泻青丸 此肝经之主药。凡幼科中截风定搐之方，多用金石脑麝，无益有损。惟此方清心平肝，疏风凉
血。凡小儿作热不退，将成风搐，或已成风搐，但服此丸，其应如响。方虽古方，人不知用。予昔游潭州遇师指授，
始能用之。凡幼科中抱龙、保命、至保、新安金药、苏合香丸，一概不取。惟此方为幼科截风定搐之第一神方也。

小儿夜啼有数证∶有脏寒、有心热、有神不安、有拗哭。此中寒热不同，切宜详辨。
脏寒者，阴盛于夜，至夜则阴极发躁，寒
甚腹痛，以手按其腹则啼止，起手又啼。外证面青手冷，口不吮乳，夜啼不歇。加减当归散。
心热烦啼者，面红舌赤，或舌苔白涩，无灯则啼稍息，见灯则啼愈甚，宜导赤散加麦冬、灯芯，甚则加川
连、胆草。
神不安而啼者，睡中惊悸，抱母大哭，面色紫黑，盖神虚惊悸。宜安神丸定其心志。及吐泻后及大病后夜啼，
亦由心血不足，治同上。
凡夜啼见灯即止者，此为点灯习惯，乃为拗哭，实非病也。夜间切勿燃灯，任彼啼哭，二三夜自定。
泻青丸：这是治疗肝经疾病的主药。凡是儿科中用于截断风邪、停止抽搐的方剂，大多使用金石类矿物药和脑麝等芳香开窍药，这些药物不仅无益反而有害。只有这个方子能够清心火、平肝阳、疏风邪、凉血热。凡是小儿发热不退，即将形成风搐（惊风抽搐），或者已经发生风搐，只要服用此丸，疗效迅速显著。虽然这是古方，但人们不知道如何使用它。我过去在潭州游历时，得到老师的指点传授，才开始懂得使用它。凡是儿科中的抱龙丸、保命丹、至宝丹、新安金药、苏合香丸等，一概不予采用。只有这个方子是儿科中截断风邪、停止抽搐的第一神方。
川羌活、正川芎、黑山栀、龙胆草、全当归、北防风（以上各一两）、锦庄黄（五钱）。
将上述药物混合在一起，用火烘干干燥，研成细末，用炼蜜制成丸药，以青黛为衣，大小如大豆。每次服用一到二丸，用清茶送服化下。
导赤散：治疗心经有热，所有因心烦啼哭不安的症状，都有效。
怀生地（二钱）、川木通（一钱五分）、枯黄芩（一钱）、生粉草（五分）、淡竹叶（十四片）、灯芯（十根）。
用水煎煮，趁热服用。
小儿夜啼有几个证型：有脏寒、有心热、有神不安、有拗哭。这其中寒热性质不同，务必详细辨别。
脏寒型的，因为夜间阴气旺盛，到了夜晚则阴极而发躁动，寒气重导致腹痛，用手按压腹部时啼哭停止，手离开后又开始啼哭。外在表现为面色青、手脚冷，口不吮吸乳汁，夜间啼哭不停。用加减当归散治疗。
心热烦啼型的，面色红、舌头红赤，或者舌苔白且涩，没有灯光时啼哭稍微停止，见到灯光时啼哭更加严重，宜用导赤散加麦冬、灯芯，严重时加川连、胆草。
神不安而啼哭的，睡眠中惊悸，抱着母亲大哭，面色紫黑，这是因为心神虚弱受惊所致。宜用安神丸来安定其心志。以及吐泻之后及大病之后出现的夜啼，也是由于心血不足引起的，治疗方法同上。
凡是夜啼见到灯光就停止的，这是点灯的习惯，属于拗哭，实际上并不是病。夜间千万不要点燃灯火，任由他啼哭，两三个晚上自然就会安定。
Xieqing Wan (Drain the Liver Pill): This is the principal formula for treating Liver channel diseases. In pediatric practice, formulas used to arrest wind and stop convulsions often utilize mineral substances (Jinshi) and aromatic opening-orifice agents like Borneol (Nao) and Musk (She), which are of no benefit and may cause harm. Only this formula clears Heart fire, calms the Liver, disperses wind, and cools blood. Whenever a child has persistent fever that is about to develop into wind-convulsion (Feng Chu, i.e., convulsions due to liver wind), or has already developed such convulsions, administering this pill yields immediate and effective results. Although this is an ancient formula, people do not know how to use it. When I was traveling in Tanzhou in the past, my teacher instructed me on its application, and only then did I learn to use it. I reject all other pediatric formulas such as Baolong Wan, Baoming Dan, Zhibao Dan, Xin'an Jin Yao, and Suhe Xiang Wan. This formula alone is the premier miraculous prescription for arresting wind and stopping convulsions in pediatrics.

Mix the above herbs together, dry them with heat, grind into a fine powder, bind with refined honey to form pills, coat with Qing Dai (Indigo Naturalis), size of soybeans. Take 1–2 pills per dose, dissolve and take with clear tea.
Dao Chi San (Direct the Red Powder): Treats Heat in the Heart channel; effective for all cases of irritability, crying, and restlessness.

Pediatric nocturnal crying presents several syndromes: there is Cold in the Viscera, Heat in the Heart, Disquieted Spirit (Shen Bu An), and Stubborn Crying (Ao Ku). The cold and heat patterns differ significantly within these, requiring careful differentiation.
In cases of Visceral Cold, Yin predominates at night; when night falls, extreme Yin causes restlessness, severe cold leads to abdominal pain, crying stops upon abdominal pressure but resumes when the hand is removed. External signs include a cyan complexion, cold hands and feet, refusal to suckle milk, and ceaseless nocturnal crying. Treat with Jiawei Danggui San (Modified Angelica Decoction).
In cases of Heart Heat causing irritable crying, the face is red, the tongue is crimson, or the tongue coating is white and rough. Crying subsides slightly in the absence of light but intensifies upon exposure to light. Treat with Dao Chi San added with Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix) and Deng Xin (Junci Medulla); if severe, add Chuan Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma) and Dan Cao (Gentianae Radix).
In cases of crying due to Disquieted Spirit, the child startles and palpitates during sleep, cries loudly while clinging to the mother, and has a purplish-black complexion, indicating deficiency of the Spirit and fright. Treat with Anshen Wan (Calming the Spirit Pill) to stabilize the mind. Nocturnal crying following vomiting/diarrhea or after severe illness is also due to insufficiency of Heart Blood, treated similarly.
Nocturnal crying that ceases immediately upon seeing a lamp is merely a habituated response to lighting, classified as Stubborn Crying (Ao Ku), and is not actually a disease. Do not light lamps at night; allow the child to cry freely, and they will settle naturally within two or three nights.
