鲁伯嗣引用钱乙(字仲阳)的话说:新生儿出生后,如果清理口腔内的污秽不彻底,使其咽入喉中,就会导致呕吐,并引发多种疾病。所谓“呕”,是指有声音的呕吐;所谓“吐”,是指吐出乳汁。凡是给小儿喂奶,不宜过饱,如果吃得太饱就会溢出,从而导致呕吐。胃容纳乳汁,就像容器盛放物品一样,杯子太小,就不能容纳大碗的东西;雨水骤急则沼泽满溢,酒倒得猛则酒杯翻倒,这是必然的道理。乳母无知,只想让孩子尽快长大,没有节制地哺乳,或者在孩子睡着时还强行喂奶,孩子怎么会有满足的时候呢?这是致病之源,从此逐渐加深,导致胃气虚弱,慢惊风也就由此产生,能不谨慎吗?遇到这种情况,只要节制哺乳就是上策,严重的应当断奶。在此之前,乳母可以服用调理气机的药剂,婴儿服用消食丸,以化解乳汁、强壮胃气为上策。
议论道:吐乳这一症状,有好几种情况,有寒证也有热证,应当自行辨别。如果乳汁从口角流出,这是因为乳汁过多,消化不及,满了自然溢出,这不算病,常服用消乳丸或异功散,主要应让乳母节制哺乳。寒性呕吐可服用观音散、香朴散、快脾散等药物。热性呕吐则表现为额头温热,有黄色涎沫且口渴,小便短赤,这是热吐,多因伤于暑热所致,乳母和婴儿同服香薷散、五苓散。又有风痰引起的呕吐,是由于伤风未愈,呕吐物中夹杂痰液,如果拖延日久必然引动肝风,仍宜使用疏风化痰的药物,如竹茹汤去桂枝,或五苓散、青州白丸子、温胆汤,又当留心调治,紫霜丸也可以服用。

Lu Bosi quotes Qian Yi (courtesy name Zhongyang): After a newborn is born, if the filth in the infant's mouth is not thoroughly cleaned and swallowed into the throat, it will cause vomiting and lead to various diseases. "Ou" (vomiting with sound) refers to vomiting accompanied by noise; "Tu" (spitting up) refers to spitting out milk. When feeding infants, one should not overfill their stomachs. If the stomach is full, it overflows, causing vomiting. The stomach holds milk like a vessel holds objects; a small cup cannot contain the contents of a large bowl. Just as sudden heavy rain causes marshes to overflow and pouring wine too quickly overturns a goblet, this is an inevitable principle. If the nursing mother is ignorant and only desires for the child to grow up quickly without any regulation, or forces the breast into the baby's mouth while the baby is asleep, how can the baby ever feel satisfied? This is the source of disease, gradually deepening day by day, leading to deficiency of Stomach Qi, and slow convulsions arise from this. One must be cautious. In such cases, regulating breastfeeding is the best approach; in severe cases, weaning is necessary. Before that, the nursing mother may take formulas to regulate Qi, and the infant may take Xiaoshi Wan (Digestive Pills), aiming to transform milk and strengthen the Stomach.
Discussion: There are several types of milk-spitting symptoms, including cold and heat patterns, which must be distinguished. If milk flows from the corners of the mouth, it is because there is too much milk and insufficient digestion, leading to overflow when full; this is not a disease. Regularly taking Xiao Ru Wan (Milk-Dissolving Pills) or Yigong San (Extraordinary Efficacy Powder) is recommended, primarily requiring the mother to regulate breastfeeding. For cold-type vomiting, Guanyin San (Guanyin Powder), Xiangpo San (Aucklandia and Magnolia Powder), and Kuaipi San (Spleen-Strengthening Powder) can be taken. For heat-type vomiting, characterized by warmth on the forehead, yellow phlegm, thirst, and scanty dark urine, it is due to heat, often caused by summerheat injury. Both mother and infant should take Xiangru San (Elsholtzia Powder) and Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria). There is also vomiting due to wind-phlegm, resulting from unresolved wind-cold, where vomit contains phlegm. If prolonged, it may generate internal wind; thus, wind-dispelling and phlegm-resolving medicines should be used, such as Zhuru Tang (Bamboo Shavings Decoction) minus Cinnamon Twig, Wuling San, Qingzhou Baizhi Wan (Qingzhou White Pill), and Wendan Tang (Warm the Gallbladder Decoction). Careful treatment is required, and Zishuang Wan (Purple Frost Pill) may also be taken.
Yang Shi Xiao Ru Wan (Yang’s Milk-Dissolving Pill): Warms the middle, opens the chest diaphragm, stops vomiting, and resolves milk food stagnation. A deep pulse indicates food stagnation and failure to digest.
Ingredients: Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma, stir-fried, 1 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, each 0.5 liang), Suosharen (Amomi Fructus), Shenqu (Massae Fermentatae Medicamentosae, stir-fried), Maiya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus, stir-fried, each 1 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Grind the above ingredients into powder. Use soaked snow cream water (note: likely a textual error for rice water or similar) to make pills the size of millet seeds. For children over seven years old, make them the size of mung beans, 30 pills per dose. Take after meals with ginger decoction.
Another prescription treats vomiting of milk or green stools in infants within one hundred days:
Take one cup of breast milk from a young woman, add 10 cloves (Dingxiang), and 1 qian of peeled Chenpi. Simmer together in a vessel for thirty boils. Remove the cloves and Chenpi. Warm slightly and administer to the infant when hungry.
Xiaoshi Wan (Digestive Pills): Treats excessive cold intake during infant feeding, where cold qi accumulates in the Spleen and Stomach. The Stomach is the sea of water and grain; the Spleen grinds and digests it. When Stomach Qi is harmonious, milk and food are digested. If the Spleen is injured by cold, retained food fails to digest. This formula broadens the middle, regulates Qi, resolves milk and food stagnation, and improves complexion.
Ingredients: Suosharen, Chenpi, Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma, baked), Ezhu (Curcumae Rhizoma, baked), Shenqu (stir-fried), Maiya (stir-fried, each 0.5 liang), Xiangfu (1 liang, stir-fried).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into powder. Make pills with wheat paste, size of mung beans. Take 20 pills after meals with Perilla decoction.
Heji Ju Guanyin San (Official Pharmacy Guanyin Powder): Treats external wind-cold and internal Spleen-Stomach injury in infants, causing retching, vomiting, diarrhea, inability to feed, and gradual emaciation. Generally, Spleen deficiency leads to diarrhea, Stomach deficiency leads to vomiting; both deficient leads to continuous vomiting and diarrhea. This formula greatly warms and nourishes the Spleen and Stomach and promotes appetite.
Ingredients: Shilianrou (Nelumbinis Semen, heart removed), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Shenqu (stir-fried, each 3 qian), Fuling (Poria, 2 qian), Gancao (honey-fried), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Mian Huangqi (Astragali Radix, honey-fried), Baibian Dou (Phaseoli Semen, stir-fried, peeled), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, each 1 qian).

Preparation and Administration: Cut into pieces for decoction. Take 3 qian per dose with one cup of water, five slices of ginger, and one jujube. If diarrhea is severe, add Muxiang and RouDoukou.
Xiangru San (Elsholtzia Powder): Treats disharmony of cold and heat in the zang-fu, irregular diet, and injury from cold, summerheat, wind, and cold qi, causing conflict between healthy and pathogenic qi, weakness of intestines and stomach, abdominal pain, cholera-like reversal of Qi, fever, headache with vomiting/diarrhea, or muscle cramps.
Ingredients: Xiangru (Elsholtziae Herba, 1 liang), Baibian Dou (stir-fried), Nongpuo (prepared with ginger juice, each 0.5 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Cut into pieces for decoction. Take 3 qian per dose with one cup of water and three slices of ginger. Another variant adds Huanglian for dysentery; another adds Xiong, Zhi, and Xiangsu San for cholera-like vomiting/diarrhea and summerheat injury.
Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria): See Question 52.
Zhuru Tang (Bamboo Shavings Decoction): Treats Stomach affected by pathogenic heat, restlessness, preference for cold, and persistent vomiting.
Ingredients: Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix, 7.5 qian), Banxia (soaked, 0.5 liang), Gancao (1 qian).
Preparation and Administration: Cut into pieces. Take 3 qian per dose with one cup of water, add Zhuru (Bambusa Textilis Caulis internodes), a few jujubes, and five slices of fresh ginger. Decoct to 70%, strain, and take the clear liquid slowly while slightly cool, at any time. Adding Fuling (3 qian) is especially good.
Suhe Xiang Wan (Styrax Pill): Treats corpse-transmission bone-steaming, various consumptive diseases, regulates Qi and resolves phlegm, sudden severe chest pain, ghost-malaria, cholera vomiting/diarrhea, red-and-white dysentery, and infantile convulsions.
Ingredients: Suhe Xiang You (Styrax Oil, 5 qian, mixed with Anxi Xiang paste), Anxi Xiang (Liquidambaris Resina, 1 liang, powdered separately, boiled with half sheng of pure wine into paste), Dingxiang (Caryophylli Flos), Qingmuxiang (Lithospermi Radix), Baitanxiang (Santalum Album Lignum), Chenxiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum), Bibo (Piperis Longi Fructus), Xiangfumii (Cyperi Rhizoma), Hezi (Myrobalani Fructus, baked, flesh only), Wu Xi (Rhinocerotis Cornu, shaved), Zhusha (Cinnabaris, ground and washed with water, each 1 liang), Xunluxiang (Boswelliae Resina), Piannao (Borneolum Syntheticum, ground, each 5 qian), Shexiang (Moschus, 7.5 qian).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into powder. Mix with Anxi Xiang paste and honey to make pills the size of water caltrop seeds. Take empty-stomach with boiling water. Infants take one pill, elderly take four, with wine. Alternatively, wrap one pill-sized ball in wax paper, keep in a red silk bag, and wear constantly to ward off evil. Removing Piannao yields Moschus Suhe Xiang Wan, treating all evils, chest oppression, intestinal rumbling, and food stagnation, with other indications same as above.

Ingredients: Tian Nanxing (Arisaematis Rhizoma, raw), Baifuzi (Typhonii Rhizoma, raw, each 3 liang), Chuan Wutou (Aconiti Radix Lateralis Preparata, navel and skin removed), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, raw, each 7 liang).
