面赤发熟服凉惊，黄白发热用胃苓。身热便闭三黄下，瘦弱
发热集圣灵。变蒸发热用拿法，惊风导赤吞泄青。泄泻胃苓用一
粒，热泄玉露散同行。寒泄理中丸可服，泄渴白术散生津。痢疾
保和同香连。疟疾养脾疟自平;咳嗽玉液降痰气，浮肿胃苓引灯
心。苍疥胡麻丸最好，养脾最是保孩婴。蛔虫寸白用集圣，临时
用药细叮嘱。
初生三五日，大便血尝来。黑色为胎粪，鲜红实可哀。初生
便呕吐，跑浆蓄(1)胃中。物尽吐自止，不止便为凶。
小儿初生十日内，少乳多啼常喷嚏。急看喉中有珠泡，手法
刮去免扰虑。
不看撮脐风，撮脐粪少通。急用解毒药(2)，便下得从容。便闭
肚膨胀，口紧咬唇青，时时手足掣，脐风枉用心。
腹胀不便名锁肚，口紧不乳是噤风。目直叫哭盘肠吊，天
钓(3)身仰似角弓。初生芽儿有此病，父母欢喜一场空。
小儿初生多变蒸，三十二日细推论。如蚕之眠添智能，遍身
发热不惺惺。
变蒸休用药，三日自然安;外感惺惺散，伤食保和丸。
惺惺散内用人参，甘桔川芎白茯苓，细辛少许天花粉，防风
白术九味行。
胎热甘草黄连汤。胎寒去连加桂方;胎黄甘草加茵陈，胎惊
辰砂一味良;胎瘦胎肥浴体法，胎怯五软用地黄。此是家传真口
诀。儿孙记诵莫遗忘。
肝色多青心赤红，脾黄肺白肾黑同。黄白疳虚黑中恶，赤红
是热青惊风。
面部发红、身体发热者，服用凉惊丸；面色黄白且发热者，使用胃苓汤。身体发热且大便闭塞者，用三黄汤攻下；形体瘦弱而发热者，服用集圣丸。因变蒸引起的发热，采用推拿手法治疗；惊风引起的发热，吞服导赤散或泄青丸。因泄泻导致的发热，使用胃苓汤配合一粒丹；热性泄泻，与玉露散同用。寒性泄泻可服用理中丸；泄泻伴口渴者，服用白术散以生津液。痢疾可用保和丸配合香连丸治疗；疟疾通过调理脾胃即可自愈；咳嗽导致痰气上逆，使用玉液汤；浮肿使用胃苓汤并引灯心草为引。苍疥（一种皮肤病）服用胡麻丸效果最好；调理脾胃对于保护婴幼儿最为重要。蛔虫病、寸白虫（绦虫）病使用集圣丸，用药时需仔细叮嘱患者。
初生婴儿三五天大时，若大便带血，需加以辨别。黑色的是胎粪，若是鲜红色则令人担忧。初生婴儿出现呕吐，是因为乳汁蓄积在胃中。待乳汁排尽后呕吐自止，若不止则是凶兆。
小儿出生后十日内，若因母乳不足而多啼哭、常打喷嚏，应迅速检查喉中是否有珠泡，用手法治去以免引起惊扰忧虑。
若不观察是否患撮脐风（新生儿破伤风的一种表现），发现脐部粪便少且不通畅，应立即使用解毒药，使大便通畅排出，病情方可缓解。若大便闭塞、腹部膨胀，口紧咬唇色青，时时手足抽搐，这是脐风重症，难以救治。
腹胀且不便秘称为“锁肚”；口紧闭不能吃奶称为“噤风”。眼睛直视、叫哭、腹痛如盘肠吊起，以及角弓反张（天钓），身体仰挺如弓状。初生婴儿若有这些病症，父母将欢喜一场空（即失去孩子）。
小儿初生后常有变蒸现象，每三十二日为一个周期，需仔细推论。变蒸如同蚕眠，有助于增添智能，表现为全身发热、精神昏沉不清醒。
变蒸期间无需用药，三日后可自然安宁；若兼有外感，服用惺惺散；若因伤食，服用保和丸。
惺惺散内含有：人参、甘草、桔梗、川芎、白茯苓、细辛少许、天花粉、防风、白术，共九味药。
胎热证服用甘草黄连汤；胎寒证服用去黄连加桂枝的方剂；胎黄证在甘草基础上加茵陈；胎惊证单用辰砂一味药即可；胎瘦、胎肥采用浴体法；胎怯及五软证用地黄类方剂。这是家传的口诀，儿孙们要记诵勿忘。
When the face is red and the body feels hot, take Liangjing Wan (Cooling Convulsion Pill); when the complexion is yellowish-white with fever, use Weiling Tang (Stomach Calming Decoction). When there is fever accompanied by constipation, purge with Sanhuang Xia (Three Yellows Purging Decoction); for those who are emaciated with fever, take Jisheng Wan (Collecting Holy Spirit Pill). For fever caused by Bianzheng (physiological growth fever), apply Tuina (pediatric massage) techniques; for fever due to Jingfeng (convulsions), swallow Daochi San (Guide Out Red Powder) or Xieqing Wan (Drain Green Pill). For fever due to diarrhea, use Weiling Tang combined with Yili Dan (One Pill); for hot diarrhea, administer together with Yulu San (Jade Dew Powder). For cold diarrhea, take Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill); for diarrhea with thirst, take Baizhu San (Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) to generate fluids. For dysentery, combine Baohe Wan (Preserve Harmony Pill) with Xianglian Wan (Coptis and Cinnamon Pill); for malaria, regulating the Spleen will bring natural peace; for cough with phlegm qi rebellion, use Yuye Tang (Jade Fluid Decoction); for edema, use Weiling Tang guiding with Dengxincao (Cyperus Rotundus Rhizome). For Cangjie (a type of skin disease), Huma Wan (Sesame Seed Pill) is best; regulating the Spleen is most effective for protecting infants. For roundworms and Taenia solium (tapeworm), use Jisheng Wan; instruct carefully on medication timing.
In newborns aged three to five days, blood in stool may appear. Black stool is meconium; bright red stool is truly alarming. If a newborn vomits immediately after birth, it is because milk has accumulated in the stomach. Once the milk is exhausted, vomiting stops naturally; if it persists, it indicates a dire prognosis.
Within ten days after birth, if an infant cries frequently and sneezes often due to insufficient breast milk, quickly check for pearl bubbles in the throat and scrape them away manually to prevent disturbance.
If one fails to observe for Cuowei Feng (umbilical wind/neonatal tetanus symptoms), and finds little stool passing through the umbilicus, urgently administer Jiudu Yao (Detoxifying Medicine); once stool passes smoothly, the condition can be managed. If there is constipation, abdominal distension, tight mouth biting lips turning cyanotic, and frequent convulsions of hands and feet, this is severe Umbilical Wind, which is difficult to treat.
Abdominal distension without defecation is named Suodu (Locked Belly); inability to suckle due to tight jaw is called Jinfeng (Lockjaw). Eyes staring straight, crying, abdominal pain resembling coiled intestines, and Tian Diao (Heavenly Hook/Opisthotonos) where the body arches backward like a bow—these conditions in newborns mean parents' joy turns to emptiness (loss of child).
Newborns often undergo Bianzheng (growth fever cycles), occurring every thirty-two days, requiring careful calculation. Like silkworms sleeping, it enhances intelligence, manifesting as whole-body fever and drowsiness.
No medication is needed for Bianzheng; it resolves naturally in three days. If complicated by external pathogens, use Xingxing San (Awakening Powder); if due to food stagnation, use Baohe Wan (Preserve Harmony Pill).
Xingxing San contains: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Gancao (Licorice Root), Jiegeng (Platycodon Root), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Rhizome), Baifuling (Poria with Hostwood), Xixin (Asarum Root) in small amounts, Tianhuafen (Trichosanthes Root), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), and Baizhu (Atractylodes Rhizome), totaling nine ingredients.
For Tai Re (Fetal Heat), take Gancao Huanglian Tang (Licorice and Coptis Decoction); for Tai Han (Fetal Cold), use the formula removing Coptis and adding Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig); for Tai Huang (Fetal Jaundice), add Yinchen (Artemisia Capillaris Herb) to Licorice; for Tai Jing (Fetal Convulsion), single-ingredient Chen Sha (Cinnabar) is excellent; for Tai Shou (Fetal Emaciation) and Tai Fei (Fetal Obesity), use bathing methods; for Tai Qie (Fetal Weakness) and Wu Ruan (Five Softnesses), use Dihuang (Rehmannia Root) formulas. These are family secrets passed down orally; descendants must memorize them and not forget.
Liver color is mostly green; Heart color is red; Spleen is yellow; Lung is white; Kidney is black. Yellow indicates deficiency in Ganji (Childhood Malnutrition); black indicates Zhong'e (Evil Strike); red indicates Heat; green indicates Jingfeng (Convulsion).
