》）
生下无皮：婴儿出生后，全身红白相间且没有皮肤，应立即用干燥的白米粉扑洒在患处，等到长出皮肤为止。凡是胁下、脚趾缝、肩弯等各处，如果发现发红溃烂且没有皮肤的地方，婴儿必定频繁啼哭，只需将牛屎烧成灰并保留药性，研磨成极细的粉末，撒在患处即可痊愈。（出自《传家宝》）
生下不动：婴儿出生后身体不动，应迅速查看口腔内部，如果上面有泡，名叫“悬痈”。应立即用手指挑破水泡，用丝绢包裹手指捏干水分，擦拭干净血迹，擦净后婴儿就会苏醒。如果血液进入腹部，则无法救活。（同上）
不发声：婴儿出生后不发出声音，名叫“梦生”，这一定是难产或受寒冷所致。应立即用棉絮包裹婴儿，抱着婴儿放入杯中，千万不可剪断脐带。必须连同胎盘一起迅速点燃，用纸浸油点火，在脐带上反复熏烤炙热，待暖气从脐部进入腹部。片刻之后，气息回归，婴儿身体变暖，自然会像往常一样啼哭。婴儿身体变暖后，如果仍不出声，就拿来一只猫，用布包裹住猫的头部和脚，让一名女子将猫靠近婴儿的耳朵，用力咬猫耳一口，猫突然大叫，婴儿就会惊醒并出声，从而回生。（同上）
不开眼：小儿初生时眼睛不睁开，是因为孕妇饮食不节制，恣意食用浓烈厚味的食物，导致热毒熏蒸，致使热邪蕴结于胎儿的脾脏。眼睑属于脾，其脉络紧束，所以不能睁开。使用熊胆、黄连（各少许），用滚开水冲泡清洗，眼睛自然就会睁开。（出自《全幼心鉴》）

重舌：初生小儿开口后，看舌头下面有重舌，有膜像石子一样，如果啼哭不出，速以手指甲或针微刺舌系带，有血流出即活，取桑枝汁调蒲黄涂抹。如果流血多者，烧头发成灰，用猪脂涂抹。（同上）
重舌欲死：用乱发灰（五分）调敷在舌下，持续使用。（出自《简要济众》）
木舌：此症因心脾积热而成。因为脾的脉络在舌下，而且舌是心的苗窍，遇到火上冲，令婴儿舌头肿胀满溢、僵硬如木，不能转动，所以名叫木舌。使用朴硝（五分）、真紫雪（二分）、盐（一分），共研成细末，用竹沥调匀，敷在舌上。如果不紧急治疗，必定导致难以救治。（出自《保赤正宗》）
另一方，使用黄蜀葵花（一钱）、黄丹（五分）共研成粉末敷用。（出自《直指方》）
木舌肿强：白矾、桂心（等分）研成粉末，放在舌下。（出自《普济方》）

噤口：初生七日内嘴巴紧闭，失治大多导致无法救治。此症舌上生疮，像黍米形状，吮吸乳汁不得，啼哭声逐渐变小，是由胎热所致。牛黄研成粉末，用淡竹沥化开灌服。再用猪乳汁滴入。（出自《外台秘要》）
鹅口：满口都是白色，像鹅的口腔一样，俗称为雪口。这是因为在母胎中受到母亲饮食热毒之气的影响，蕴结在心脾二经而生。只要是从内部生出的，可治；如果是从外部侵入的，不可治。使用食草白鹅的下清粪滤出汁液，加入少许砂糖搽抹。或者使用雄鹅粪，眠倒（指死的或僵硬的）的，烧成灰，加入少许麝香搽抹，效果如神。（出自《永类钤方》）
撮口脐风：初生七日内，面色红赤，呼吸急促，啼哭不出，即名叫撮口脐风。看齿龈上有小泡，像粟米形状，急忙用温水蘸青黛，用软帛包裹手指，擦破即愈。（出自《保生碎事》）

赤游丹毒：满月内的婴儿，身上忽然出现红紫色块状如云头，或平或略高起。快的，一天之内遍身缠绕到达。慢的，逐渐蔓延。从外部缠绕进入心口的会死亡，这是危重症。古方用粪金汁涂抹，如果得不到金汁，急忙寻找粪便内的蛔虫四五条，揩干粪便污秽。将竹片削成刀片状，破开虫子取汁，盛在碗内。先在丹毒上，用碗锋裹住筋头，轻轻刺破，将虫汁涂上自愈。此方屡试屡效。不要嫌弃臭秽不用，也不可既用了又因其臭秽而用水洗。须待数日后，肉色不红，完全痊愈，方可清洗。（出自《端素斋验方》）
日啼不止：牛黄、飞辰砂（各五厘末），涂在婴儿舌上立刻停止。（出自《保赤须知》）

百日伤寒：小儿百日内患高热，用铁铧一斤烧红，加水二斗，淬火三七次，煎至一半，加入柳叶七片，给婴儿洗澡。（出自《圣济总录》）
Skinless at Birth: When an infant is born with red and white skin missing, immediately dust the affected areas with dry white rice flour. Continue until new skin grows. For any areas under the ribs, between toes, or in shoulder bends that are red, ulcerated, and skinless, causing frequent crying, burn cow dung to ash while preserving its medicinal properties, grind it into an extremely fine powder, and sprinkle it on the affected area for immediate cure. (From *Chuanjia Bao*)
Immobility at Birth: If an infant is born immobile, quickly inspect the oral cavity. If there are blisters known as "Xuan Yong" (Hanging Abscess), puncture them immediately with a finger. Wrap the finger in silk, squeeze out fluids, and wipe away blood completely; the infant will revive. If blood enters the abdomen, survival is impossible. (Ibid.)
Failure to Cry: An infant born without vocalization is termed "Meng Sheng" (Dream Born), likely caused by difficult labor or cold exposure. Immediately wrap the infant in cotton wadding, hold the infant inside a cup, and do not sever the umbilical cord. Quickly ignite the placenta along with the cord using paper soaked in oil. Smoke and heat the cord repeatedly until warmth penetrates the abdomen through the navel. After a moment, when breath returns and the body warms, the infant will cry normally. If the infant remains silent after warming, take a cat, wrap its head and feet in cloth, have a woman bring the cat near the infant's ear, and bite the cat's ear sharply. The cat's sudden cry will startle the infant awake, restoring voice and life. (Ibid.)
Eyes Unopened: Infants whose eyes do not open at birth are often due to the pregnant woman's unregulated diet, specifically excessive consumption of rich and pungent foods, leading to heat-toxin steaming and accumulation in the fetal spleen. Since eyelids belong to the spleen and their meridians are tight, they cannot open. Use Bear Bile and Coptis Rhizome (Coptidis Rhizoma) (small amounts each), rinse with boiling water, and the eyes will naturally open. (From *Quanyou Xinjian*)
Blindness: Infants born with red, swollen, and ulcerated eyes that cannot open can be treated by applying earthworm mud to the fontanelle. Replace when dry; three applications suffice for a cure. (From *Shao Shi Chuan Fang*)
Another method: Use Aconitum Lateralare Preparatum (Arisaema Cum Bile) and Rheum Palmatum (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (equal parts), grind into powder, mix with vinegar, and apply to both soles. Effective regardless of whether within or after one month. (Ibid.)
Failure to Nurse: If a newborn cannot nurse due to tight swaddling or other causes, slice a single-clove garlic thinly and place it on both cheeks. Apply moxibustion; if the infant cries, it is cured. If no cry, ineffective. (From *Baoyou Yaomiao*)
Vomiting Milk: Amomum Fructus (Amomi Fructus Rotundus) and Alpinia Katsumadai Seed (Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus) (14 grains each), Raw Licorice Root (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and Roasted Licorice Root (2 qian each). Grind into powder and frequently sprinkle into the infant's mouth to stop vomiting. (From *Weishi Defang*)
Persistent Vomiting and Coughing: Stone Swallow (Swallow Stone) ground into powder, mixed with honey, applied to lips 3-5 times daily. (From *Wei Sheng Bao Jian*)
[Missing Character] Milk: Infants with phlegm-fire may swell in the cheeks and lose appetite after a few days of nursing, a condition called [Missing Character] Milk. Use Mint Leaf (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) and Mirabilite (Natrii Sulfas) ground into powder, applied 1-2 times for cure. (From *Shenji Chu Yan*)
Saliva Spitting and Cold Limbs: This symptom presents with bubble-like formations on the gums, sized like millet grains. Wrap a finger in soft cotton, dip in warm liquid, and wipe; the infant will open the mouth and calm down. (From *Baoying Jiyao*)
[Missing Character] Cheek: Newborns with hard, nodular swelling in the cheeks, either localized or widespread, named [Missing Character] Cheek. Symptoms include yellow complexion, small scrofula nodules at the nose tip, crying, and refusal to nurse. Crush one slug (or several small ones) with a small amount of Vermilion (Cinnabaris), apply externally to the swelling without wiping off, and it will subside. (Ibid.)
Alternative method: Mix a small amount of Mulberry Branch Ash with 2-3 drops of Rooster Comb Blood and a spoonful of Salted Brine. Apply frequently to the affected area. Alternatively, incise to remove white masses and membranes, then clean with saliva-moistened cotton. Caution: improper cutting may cause harm. (From *Zengding Dasheng Bian*)
Double Gum: Swelling of the upper palate resembling a water-filled sac is called Double Gum. Swelling of the gum bed is also called Double Gum. Puncture with a large needle to bleed, then apply Polygonum Multiflorum Root (Polygoni Multiflori Radix) powder. (From *Youke Tiejing*)
Horse Teeth: White spots appearing on the roof of the mouth and gums in newborns are called Horse Teeth. They prevent nursing; delay leads to death. Urgently puncture the spots with a heated needle until blood appears. Wipe blood with bloody cotton. Rinse with Mint decoction and apply Gold Ink solution. Withhold milk/food for one hour before resuming nursing. (From *Quanying Xinfa*)
Double Tongue: After opening the mouth, if a membrane resembling a stone is seen under the tongue (Double Tongue) preventing crying, prick the lingual frenulum gently with a fingernail or needle until blood flows. Apply mulberry branch juice mixed with Polygonum Multiflorum Root powder. If bleeding is excessive, apply hair ash mixed with lard. (Ibid.)
Double Tongue Swelling and Stiffness: Apply Fulonggan (Patio Collutum) powder mixed with Arctium Juice. (From *Shenghui Fang*)
Double Tongue Near Death: Apply hair ash (5 fen) under the tongue continuously. (From *Jianyao Jizhong*)
Wooden Tongue: Caused by heat accumulation in the Heart and Spleen. The spleen's meridians run under the tongue, and the tongue is the sprout of the Heart. Fire rushing upward causes the tongue to swell, become stiff like wood, and immobile. Treat with Mirabilite (5 fen), Zhen Zixue (True Purple Snow - a complex formula), and Salt (1 fen), ground fine, mixed with Bamboo Sap, and applied to the tongue. Urgent treatment is required to avoid fatal outcomes. (From *Baochi Zhengzong*)
Another formula: Huangshu Kui Hua (Malvae Sieversianae Flos) (1 qian) and Minium (Lithargyri) (5 fen), ground and applied. (From *Zhizhi Fang*)
Wooden Tongue Swelling and Rigidity: Alum (Bai Fan) and Cinnamon Bark (Gui Xin) (equal parts), ground and placed under the tongue. (From *Puji Fang*)
White Membrane Covering Tongue: Newborns with a white membrane covering the tongue or root. Scratch with fingernails to induce bleeding. Apply half a mung bean size of calcined alum powder. Failure to scratch may result in muteness. (From *Zhibao Fang*)
Locked Mouth: Infants under seven days old with locked mouth, often untreatable if neglected. Symptoms include millet-sized sores on the tongue, inability to suckle, and diminishing cries, caused by fetal heat. Administer Calculus Bovis (Niuhuang) powder dissolved in Light Bamboo Liquid (Dan Zhuli). Also drip pig milk. (From *Waitai Mi Yao*)
Goat Mouth (Thrush): White coating covering the entire mouth, resembling a goose's mouth, commonly called Snow Mouth. Caused by heat-toxin from maternal diet accumulating in the Heart and Spleen meridians during gestation. Internal origin is treatable; external invasion is not. Apply filtered juice from manure of grass-eating white geese mixed with sugar. Alternatively, use male goose manure ash mixed with Musk. Effect is miraculous. (From *Yonglei Qianfang*)
Pinched Mouth and Umbilical Wind: Within seven days of birth, red face, rapid breathing, and inability to cry indicate Pinched Mouth and Umbilical Wind. Check gums for millet-sized blisters. Dip finger wrapped in soft cloth in warm water with Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis), rub to break blisters for cure. (From *Baosheng Suishi*)
Alternative: Place a coin-sized piece of Sophora Tree Bark on the navel, surround with dough and honey, and moxa-burn. Cure upon first cry. (From *Chuanxin*)
Alternative: Slice single-clove garlic, place on navel, and moxa-burn. (From *Yiliang Li Shi Kan Fang*)
Umbilical Swelling: Wash with Schizonepeta Decoction. Heat a green onion leaf, remove fire heat, scrape thin, and apply to swelling. Subsides next day. (Ibid.)
Umbilical Swelling with Discharge: Dust with warmed Bai Shizhi (Halloysit Rubrum) powder, three times daily, do not disturb. (From *Weizhou Duxing Fang*)
Alternative: Apply ash of calcined Alum. (From *Shengji Fang*)
Umbilical Discharge Not Drying: Stir-fried Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi) ground fine, applied to dry discharge instantly. Highly effective. (From *Shishi Milu*)
