性情急躁，频繁啼哭，出汗且身体发热，睡眠中容易受惊，大小便不通畅，稍有不适身体就会烘热，喜欢喝水。
性情温和，声音微弱，全身看似正常，但脑后部位潮湿，夜间盗汗且汗液发冷，大便稀溏且次数频繁，表现为上热下寒，口腔内部糜烂，容易引发各种疳积病证，频繁呕吐乳汁并流口水，喉咙间常有痰鸣声，经常打嗝，粪便颜色青白相间。
婴儿刚出生时，立即取甘草一钱、黄连五分，煎煮成水，用布包裹手指蘸取药液，擦拭婴儿口中的污秽汁液，同时让婴儿服用这两味药煎成的水。使婴儿吐出腹中的污浊之水，或在大便中排出恶物，这样婴儿就不会患杂病，并能顺利出痘疹。（加入人参一两分同煎效果更佳）
另一方法：取朱砂一字量，调和炼蜜，蘸取涂抹于婴儿口中让其咽下，则一生可免除痘疹的祸患。
婴儿刚出生时，立即用棉絮大量浸泡产血，阴干保存，防止腐烂变质，存放在不热的地方。如果婴儿气息暂时不平顺，出现口热身温的情况，将棉絮浸入温水中取出，频频喂给婴儿饮用，可以治疗婴儿的各种疾病。有一种说法认为脐带中的血效果更佳。
取狗粪晒干至露干状态。选择颜色白色的，用蜜炙烤后研成粉末，浸泡在白开的沸汤中，滤去渣滓，频频温热服用。用于预防慢惊风、急惊风、火丹（丹毒）、胎肿、口疳等病症。
婴儿出生后脐带脱落，立即将其放置在新瓦片上，用炭火在四周焚烧至烟即将燃尽，取出放在地上，用瓦片覆盖以保留药性，研成粉末。预先准备透明的朱砂细末，用水飞法处理。取五分重的脐带末与二分半朱砂混合，再用生地、当归身浓煎出的汁液一至两个小蛤蜊壳的量，调和这三味药让婴儿饮用，一日内服完，第二天大便排出污秽之物，终身永无痘疹及各类疾病的祸患，这是延寿的第一妙方。
婴儿刚出生时，有立即死亡的，需紧急查看婴儿口中悬雍垂前方是否有如石榴籽般的泡状物，用手指挑破使其出血，用布擦拭后撒上头发灰。如果恶血进入口中则会立即死亡。
婴儿刚出生时，气息微弱几乎不能啼哭，必定是难产时受伤，或是受寒所致。立即用棉絮包裹婴儿置于怀中，不要剪断脐带，并将胎盘放置在炉火中烧灼，同时用醋汤或艾叶汤清洗脐带，让熏蒸的气味进入婴儿腹中，这样气息恢复，哭声如常，才可以剪断脐带。
另一方法：人参、乌药各二三分同煎，滴入婴儿口中也有效果。
婴儿刚出生时，面色青紫、身体冰冷、牙关紧闭的，是因为产妇临产前过食生冷寒性之物，寒气转移至胎儿所致。紧急煎煮人参、白僵蚕、甘草各二三分给婴儿饮用。
婴儿刚出生时，呕吐无法吃奶的，是因为污秽恶浊的水进入口腹所致。取黄连、枳壳、赤茯苓、甘草各二三分，煎水后加蜂蜜调和饮用。
婴儿刚出生时，口中白色碎屑布满舌头，无法吮吸乳汁，称为鹅口疮。紧急用乱发缠绕手指，蘸取薄荷汁或井泉水擦拭。如果不脱落，用雄黄、黄连、甘草等分为末，调和蜂蜜涂抹于口中。
另一方法：取鼠妇虫的汁液涂抹患处。
另一方法：取白杨枝的汁液涂抹，效果神奇。
婴儿刚出生时，全身没有皮肤，全是红肉，用白早米粉撒在上面，等到长出皮肤为止。（白早米即早稻米）。
婴儿刚出生时，全身像鱼泡一样，像水晶一样透明，破碎则有水流出来，用密陀僧粉末撒敷（如果没有可用白早米粉代替）。因为服用苏合香丸（方剂见下文）。
婴儿刚出生时，无法吮吸乳汁的，是因为口中生有齿屎，称为马牙。用针刮除肿核，涂抹白清（若无白清，生清也可，若不治疗必死）。
婴儿刚出生时，口唇紧小无法张开，称为茧唇。用黄柏、五倍子、甘草等分为末，调和白清涂抹。
另一方法：牛黄加竹沥饮用，最为奇妙。如果不紧急治疗则必死无疑。
Irritable disposition with frequent crying, sweating accompanied by body heat, frequent startles during sleep and wakefulness, obstruction of both urination and defecation, slight discomfort leading to a sensation of bodily heat, and a preference for drinking water.
A gentle disposition with a weak voice, the whole body appearing normal, but dampness at the back of the neck, night sweats with cold sweat, loose and frequent stools, presenting as upper heat and lower cold, erosion inside the mouth, susceptibility to various types of *gan* syndrome (malnutrition in children), frequent vomiting of milk and drooling, often with phlegm sounds in the throat, frequent belching, and stool that is greenish-white.
Immediately after birth, take 1 qian of Gancao (Licorice Root) and 5 fen of Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), decoct in water, wrap a finger with cloth, dip into the liquid, and wipe the foul fluid from the infant's mouth. Also, administer the decoction of these two herbs to drink. This allows the infant to vomit out the turbid water from the abdomen or pass foul matter in the stool, ensuring no miscellaneous diseases occur and facilitating the eruption of smallpox/variolae. (Adding 1-2 fen of Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) for simultaneous decoction is excellent.)
Another prescription: Take 1 zi amount of Zhusha (Cinnabar), mix with refined honey, apply to the infant's mouth to swallow; this prevents variolae (smallpox) for life.
Immediately after birth, soak cotton wool extensively in maternal blood (Chanxue), dry it in the shade without allowing it to rot, and store it in a cool place. If the infant's qi becomes temporarily unsmooth, manifesting as oral heat and warm skin, soak the cotton wool in warm water, wring it out, and frequently feed the water to the infant to treat various ailments. It is said that blood from the umbilical cord is even better.
Take dog feces exposed to dew until dry. Select those that are white in color, roast with honey, grind into powder, steep in boiling water, filter out the dregs, and frequently administer warm doses. This prevents slow convulsions, acute convulsions, erysipelas (huodan), fetal swelling, and oral gan syndrome.
After the umbilical cord falls off post-birth, place it on a new tile and burn it with charcoal fire around the perimeter until the smoke almost ceases. Remove it to the ground and cover with a tile to preserve its nature. Grind into powder. Prepare fine powder of transparent Zhusha (Cinnabar) using the water-calcination method. Mix 5 fen of umbilical cord powder with 2.5 fen of Zhusha. Decoct Shengdi (Rehmannia Root) and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root) thickly to obtain one or two shells of a small clam. Mix these three ingredients and administer to the infant, consuming within one day. The next day, foul matter will be passed in the stool, preventing variolae and all diseases for life. This is the premier miraculous formula for prolonging life.
In some cases, infants die immediately upon birth. Urgently examine the area anterior to the uvula in the mouth for bubbles resembling pomegranate seeds. Puncture them with a finger to induce bleeding, wipe with cloth, and sprinkle hair ash. If foul blood enters the mouth, death occurs immediately.
If an infant is born with extremely weak qi, unable to cry, it is likely due to injury during difficult labor or exposure to cold. Immediately wrap the infant in cotton wool and hold them against your chest. Do not cut the umbilical cord yet. Place the placenta in the stove fire to burn, and wash the umbilical cord with vinegar soup or mugwort soup, allowing the fumes to enter the infant's abdomen. Once qi returns and crying resumes normally, the umbilical cord may then be cut.
Another prescription: Decoct Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) and Wuyao (Lindera Root), each 2-3 fen, and drip into the infant's mouth; this is also effective.
If an infant is born with a cyan face, cold body, and locked jaw, it is caused by the mother consuming excessive raw, cold, or yin-cold foods before delivery, transferring cold qi to the fetus. Urgently decoct Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Jiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus), and Gancao (Licorice Root), each 2-3 fen, and administer to the infant.
If an infant vomits and cannot suckle milk, it is caused by foul and turbid water entering the mouth and abdomen. Decoct Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), Zhijiao (Zanthoxylum Bark), Chifuling (Poria with Red Cortex), and Gancao (Licorice Root), each 2-3 fen, mix with honey, and administer.
If an infant is born with white debris covering the tongue, unable to suckle, it is called "Goat Mouth" (E kou, thrush). Urgently wrap loose hair around a finger, dip in Bohe (Mint) juice or well water, and wipe the mouth. If it does not detach, grind Xionghuang (Realgar), Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), and Gancao (Licorice Root) in equal parts into powder, mix with honey, and apply to the mouth.
Another prescription: Apply juice from Shufu (Woodlouse) to the affected area.
Another prescription: Apply sap from Baiyangzhi (Populus alba branch); this is miraculously effective.
If an infant is born without skin, showing only red flesh, sprinkle Baizaomi (Early Rice Flour) over it until skin regenerates. (Baizaomi refers to early rice flour).
If an infant is born with blisters all over the body resembling fish bladders or crystal, which burst and leak fluid, sprinkle Miduoseng (Lead Monoxide) powder. (If unavailable, use Baizaomi). This is treated because Suhe Xiang Wan (Styrax Pill) was administered (formula see below).
If an infant is born unable to suckle due to "horse teeth" (Ma ya, Epstein pearls) formed in the mouth, scrape the swollen nodules with a needle and apply Baiqing (White Clear/Calcined Gypsum). This is effective. (If Baiqing is unavailable, Shengqing [Raw Gypsum] can be used; if untreated, death is certain).
If an infant is born with tight, small lips that cannot open, it is called "Silkworm Cocoon Lip" (Jian chun). Grind Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark), Wubeizi (Galla Chinensis), and Gancao (Licorice Root) in equal parts into powder, mix with Baiqing (White Clear), and apply.
Another prescription: Administer Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis) mixed with Zhuli (Bamboo Sap); this is most excellent. If not treated urgently, death is certain.
