新生儿初生时，全身血脉尚未周流贯通，依赖母乳哺育。此时其皮肤腠理未充实，精髓未充盈，因此常常容易遭受外邪侵袭（客忤）。探究其根本原因，往往与出生时的护理不当有关。
一、对于初生婴儿，先浓煎黄连甘草汤。用软绢或丝绵包裹手指，蘸取药液，抠除肛门中的恶血及秽浊之气。如果来不及处理，后果可能严重。
二、婴儿出生后不啼哭的，急忙查看口腔是否有水泡，立即用银簪挑破，用丝棉拭去血液，切勿让血液流入咽喉，这样可以救活。
三、一种方法切不可过早断脐带。用棉衣包裹婴儿，用火纸捻烧灼脐带根部，待婴儿气息恢复后，方可切断脐带。
四、婴儿在吃奶之前，用淡豆豉浓煎后服用，可以排出胎毒，效果最好。喂奶后也可以服用，且能助养脾气。
五、初生婴儿如果不排尿，这是胎热的表现。取大葱白，切成四片，取乳汁半盏，同煎片刻，分四次服用，即可见效。
六、初生婴儿大小便不通，导致腹部胀满痛苦欲死。急忙让人用开水漱口，然后用嘴吸吮婴儿的前心、后背以及手足心部位。
七、婴儿出生后，全身没有皮肤，用干燥的白米粉扑洒在身上，等到皮肤长好为止。
八、婴儿周岁以内，称为“芽儿”，切忌频繁洗澡，以免湿热之气郁结不散，导致身体生出赤游丹毒（一种游走性的红色丹疹），如同胭脂涂抹一般。
九、凡是给婴儿洗澡时，四周必须遮挡好，小心避免风寒。还必须掩好肚脐，不要让肚脐潮湿，否则风邪会侵入脐部，流毒于心脾。
十、婴儿突然惊厥抽搐，应当让其平卧在床席上，任由肢体牵动，不可紧紧抱住。这是因为风邪与痰浊相互激荡而逆行，损伤筋络所致。
（此方主治小儿两足红赤，游走性火毒，如从足部蔓延至小腹，或从手部蔓延至胸膛，多致不治。急忙使用此方救治，可挽回生机。同时也治疗大人双腿赤肿、流火，或湿热潜伏于经络中，皮肤表面不红不肿，但疼痛异常剧烈，患者自述腿部发热，他人触摸感觉极冷，这称为伏气之病。急忙用此膏药搽涂，立刻痊愈。）
马兰头（数量不限，冬季无叶时可取根亦可）
将上述药材用水洗净泥土，捣烂绞取汁液，用鸡毛蘸取汁液搽涂患处，干了再换。如果颈项、腿肋缝隙中溃烂，以此汁调飞罗面敷之。
Upon the birth of a newborn, the meridians and collaterals have not yet fully circulated. The infant relies on breast milk for nourishment. At this stage, the skin and flesh are not yet robust, and the essence and marrow are not yet full. Consequently, the infant is prone to external pathogenic invasions (Ke Wu, sudden fright or invasion by evil qi). Investigating the root cause, it often stems from improper care during birth.
1. For a newborn, first decoct Huanglian Gancao Tang (Coptis and Licorice Decoction) strongly. Wrap a finger with soft silk or cotton, dip it into the medicine, and use it to clear the anal opening of foul blood and turbid qi. If this is not done in time, the consequences may be severe.
2. If an infant does not cry after birth, immediately check the mouth for blisters. Puncture them promptly with a silver hairpin, wipe away the blood with cotton, and ensure no blood enters the throat; this can save the infant's life.
3. One method advises against cutting the umbilical cord too early. Wrap the infant in cotton clothing, burn the base of the umbilical cord with a lit paper twist, and only cut the cord once the infant's breathing has stabilized.
4. Before the infant begins breastfeeding, administer a strong decoction of Dan Dou Chi (Prepared Soybean). This effectively expels fetal toxins and is highly effective. It can also be given after breastfeeding, as it helps nourish Spleen Qi.
5. If a newborn does not urinate, this indicates Fetal Heat. Take four slices of the white part of green onion (Da Cong Bai), simmer them with half a cup of breast milk for a short while, divide into four doses, and administer. This will resolve the issue.
6. If a newborn suffers from constipation and urinary retention, leading to severe abdominal distension and distress, urgently have someone rinse their mouth with boiling water and then perform suction therapy (Za Fa) on the infant's anterior chest, back, and palms/soles.
7. If an infant is born without skin, dust the body generously with dry white rice flour until new skin forms.
8. Infants under one year old are referred to as "sprouts." Frequent bathing must be strictly avoided to prevent the accumulation of damp-heat, which can lead to Chi You Dan Du (Red Wandering Carbuncle/Dermatitis), appearing like applied rouge.
9. When bathing an infant, ensure all surroundings are shielded to carefully avoid wind and cold. The umbilicus must be kept covered and dry; otherwise, wind pathogens may enter through the navel and spread toxicity to the Heart and Spleen.
10. If an infant suddenly experiences convulsions or spasms, lay them flat on a mat. Allow the limbs to move freely; do not hold them tightly. This is because Wind and Phlegm agitate each other and move counter-currently, damaging the sinews and collaterals.
(This formula treats redness and swelling in both feet of infants, with wandering fire-toxin spreading from the feet to the lower abdomen or from the hands to the chest, conditions that are often fatal if not treated urgently. Apply this ointment immediately to save the patient. It is also effective for adults suffering from red, swollen legs with wandering fire, or damp-heat latent in the collaterals where the skin is neither red nor swollen but pain is extreme. Patients report heat in the legs, while palpation reveals coldness; this is known as Fu Qi Bing (Latent Qi Disease). Apply this ointment urgently for immediate relief.)
Ma Lan Tou (Kalimeris Indica / Kalimeris Root): Quantity unspecified. In winter, when leaves are absent, roots may be used.
Wash off the mud with water, pound into a paste, and squeeze out the juice. Dip a chicken feather into the juice and apply it to the affected area. Reapply when dry. If there are ulcers in the crevices of the neck, legs, or ribs, mix this juice with finely sifted flour (Fei Luo Mian) and apply as a poultice.
