夜啼的寒热症状源于胎儿时期所受的影响，必须通过观察面色和形体来仔细辨别。属于脾经寒证的面色青白，手脚和腹部都发冷，身体蜷曲腰部疼痛；面色红赤、小便闭塞不通则属于心经热证。热证使用导赤散，寒证使用钩藤饮。如果没有明显的寒热或表里证候，古法中的蝉花散最为精妙。
【注】小儿出生后夜间啼哭，原因主要有两种：一是脾寒，二是心热。这些情况都是受自母体胎中，通过观察其面色和形体就能知晓病情了。如果面色青白，手脚和腹部都冷，不想吃奶，身体蜷曲不能伸直，这是脾寒，用钩藤饮主治；如果面色红赤嘴唇红，身体和腹部都热，小便不利，烦躁多哭，这是心热，用导赤散主治。如果没有上述形色证候，只是单纯多啼哭的，用蝉花散最合适。

婴儿出生全身皮肤黄如金色，是湿热熏蒸且胎中感受较深所致，治疗应当采用渗湿兼清热的法则，地黄汤和犀角散两方效果神奇。
【注】胎黄病，表现为全身面目皆黄，颜色像金子一样，是因为孕妇体内湿热太盛，小儿在胎中接受了母亲的胎毒热邪，所以出生后就有这种病症。治疗方法应当渗湿清热，必须根据病情轻重分别治疗，颜色微黄的用生地黄汤，深黄色的用犀角散。

Night crying's cold and heat patterns stem from influences received in the womb; one must clearly distinguish them by observing facial color and body form. Cold involving the Spleen Meridian presents with a cyanotic-white face, cold hands and abdomen, and pain causing the child to curl the waist. A red face and urinary retention indicate Heart Heat. For Heat, use Daochi San (Cinchona Decoction); for Cold, use Gouteng Yin (Uncaria Decoction). If there are no obvious exterior or interior cold-heat signs, the ancient method of Chanhua San (Cicada Flower Powder) is most exquisite.
[Note] Night crying in newborns has two main causes: Spleen Cold and Heart Heat. Both originate from the fetal period. Observing facial color and physical form reveals the condition. If the face is cyanotic-white, hands and abdomen are cold, the infant refuses to suckle milk, and curls the waist unable to extend, it is Spleen Cold, treated primarily with Gouteng Yin (Uncaria Decoction). If the face is red, lips are crimson, body and abdomen are hot, urination is difficult, and the infant is irritable and cries frequently, it is Heart Heat, treated primarily with Daochi San (Cinchona Decoction). If none of the above signs appear, but the infant simply cries frequently, Chanhua San (Cicada Flower Powder) is most appropriate.

Infants born with yellow skin all over like gold suffer from deep-seated damp-heat steaming and toxic influence received in the womb. The treatment method should be to leach out dampness and clear heat simultaneously; Dihuang Tang (Rehmannia Decoction) and Xijiao San (Rhinoceros Horn Powder) are miraculous formulas.
[Note] Congenital Jaundice (Taihuang) manifests as yellowing of the whole body and face, with a golden hue. This occurs because the pregnant woman had excessive damp-heat, and the fetus absorbed the mother's toxic heat. Therefore, this condition appears after birth. The treatment principle is to leach out dampness and clear heat, distinguishing severity. For mild yellowing, use Shengdihuang Tang (Fresh Rehmannia Decoction); for deep yellowing, use Xijiao San (Rhinoceros Horn Powder).
