小儿肿病有二。一者气肿。因脾胃虚而气攻腹。腹胀误行转药下之。致虚气上附于肺。行入四肢面目而作
肿也。疳气亦然。二者水肿。因上焦烦渴。饮水无度。脾胃虚而不能约制其水。肾反乘脾。土随水行。上附于
肺。肺主皮肤。脾主四肢。故水流走于四肢皮肤而作肿也。甚则肾水浸浮于肺。则生大喘
。为难治也。

小儿的肿病主要有两种。一种是气肿，由于脾胃虚弱导致气机攻冲腹部，出现腹胀时误用泻下药治疗，致使虚气上逆附着于肺，进而流注到四肢和面部而形成肿胀。疳气病引起的肿胀也是这种情况。另一种是水肿，由于上焦烦渴，饮水无度，而脾胃虚弱不能制约水液，肾水反而克制脾土，土随水行，上逆附着于肺。因为肺主司皮肤，脾主司四肢，所以水流走窜于四肢和皮肤之间形成肿胀。严重时肾水浸淫浮越于肺，则产生严重气喘，这属于难治之症。

Pediatric edema is categorized into two types. The first is Qi edema, caused by Spleen and Stomach deficiency leading to Qi attacking the abdomen. If abdominal distension is mistakenly treated with purgatives, deficient Qi rises and attaches to the Lung, flowing into the four limbs and face, resulting in swelling. This mechanism also applies to swelling caused by Gan Qi (nutritional deficiency syndrome). The second type is Water edema, caused by excessive thirst in the Upper Jiao and uncontrolled water intake. Due to Spleen and Stomach deficiency, water cannot be regulated; Kidney Water overacts on Spleen Earth, causing Earth to follow Water upward and attach to the Lung. Since the Lung governs the skin and the Spleen governs the four limbs, water flows through the limbs and skin, causing swelling. In severe cases, Kidney Water floods the Lung, causing severe asthma, which is difficult to treat.
