〔灸法〕
田氏取两乳前各一寸五分上两行,三骨罅间,六处各三壮,炷如麦,春夏从下灸
上,秋冬从上灸下。庄氏取九家灰一斗,盛簸箕中,令儿合面印胸迹,于龟胸、
从上当中及两边,令三姓人同下火,各于灰上灸三壮,弃灰河流或水中。
【朱丹溪】治疗小儿红鼻:
用雄黄、黄丹(各取等量),以无根水调和后外敷。
或者使用菖蒲半叶,经酒蒸制后研为细末,调服,可解除食物中毒。(所谓无根水,是指从天而降的雨水,用碗盛接而来的。)
【薛己】说,鼻色发红,是脾胃实热所致,使用泻黄散。若微红,则是脾经虚热,使用异功散加升麻、柴胡。若颜色深黄,使用《济生方》中的犀角地黄汤,之后再用杨氏地黄散。若呈淡白色,使用六君子汤。
【杨氏】地黄散:治疗营分有热,肺气壅塞导致的鼻出血。
生地黄、赤芍药、当归身、川芎(各取等量)。
以上药材,每次服用二三钱,加水煎煮至熟,加入少许蒲黄。春夏季节鼻出血,加入少许地黄汁和蒲黄;秋冬季节鼻出血,加入少许车前子汁。
【钱乙】肺热胀满,邪气攻冲胸膈,就会形成龟胸。另外,乳母多吃五辛(葱、蒜、韭、薤、兴渠)也会导致此病。
【张涣】乳母在哺乳时,常应挤掉残留的乳汁,夏天要常洗净乳房,挤掉热性的乳汁,如果让婴儿饮用热性乳汁,会损伤肺气,导致胸部高耸胀满,使婴儿胸部高耸如龟背,这就叫做龟胸。
【曾世荣】这个病症是因为风痰停聚成饮,积聚在心胸部位,再次感受风热。肺为五脏之华盖,位于膈上,水气泛溢则肺随之浮起,日久凝结成为痰,停滞在心胸,加上风热在内发作,其外部症状表现为嘴唇红、面色赤、咳嗽气喘急促,导致胸骨高耸如倒扣的手掌,名叫龟胸。治疗方法,宜宽肺化痰、利膈,以清除肺经的痰饮。先用五苓散配合宽气饮,用姜汁葱汤调服;其次用清肺饮、雄黄散、碧玉丸、如意膏进行治疗。如果使用上述药物后,病情好转又复发并发生传变,出现眼睛直视、痰涎上涌,兼有抽搐,那就难以治愈了。
【薛己】龟胸、龟背,多因小儿元气未充实,腠理不致密,风邪乘虚而入,或者痰饮郁结,风热交相攻击所致。治法应当以调补血气为主,辅以清热消痰。如果是由于乳母食用膏粱厚味(油腻精细的食物)引起的,应当用清胃散治疗乳母,婴儿也服用少量。

田氏选取两侧乳头前方各一寸五分处的两行,在三块骨骼缝隙之间,共六处,每处灸三壮,艾炷如麦粒大,春夏季节从下往上灸,秋冬季节从上往下灸。
庄氏选取九家人的灰一斗,盛放在簸箕中,让婴儿面部朝下印出胸部的痕迹,在龟胸最高处正中及两边,让三个不同姓氏的人同时点火,分别在灰烬上灸三壮,然后将灰烬丢弃到河流或水中。
[Danxi] Treatment for infantile red nose:
Use Xionghuang (Realgar) and Huangdan (Lead Oxide) in equal parts, mix with Wugen Shui (Rainwater collected directly from the sky) to apply externally.
Alternatively, use half a leaf of Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), steam it with wine, grind into powder, and take orally to resolve food toxicity. (Wugen Shui refers to rainwater collected directly from the sky using a bowl.)
[Xue] stated that a red nasal color indicates Excess Heat in the Spleen and Stomach, treated with Xiehuang San (Elegant Powder to Drain the Spleen). If slightly red, it indicates Deficiency Heat in the Spleen Meridian, treated with Yigong San (Extraordinary Efficacy Powder) plus Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) and Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix). If the color is deep yellow, use Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhinoceros Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) from *Jisheng Fang*, followed by Yangshi Dihuang San (Yang's Rehmannia Powder). If pale white, use Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction).
[Yangshi] Dihuang San (Rehmannia Powder): Treats heat in the Ying (Nutrient) level and Lung congestion causing epistaxis.
Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Chishaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Dangguishen (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) in equal parts.
Take 2-3 qian per dose, decoct in water until cooked, add a small amount of Puhuang (Typhae Pollen). For epistaxis in spring and summer, add a little Dihuangzhi (Rehmanniae Juice) and Puhuang; for autumn and winter, add a little Cheqianzi Zhi (Plantaginis Seed Juice).
[Qian] Lung heat causing distension and fullness attacks the chest and diaphragm, resulting in Guixiong (Turtle Chest). Additionally, if the nursing mother consumes excessive Wu Xin (Five Pungent Spices), this condition may also arise.
[Zhang] When nursing, the mother should frequently express and discard residual milk. In summer, wash the breasts thoroughly and discard hot milk. If the infant drinks hot milk, it damages Lung Qi, leading to high and distended chest, making the infant's chest protrude like a turtle shell, named Guixiong.
[Zeng] This condition arises from Wind-Phlegm stagnating as fluid accumulation in the chest and heart, compounded by external Wind-Heat. The Lung, being the canopy of the five zang organs, resides above the diaphragm. When water qi overflows, the lung floats; over time, it condenses into phlegm, stagnating in the chest and heart. Combined with internal Wind-Heat eruption, external signs include red lips, flushed face, coughing, and panting, causing the sternum to protrude like an inverted palm, named Guixiong. Treatment method: broaden the Lung, transform phlegm, and unblock the diaphragm to eliminate Lung meridian phlegm-fluid. First, use Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Poria Pill) combined with Kuanqi Yin (Qi-Widening Drink), taken with ginger juice and scallion decoction. Subsequently, treat with Qingfei Yin (Lung-Clearing Drink), Xionghuang San (Realgar Powder), Biyu Wan (Jasper Pill), and Ruyi Gao (As-Desired Ointment). If previous medications fail and the condition recurs or transforms, presenting with fixed gaze, surging phlegm-saliva, and convulsions, it becomes difficult to treat.
[Xue] Guixiong (Turtle Chest) and Beigui (Turtle Back) often occur because the infant's Yuan Qi (Original Qi) is not yet sufficient, and the Couli (interstices/skin pores) are not dense, allowing Wind pathogens to invade. Alternatively, it results from Phlegm-fluid stagnation and mutual attack of Wind-Heat. The method should primarily regulate and tonify Blood and Qi, assisted by clearing heat and resolving phlegm. If caused by the nursing mother consuming rich and greasy foods, treat the mother with Qingwei San (Stomach-Clearing Powder), and the infant should take a small amount.
*Shenghui Fang* Dahuang Wan (Rhubarb Pill): Treats Guixiong, Lung heat stagnation, and chest/diaphragm fullness.
Chuan Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 7.5 qian, lightly stir-fried), Tianmendong (Asparagi Radix, baked), Baihe (Lilii Bulbus), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, bran-fried until slightly yellow), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis), Sangbaipi (Mori Cortex), Tinglizi (Descurainiae Semen seu Lepidii Semen, roasted between papers until purple), Chuan Pu Xiao (Natrii Sulfas, 5 qian each).
Grind into fine powder, form pills the size of mung beans with honey. Take five pills dissolved in warm water at any time, adjusting dosage according to the infant's age and size. *Youke Leicui* removes Pu Xiao and adds Baihe and Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum).
[Zhang] Baihe Dan (Lily Pill) (Modification of Dahuang Wan):
Baihe (1 liang), Chuan Pu Xiao, Xingren (soaked in water, skin and tips removed), Sanggen Baipi (Mori Cortex), Mutong, Chuan Dahuang, Tianmendong (core removed, 0.5 liang each).
Grind into extremely fine powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of millet seeds. Take ten pills per dose, swallowed with rice drink, adjusting dosage according to the infant's size.
[Zeng] Wuling San (see Jing/Fright section), Kuanqi Yin (see Jing/Fright section), Qingfei Yin (see Cough section), Xionghuang San (see Jing/Fright section), Biyu Wan (see Cough section), Rusheng Gao (see Panting section).
[Dan] Formula for treating infantile Guixiong:
Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex, wine-fried), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix, wine-fried), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Shanzha (Crataegi Fructus), Weilingxian (Sinomenii Caulis), add Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix). Furthermore, after purgation, add Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix).
Grind into powder, form pills with refined honey. Take with warm water after meals.
External Treatment:
Rub the sternum with Gui Yu (Turtle Urine); it will heal.
[Moxibustion Method]
Tian selected two rows on both sides, one cun five fen anterior to each nipple, in the gaps between three bones, totaling six points. Apply three moxa cones per point, cone size like a wheat grain. In spring and summer, moxa from bottom to top; in autumn and winter, from top to bottom.
Zhuang selected one dou of ash from nine families, placed in a winnowing basket. Let the infant press their face onto the chest to leave a mark. At the highest point of the Guixiong (center) and both sides, have three people of different surnames ignite fire simultaneously. Moxa three cones on the ash at each spot, then discard the ash into a river or water.
