 liang, soaked in water, skin and tips removed, double kernels discarded, finely ground. Add 20 grains of Badou (Crotonis Fructus) with oil removed, mix evenly, form into pills the size of millet seeds using vinegar paste. One-year-old infants usually take 2 pills, taken before bed with warm water. This allows food eaten during the day to digest overnight, preventing Kan disease (infantile malnutrition), transforming emaciated children into healthy ones. Modern pediatric practice removes Badou and uses only Xingren, still named Qisheng Wan.

Crushed. Each dose 2 qian, with 1 cup of water, 3 slices of ginger, 100 grains of barn rice, decocted to 0.7 cup. Warm take at any time. For Qi deficiency, add Fuling (Poria) 1 liang.

Herbs: Ezhu (Curcumae Rhizoma, processed, sliced), Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma, processed, sliced), Jing Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) (these three each 4 liang, soaked in strong vinegar for 7 days, slow-fire boiled dry, then dried), Binglang (Arecae Semen, thinly sliced) (1 liang), Sheng Qianniu (Pharbitidis Semen, raw, powder separately ground) (1 liang), Qingmuxiang (Tasmanniae Radix, rhizome removed), Guya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus, washed, dried), Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride, white pith removed) (each 0.5 liang), Bichengqie (Schweinitiae Fructus), Dingxiang (Caryophylli Flos), Nanmuxiang (Agarwood) (each 4 qian).

They are powdered together with Binglang, Nanmuxiang, and Dingxiang. Before use, mix in the Qianniu powder. Form into pills the size of mung beans using water-boiled wheat paste. Take 30-50 pills per dose, at any time, with light ginger water. Warm tea or warm wine are also acceptable. For small infants, make pills the size of millet seeds; dosage and administration as above.
