天钓,发作时头目仰视,惊悸壮热,两目上翻,泪出不流,手足抽搐,不时悲笑,如同被鬼祟附体,严重的指甲青紫。这是因为乳母食用浓味食物导致积毒在胃,致使婴儿心肺产生热痰郁滞,或者外感风邪引发疾病。治疗应当解表祛邪,使用钩藤饮(Gouteng Yin)。若出现上气喘粗的症状,使用乌蝎四君子汤(Wuxie Sijunzi Tang)。
内钓,表现为腹痛多喘,嘴唇发黑,阴囊肿大,弯腰反张,眼角发红,这是由于胎中受风及外部惊吓所致。如果五脏内部抽搐作痛、狂叫,或者泄泻缩脚,内症发作时,外症也随之出现,极难调理。内症服用聚宝丹(Jubao Dan),外症服用钩藤饮,能够进食乳食的可以治愈。如果是腹痛、嘴唇发黑、阴囊肿大等症状,使用聚宝丹。如果是因外部惊吓导致五脏抽搐等症状,使用钩藤饮。如果是因乳母饮用醇酒、食用浓味食物导致积毒在胃,使用加味清胃散(Jiawei Qingwei San)。如果是因乳母郁怒导致积热在肝,使用加味逍遥散(Jiawei Xiaoyao San)和加味归脾汤(Jiawei Guipi Tang),均加入漏芦(Loulou),母子共同服用。凡是母亲食用膏粱厚味,在喂养婴儿时,应先挤去宿乳,然后再让婴儿吮吸。
治验:

一个婴儿弯曲腰部啼哭,面色青、嘴唇黑,这是寒气侵袭导致的内钓腹痛。使用五味异功散(Wuwei Yigong San)加木香(Muxiang)、干姜(Ganjiang),一剂药后给母亲服用,立刻痊愈。后来因为母亲感受寒邪腹痛而啼哭,用人参理中汤(Renshen Lizhong Tang)一剂,给母亲服用,她的孩子也安好了。
一个婴儿干啼,手脚冰凉,使用六君子汤(Liujunzi Tang)加干姜、木香服用,没有见效,又加入肉桂(Rougui),母子共同服用后安好。
一个婴儿忽然干啼并腹泻,睡眠中抽搐,手脚冷,这是脾土虚寒,肝木乘侮,从而发生抽搐,属于内钓。使用益黄散(Yihuang San)一剂后安好,再用四君子汤加柴胡、升麻(Shengma),乳食逐渐恢复而安好。
一个婴儿干啼,面色青或红,手脚发热。有人使用清热药剂,久治不愈。诊察其乳母,发现她有肝火气滞,使用加味逍遥散、越鞠丸(Yueju Wan)治疗其母亲,同时给婴儿灌入几滴药汁,不到十天,母子都痊愈了。
一个婴儿患前症,服用魏香散(Weixiang San)后痊愈,后来复发,服用祛风镇惊的药物,导致上气喘粗,这是元气虚寒。我先使用乌蝎四君子汤,症状稍减;但倦怠非常严重,使用补中益气汤(Buzhong Yiqi Tang)及五味异功散后痊愈。
一个婴儿因为母亲每次感受寒邪腹痛,饮用烧酒,发热痰盛,面赤,手脚发热,属于胃经实热的天钓。使用清胃散(Qingwei San),母子共同服用后都痊愈。后来因为伤乳导致吐泻,面色或青或白,手脚冰凉,属于脾气虚寒,使用六君子汤、木香、干姜后痊愈。三岁后因伤食腹痛,嘴唇发黑并腹泻,多次排便却无粪便,或粪便少且青色,这是元气虚寒下陷,使用补中益气汤逐渐痊愈。
一个婴儿啼哭,阴囊肿大,眼目上翻,有赤脉流泪,这是肝热内钓,使用柴胡清肝散(Chaihu Qinggan San)加钩藤钩(Goutenggou)治疗,各种症状逐渐好转,后又用钩藤饮痊愈。后来复发,有人使用祛除病根的药物,导致乳食日渐减少,肚中胀痛,手脚浮肿。我先使用六君子汤、升麻、柴胡数剂,各种症状稍好,又因伤乳食导致吐泻,使用平胃散(Pingwei San)一服即愈。
一个婴儿因为乳母怀抱郁结,腹痛发生抽搐,久而不愈,使用加味归脾汤加漏芦,母子共同服用后逐渐好转。后来母亲大怒昏厥后苏醒,婴儿随即吃奶,腹痛腹泻,面色青、呕吐,先用小柴胡汤(Xiaochaihu Tang)二剂,母子共同服用后稍好;其母亲又出现咽酸腹胀,使用越鞠丸、加味归脾汤,佐以加味逍遥散后痊愈。

Tiandiao (Heavenly Hook) manifests with the head and eyes looking upward during attacks, palpitations, high fever, eyes rolling back, tears flowing but not stopping, convulsions of the hands and feet, intermittent crying and laughing as if possessed by evil spirits, and in severe cases, cyanosis of the fingernails and toenails. This is caused by accumulated toxins from rich foods in the stomach of the wet nurse, leading to heat-phlegm stagnation in the infant's heart and lungs, or external wind pathogenic factors inducing the disease. The treatment method should be to resolve and dispel the pathogen, using Gouteng Yin (Uncaria Decoction). If there is wheezing and coarse breathing, use Wuxie Sijunzi Tang (Black Scorpion and Four Gentlemen Decoction).
Neidiao (Internal Hook) presents with abdominal pain, frequent panting, black lips, scrotal swelling, stooping posture, backward arching of the body, and redness at the corners of the eyes. This is caused by wind contraction in the womb and external fright. If there are internal spasms of the five zang organs accompanied by painful manic screaming, or diarrhea with legs drawn up, when internal symptoms occur, external symptoms also appear, making it extremely difficult to regulate. For internal symptoms, administer Jubao Dan (Treasure Gathering Pill); for external symptoms, administer Gouteng Yin. Cases where the infant can take milk and food are treatable. For symptoms such as abdominal pain, black lips, and scrotal swelling, use Jubao Dan. For symptoms such as internal spasms due to external fright, use Gouteng Yin. If the cause is accumulated toxins in the stomach from the wet nurse consuming strong wine and rich foods, use Jiawei Qingwei San (Modified Stomach-Clearing Powder). If the cause is accumulated heat in the liver due to the wet nurse's depression and anger, use Jiawei Xiaoyao San (Modified Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) and Jiawei Guipi Tang (Modified Heart-Nourishing Decoction), both added with Loulu (Radix Euphorbiae Humifusae), taken by both mother and child. Whenever the mother consumes rich and greasy foods, before feeding the infant, she should first squeeze out the retained milk, then allow the infant to suckle.
Clinical Records:
An infant suffered from convulsions because the wet nurse was frightened. The infant frequently had red eyes, high fever, abdominal pain, cried while bending the waist. Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) was used with Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) and Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae). Additionally, Jiawei Xiaoyao San was used with Shudihuang (Prepared Radix Rehmanniae) to clear liver heat and generate liver blood; Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill) was used to nourish kidney water to generate liver wood, resulting in peace for both mother and child.
An infant bent his waist while crying, with a blue complexion and black lips. This was Neidiao abdominal pain caused by cold qi invasion. Wuwei Yigong San (Five-Ingredient Extraordinary Merit Powder) was used with Muxiang (Radix Aucklandiae) and Ganjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis). One dose given to the mother resulted in immediate recovery. Later, when the mother felt cold and had abdominal pain causing crying, Renshen Lizhong Tang (Ginseng and Middle-Warming Decoction) was administered to the mother, and her child also became peaceful.
An infant cried without tears, with cold hands and feet. Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) was used with Ganjiang and Muxiang, but there was no response. Rougui (Cortex Cinnamomi) was added, and both mother and child took it, resulting in peace.
An infant suddenly cried without tears and had diarrhea, with convulsions during sleep and cold hands and feet. This was spleen earth deficiency-cold, with liver wood overacting, causing convulsions, classified as Neidiao. Yihuang San (Yellow Protecting Powder) was administered for one dose, bringing peace. Then, Sijunzi Tang was used with Chaihu and Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae), allowing milk and food intake to gradually recover, resulting in peace.
An infant cried without tears, with a blue or red complexion and hot hands and feet. Clearing-heat agents were used by others, but the condition persisted for a long time. Upon examining the wet nurse, liver fire and qi stagnation were found. Jiawei Xiaoyao San and Yueju Wan (Pill Resolving Six Stagnations) were used to treat the mother, while several drops of the medicine were instilled into the infant. Within ten days, both mother and child recovered.
An infant suffered from the aforementioned symptoms and recovered after taking Weixiang San (Asafoetida Powder). The condition recurred later. After taking wind-dispelling and spirit-calming medicines, the infant developed wheezing and coarse breathing, indicating deficiency-cold of yuan qi (original qi). I first used Wuxie Sijunzi Tang, which slightly improved the condition; however, fatigue was severe. Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Middle-Boosting and Qi-Enriching Decoction) and Wuwei Yigong San were used, leading to complete recovery.
An infant suffered because the mother repeatedly contracted cold and had abdominal pain, drank liquor, had high fever with abundant phlegm, a red face, and hot hands and feet. This belonged to Tiandiao of excess heat in the stomach meridian. Qingwei San was used, taken by both mother and child, leading to recovery. Later, due to milk injury causing vomiting and diarrhea, with a complexion that was either blue or white and cold hands and feet, this belonged to spleen qi deficiency-cold. Liujunzi Tang, Muxiang, and Ganjiang were used, leading to recovery. After age three, abdominal pain due to food injury, black lips, and diarrhea with frequent urges but little stool, or scanty green stool, indicated sinking of deficiency-cold yuan qi. Buzhong Yiqi Tang was used for gradual recovery.
An infant cried with scrotal swelling, eyes rolling upward, red vessels, and tearing. This was liver heat Neidiao. Chaihu Qinggan San (Bupleurum Liver-Clearing Decoction) was used with Goutenggou (Uncaria Rhynchophylla), leading to gradual improvement of all symptoms. Gouteng Yin was then used for complete recovery. Later, it recurred. Someone used drugs to remove the root of the disease, causing reduced milk and food intake, abdominal distension and pain, and edema of the hands and feet. I first used Liujunzi Tang, Shengma, and Chaihu for several doses, slightly improving the symptoms. Then, milk and food injury caused vomiting and diarrhea. Pingwei San was used, leading to recovery with one dose.
An infant suffered from abdominal pain and convulsions due to the wet nurse's emotional constraint, persisting for a long time without recovery. Jiawei Guipi Tang was used with Loulu, taken by both mother and child, leading to gradual improvement. Later, the mother became furious, fainted, and regained consciousness. The infant then suckled, resulting in abdominal pain, diarrhea, blue complexion, and vomiting. Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) was administered for two doses to both mother and child, resulting in slight improvement. The mother then experienced acid regurgitation and abdominal distension. Yueju Wan, Jiawei Guipi Tang, assisted by Jiawei Xiaoyao San, led to recovery.
