余男之云同年泮友胡增奇，生男四日，内地距四十里许，不便邀看，来与余说∶面上黄
色，身有微烧。余揣脐风，黄色必不通面，因问眼内何如。渠说亦有黄色势样。余曰∶定是

这种病症是由于孕妇经常洗热水澡，或者长时间睡在火炕上，又或者过多食用煎炸、炒制及辛辣食物所致。其症状表现为丹毒发作于头部、面部和四肢。皮肤呈现红色且游走不定，治疗时先用天保采薇汤进行解表发散，接着使用大连翘饮。如果是因哺乳不当引发的丹毒，且伴有便秘，适宜使用四顺清凉饮通便，病自然痊愈。
惊风和风痉名称不同但症状相同，例如面色发青、抽搐强直、牙关紧闭、身体发热且背部僵硬就是这类症状；如果眼睛直视或眼球窜动，则最为难治。治疗时应先拿取精门和威灵两个穴位以及昆仑穴，片刻之后弯曲婴儿的小指并用力揉搓外劳宫穴，随即用元宵火疗法固定病情，然后服用猪乳膏。此症是由于孕妇性格刚烈，情绪失控、摔打碰撞，导致心血受损，反映给胎儿，加上外部感受风邪相互触发而发病。
胎黄是由于孕妇感受湿热之邪传给胞胎，所以婴儿出生后，面目及全身都呈现金黄色，伴有高热、便秘、尿色深红等症状。治疗使用地黄茵陈汤。
我的同窗好友方孟居先生喜得贵子，孩子刚出生不久，整个面部青紫如靛蓝染色，清晨时分急忙敲门，我整理衣袖前往诊治，判断这是极度严重的胎寒证。按压精门和威灵两穴无反应，弯曲小指揉搓外劳宫穴，随即用元宵火疗法加灸肺俞穴各一壮、少商穴各一壮，随后喂奶。我知道孩子必然会呕吐，预先用藿香煎汤备用。果然呕吐后，给孩子服下藿香汤。早晨进食时看到天庭部位青色消退，到了中午整个面部都变红了。这是通过观察面色来验证病症的一个征象。
方姓人家有个孩子，出生七日内不肯吸吮乳汁，当时我在郡城，请其他医生误诊为脐风。我回来后，在半路拦住请求诊治。见其嘴唇极度干燥，面色红中带暗，发热也很严重，推测不吸吮乳汁的原因必然是牙关肿硬。用针在骨合处各刺一针，出血放手后立即能吸吮乳汁。再用连翘一钱、灶心土二钱、木通五分煎服，即刻痊愈。这是通过望面色和审察孔窍来验证病症的一个案例。
我的同年兼学友胡增奇先生，生下男孩第四天，住在离我四十里左右的地方，不便邀请我去看诊，便来告诉我：孩子脸上发黄，身上有轻微发烧。我推测如果是脐风，黄色通常不会遍布全脸，于是询问眼睛内部情况。他说眼内也有发黄的趋势。我说这肯定是胎黄。便将地黄茵陈汤的方子传授给他，孩子痊愈了。这是通过询问面色来知晓病症的一个验证案例。
This condition arises from the pregnant woman frequently bathing in hot water, lying for a long time on a heated kang (brick bed), or overeating fried, roasted, and spicy foods. The manifestation involves erysipelas (a skin infection) appearing on the head, face, and limbs. The redness migrates unpredictably. Initially, Tianbao Caiwei Tang (Tianbao Preserving Vein Decoction) is used to release the exterior, followed by Dalianqiao Yin (Great Forsythia Decoction). If the erysipelas is caused by improper breastfeeding and accompanied by constipation, Sishun Qingliang Yin (Four-Obedience Cooling Clearing Decoction) should be used to promote bowel movement, after which the condition will resolve spontaneously.
"Jing" (Convulsion) and "Feng" (Wind) have different names but identical symptoms, such as a cyanotic complexion, convulsions and spasms, locked jaw, fever, and stiffness of the back. If the eyes are fixed or rolling wildly, it is extremely difficult to treat. One should first manipulate the Jingmen and Weiling acupoints along with Kunlun (BL60). After a short while, flex the infant's little finger and vigorously rub the Wailaogong (EX-UE18) point. Subsequently, apply Yuanxiao Fire therapy to stabilize the condition, then administer Zhuru Gao (Pig Milk Ointment). This condition results from the pregnant mother having a strong temper, acting out violently, falling, or colliding, which damages the Heart Blood, affecting the fetus. Externally, it is triggered by contact with Wind pathogen.
Taihuang (Neonatal Jaundice) occurs when the pregnant woman contracts Damp-Heat, which is transmitted to the fetal sac. Consequently, upon birth, the infant's face, eyes, and entire body appear golden yellow, accompanied by high fever, constipation, and dark urine. Treatment employs Dihuang Yincheng Tang (Rehmannia and Capillaris Decoction).
My fellow student and friend, Mr. Fang Mengju, had a son. Shortly after birth, his entire face turned cyanotic like indigo dye. He called at my door at dawn. I adjusted my sleeves and went to examine him. I determined this was an extreme case of Taihan (Neonatal Cold). Pressing Jingmen and Weiling yielded no response. I flexed the little finger and rubbed Wailaogong, then applied Yuanxiao Fire therapy, adding moxa to Feishu (BL13) one cone and Shaoshang (LU11) one cone each, followed by breastfeeding. I anticipated vomiting and prepared Huoxiang decoction in advance. Indeed, he vomited, and I administered the Huoxiang decoction. By morning mealtime, the cyanosis at Tianting (CV24) had receded, and by noon, his entire face had turned red. This is one sign of verifying symptoms through observation of color.
A man surnamed Fang had a son who did not suckle within seven days of birth. As I was in the commandery, other physicians were consulted and misdiagnosed the condition as Qifeng (Neonatal Tetanus). Upon my return, I intercepted him on the road to provide treatment. I observed extremely dry lips, a complexion that was red with a dark tint, and significant heat. I surmised that the inability to suckle was due to swollen and stiff gums. I pricked once at the bone junctions with a needle; upon bleeding and releasing pressure, the infant immediately began to suckle. I prescribed Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus) 1 qian, Zaocenter Tu (Caulis Cinnamomi? No, Zao Xin Tu - Hearth Earth) 2 qian, and Mutong (Akebiae Caulis) 5 fen, decocted and administered orally. The infant recovered immediately. This is one verification of diagnosing by observing color and examining orifices.
My tongnian (fellow examination graduate) and xueyou (classmate), Mr. Hu Zengqi, gave birth to a male child on the fourth day. His residence was about forty li away, making consultation inconvenient, so he came to tell me: the child's face was yellow, and there was slight fever. I reasoned that if it were Qifeng, the yellowing would not cover the whole face, so I asked about the eyes. He replied that the eyes also showed signs of yellowing. I stated, "This is definitely Taihuang." I provided him with the formula for Dihuang Yincheng Tang, and the child recovered. This is one verification of knowing the disease by asking about the color.
