卧儿纫旧布多层，衬儿受尿，轮流洗晒，最妙。有用布袋盛稻杆灰以收湿者，若甫离灶突，火毒未出，
儿中之，必生丹毒惊痫等证。必须将灰筛净，预贮数日，然后用之。（《活婴方》）
儿如爱惜太过，三两岁犹未饮食，致令脾胃虚弱，一生多病。但儿生半年后，煎陈米稀粥，粥面时时
与之，十月后渐与稠粥烂饭，以助中气。但不与乳并，自然无病易养。（《保婴易知录》）
有幼女者病嗜卧，颊赤而身不热，诸医误以慢惊进攻风之剂。吕沧洲诊之，右关滑数，他部皆和，曰女
症状表现为局部肿胀或异常者，用针挑破患处，以泻除邪气。如果舌下有一层薄膜，形状像石榴籽，或者像虫子的形状，应立即用针刺破。针刺时，针尖应向两侧挑破，不可用直针深刺，以免损伤其下方的血脉通道。以上各种证候，在刮净并刺破溃烂处之后，用甘草汤清洗洁净，再涂抹桑树皮白色的汁液，或者使用陈年的京墨，或者将白僵蚕研成粉末，频繁地涂抹在患处。或者选用其他清洁口腔的解毒方法，就可以保证没有危险。倘若父母因为溺爱孩子、怕孩子疼痛而保护孩子，不进行针刺和刮治，那么毒邪就没有排出的途径，快的话会演变成脐风、噤口（牙关紧闭）、撮口（口唇紧缩）等危重证候，百人中难救活一个；慢的话会导致内钓（腹部拘急疼痛）、盘肠（肠痉挛）、惊搐（惊厥抽搐）等险症，到时候就难以挽救了。有人会说小儿口腔疾病，挑治时容易引发其他病症，所以有病一定要挑治，这不是办法，而且非常麻烦。却不知道“挑口”这一方法，能够泻除胎毒而不损伤元气，比服用猛烈峻厉的药物要稳妥万分，怎么可以轻视呢。（出自《婴儿至要录》）
让婴儿穿多层旧布缝制的衣物，垫在婴儿受尿的部位，轮流清洗晾晒，这是最好的方法。有的人用布袋盛放稻草灰来吸收湿气，但如果稻草刚从灶膛里取出，火毒尚未散去，婴儿接触后，必然会产生丹毒、惊痫等证候。必须将草灰筛选干净，预先储存几天，然后再使用。（出自《活婴方》）
如果对婴儿过分爱惜，到了两三岁还不让进食，导致脾胃虚弱，一生多病。但是婴儿出生半年后，可以煮陈米的稀粥，经常给婴儿喝粥面上的米油，十个月后可以逐渐给予稠粥和烂饭，以辅助中气（脾胃之气）。只要不与乳汁同时喂食，自然就不会生病，容易抚养。（出自《保婴易知录》）
有一个小女孩患病，表现为嗜睡，脸颊发红但身体不发热，各位医生误以为是慢惊风，使用了祛风的药物。吕沧洲诊察后，发现右关脉滑数，其他部位的脉象都平和，说这个女……
For symptoms presenting as local swelling or abnormalities, puncture the affected area with a needle to drain the pathogenic qi. If there is a membrane under the tongue resembling pomegranate seeds or worm shapes, it should be promptly punctured with a needle. The needle should be used to挑破 (pierce and spread) towards both sides laterally; do not use a straight needle for deep insertion to avoid damaging the underlying blood vessels/channels. After scraping clean and puncturing the aforementioned conditions, rinse thoroughly with Licorice Decoction (Gancao Tang), then frequently apply the white juice of mulberry bark, aged Jingmo (Beijing ink), or powdered White Silkworm (Bai Jiangcan). Alternatively, select other methods for cleansing the mouth and detoxification to ensure safety. If parents, out of indulgence and fear of the child's pain, protect the child from being punctured and scraped, the toxins will have no outlet. Quickly, this may transform into severe syndromes such as Umbilical Tetanus (Qifeng), Lockjaw (Jinkou), or Pinched Mouth (Cuekou), where survival rates are extremely low. Delayed treatment may lead to dangerous conditions like Internal Hooking (Neidiao - abdominal cramping), Coiled Intestine (Panchang - intestinal spasms), or Convulsions (Jingchu), making rescue impossible. Some might argue that treating oral diseases in children by piercing can induce illness, so one must always pierce when disease exists, which is troublesome. However, they fail to realize that the "mouth-piercing" method can drain fetal toxins without harming the Original Qi (Yuanqi), being ten thousand times safer than administering harsh and drastic medicines. How can it be disregarded? (From *Yinger Zhiyao Lu*)
Let infants wear multiple layers of old cloth sewn together, lining the areas where urine falls, washing and sun-drying them in rotation; this is optimal. Some use cloth bags filled with rice straw ash to absorb moisture. However, if the ash is taken directly from the stove while fire toxins remain unexpelled, contact by the infant will inevitably cause rashes (Dandu), epilepsy, or convulsions. The ash must be sifted clean and stored for several days before use. (From *Huoying Fang*)
Over-indulgence in protecting infants may lead to situations where they are not fed solid food until age two or three, resulting in Spleen and Stomach deficiency and frequent illnesses throughout life. However, after six months of age, thin porridge made from aged rice can be prepared, and the surface oil/cream of the porridge should be given frequently. After ten months, thicker porridge and soft rice can be gradually introduced to support Middle Qi (Zhongqi - Spleen/Stomach Qi). As long as this is not mixed with breast milk, the child will naturally remain healthy and easy to raise. (From *Baoying Yizhi Lu*)
A young girl suffered from excessive sleepiness, with red cheeks but no body heat. Various physicians mistakenly diagnosed her with Slow Convulsion Syndrome (Man Jingfeng) and administered wind-dispelling agents. Lü Cangzhou examined her pulse, finding it slippery and rapid at the Right Guan position, while other positions were harmonious. He said, "This female..."
