Pediatric Convulsion (Xiao'er Jing): Manifests as curling up of hands and feet, laughing first then crying.

If the skin at the Taiyang point turns red, take one cup of strong vinegar, refine it with *Cerussa* (Shaofen, 韶粉/铅粉), and perform scraping or massage on areas showing red veins. If the skin at the Taiyin point turns red, scrape the Guwei (Tailbone) area, apply one moxa cone (Zhuang) to the Tianxin (Heavenly Heart) acupoint.
