胎热者，婴儿降生后，头面身体等处，均发现肌肤深红如绛色者是也。乃婴儿在胎元中，秉受母体之内热，
或遗传父母的淋毒，及杨梅结毒，以致儿体中内蕴毒火，胎毒待往外发之象。按肌红本婴儿之正色，有此天然之
正色，始易长养而茁壮。然必淡红色，且皮肤细润柔泽，非若胎热之深红色似绛，肌肤之粗糙不和者可比。欲详
细辨别，可诊察婴儿兼现其他的热象，如满口热气升腾，似喘而息粗，头面四肢皆肿胀，口内满成白腐，以指探
儿口内，则气热蒸手，目白赤红流泪，黄稠汁糊眼部全遍，目不能
启闭，或牙根肿硬，不易吸乳，大便秘结，小便短赤，或点滴皆无。凡此等现象，均呈于外之胎热症象也。治法先
用银针，在上下合骨处，及牙龈肿硬处，轻轻刺破；拭去紫瘀毒血。再用粗布裹食指，擦破口内各处白点，敷上
草灵丹。立能去其麻木，散其肿毒，斯时即能入乳汁。再用清热解毒药令儿作乳吸之，即可清胎热，又可解胎毒，
治法莫善于此也。其汤药方与草灵丹方列下。

胎热，是指婴儿出生后，头部、面部及身体等部位，皮肤呈现深红色，如同绛色（深红带紫的颜色）的情况。这是由于婴儿在母体胎元中，接受了母亲体内的内热，或者遗传了父母的淋病毒素以及梅毒结毒，导致婴儿体内蕴积毒火，是胎毒准备向外发散的征象。按照常理，肌肤红润本是婴儿正常的色泽，拥有这种天然的正常色泽，才容易养育并茁壮成长。但必须是淡红色，且皮肤细腻润泽，不能与胎热那种深红色似绛、肌肤粗糙不光滑的情况相提并论。想要详细辨别，可以诊察婴儿是否兼有其他的热象表现，例如满口热气升腾，呼吸急促粗重类似喘息，头面四肢全部肿胀，口腔内部布满白色腐物，用手指探入婴儿口中，感觉热气蒸手，眼白部分赤红流泪，黄色稠厚的分泌物糊住整个眼部，眼睛无法睁开或闭合，或者牙根肿胀坚硬，难以吸吮乳汁，大便秘结，小便短少且颜色深黄发红，或者点滴皆无。凡是这些现象，都是胎热症候在外部的表现。治疗方法先用银针，在上下颌骨连接处（合骨），以及牙龈肿胀坚硬的地方，轻轻刺破；擦去紫色的瘀毒血液。再用粗布包裹食指，擦破口腔内的各个白点，敷上草灵丹。立刻就能去除麻木感，消散肿毒，此时婴儿就能吃进乳汁。再用清热解毒的药物让婴儿随乳汁吸服，既可以清除胎热，又可以解除胎毒，治疗的方法没有比这更好的了。其汤药方剂与草灵丹方剂列在下面。

Tai Re (Fetal Heat) refers to the condition where, after birth, an infant's skin on the head, face, and body appears deep red, resembling Jiang Se (a dark red-purple hue). This occurs because the fetus, while in the womb, has absorbed internal heat from the mother or inherited toxins from syphilis or gonorrhea from the parents. Consequently, toxic fire accumulates within the infant's body, manifesting as a sign that fetal toxins are preparing to erupt outward. Generally, a rosy complexion is the natural, healthy color of infants; possessing this innate healthy color facilitates proper nourishment and robust growth. However, it must be a light red with fine, moist, and lustrous skin, which cannot be compared to the deep red, Jiang-like appearance and rough, unsmooth skin characteristic of Tai Re. To distinguish it in detail, one may examine whether the infant exhibits other signs of heat, such as rising heat in the mouth, rapid and coarse breathing resembling panting, swelling of the head, face, and limbs, white putrid patches filling the oral cavity, hot breath steaming the hand when probing the mouth with a finger, red and tearing whites of the eyes, thick yellow discharge covering the entire eye area preventing opening or closing, swollen and hard gums making breastfeeding difficult, constipation, short and dark-red urine, or even anuria. All these phenomena are external manifestations of the Tai Re syndrome. The treatment method first involves using a silver needle to gently puncture the junctions of the upper and lower jaws (He Gu) and the swollen, hard areas of the gums; wiping away the purple, toxic stasis blood. Then, wrap the index finger with coarse cloth to wipe open the white spots inside the mouth and apply Cao Ling Dan (Grass Spirit Powder). This immediately relieves numbness and dissipates swelling and toxicity, allowing the infant to take in breast milk. Subsequently, administer decoctions with heat-clearing and detoxifying properties for the infant to suckle along with the milk, thereby clearing fetal heat and resolving fetal toxins. No treatment method is superior to this. The formulas for the Decoction for Clearing Heat and Detoxifying and Cao Ling Dan are listed below.
