〔钱〕小儿初生三日内吐泻壮热，不思乳食，大便乳食不消或白色，是伤寒，当下
之并和胃，下用白饼子（癖），和胃用益黄散（脾）主之。
儿生三日以上至十日，吐泻身温凉，不思乳食，大便青白色，乳食不消，此上实下虚也。更有五脏兼见证，
肺，睡露睛喘气。心，惊悸饮水。脾，困倦饶睡。肝，呵欠烦闷。肾，不语畏明。当先视儿兼藏证，先泻其所实
者，而补其虚，如脾虚，益黄散主之，此二证多病于秋夏也。
五月夏至后，吐泻身壮热者，此热也，盖小儿脏腑十分中九分热也。或因伤热乳食不消，泻深黄色。玉露散主之。

六月大暑后，吐泻身大温而似热，脏腑中六分热、四分冷也，吐呕乳食不消，
泻黄白色，似渴或食乳或不食乳，食前少服益黄散，食后多服玉露散。广亲宫五太
尉，病吐泻不止，米谷不化。众医用温药，一日而加喘、吐不定。钱氏曰，当以凉药治之，所以然者，谓伤热在
内也，用石膏汤三服并服之。众医皆言吐泻多而米谷又不化，当补脾，何以用凉药。王信。众医皆用补脾丁香
散三服。钱医后至，曰不可服此，三日后必腹满身热，饮水吐逆。三日外，果如所言。所以然者，谓六月
热甚，伏入腹中，而令引饮，热伤脾胃，即大吐泻也，医又行温药，使上焦亦热，故喘而引饮，三日当甚。众师不能
治。复召钱至，见其热证，以白虎汤（发热）三服，更以白饼子下之，一日减药二分，二日三日又与白虎汤各二服，
四日用石膏汤一服，及旋合麦门冬、黄芩、脑子、牛黄、天竺黄、茯苓，以朱砂为衣，服五丸，竹叶汤化下，热退而安。

大便，不渴。食前多服益黄散，食后少服玉露散。广亲宫七太尉七岁，病吐泻，是时七月，其证全不食而昏睡，睡觉
而闷乱，哽气干呕，大便或有或无，不渴。众医作惊治之，疑睡故也。钱曰，先补脾，后退热，
与使君子丸（疳）补脾，石膏汤退热，次日又以水银硫黄末研和，以姜水调下一字。钱
曰凡吐泻，五月内九分下，而一分补，八月内九分补、而一分下，此者是脾虚泻，医妄治之，至于虚损，下之即死，
即当补脾，若以使君子丸，恐缓，已又留温胃益脾药治之。医者李生曰，何食而哕？钱曰脾虚津少即呕逆。曰何泻
青褐水？曰肠胃至虚，冷极故也。钱治而愈。
八月秋分后，吐泻身冷无阳也，不能食乳，干呕哕，泻青褐水，当补脾，益黄散主之，不可下也。
〔田〕凡小儿盛暑吐泻，邪热在下焦则泻，在上焦则吐，亡津必渴，用玉露散，虽吐，时时与啜之，过三日必愈。

【钱乙】小儿出生三日内，出现呕吐、腹泻及高热，不吃奶食，大便中夹杂未消化的乳食或呈白色，这是伤寒证，应当使用攻下法并调和胃气。攻下用白饼子（治疗积癖），调和胃气用益黄散（治疗脾虚）主治。
小儿出生三日以上至十日，出现呕吐、腹泻，体温温和凉爽，不吃奶食，大便呈青白色，乳食不消化，这是上实下虚的证候。此外还有五脏兼夹的症状：肺脏受邪，表现为睡眠时眼睛半睁、气喘；心脏受邪，表现为惊悸、想喝水；脾脏受邪，表现为困倦嗜睡；肝脏受邪，表现为打哈欠、烦躁胸闷；肾脏受邪，表现为不说话、怕光。应当先观察小儿兼有的脏腑症状，先泻其有余（实证），再补其不足（虚证）。例如脾虚，用益黄散主治。这两种证候多在秋季和夏季发病。
五月夏至之后，出现呕吐、腹泻且身体高热，这是热证，因为小儿脏腑中有十分之九的热。可能是因为伤于热的乳食导致不消化，腹泻物呈深黄色。用玉露散主治。
玉露散方（又名甘露散）
寒水石（半两，质地柔软微带青黑色，中间有细纹的） 生甘草（一钱） 石膏（半两，质地坚硬洁白且有纹理如墙壁般，用手无法掰开的，如果没有，可以用方解石代替，方解石坚硬洁白类似石膏，敲击时断面呈方块状的是真品）
以上药物，共同研成细末。每次服用一字或五分至一钱，饭后用温开水调服。（海藏说：如果不是肾热相火大盛的情况，不宜服用此药）
六月大暑之后，出现呕吐、腹泻，身体大温而似有热象，脏腑中有六分热、四分冷，呕吐乳食不消化，腹泻物呈黄白色，似口渴或想吃奶或不想吃奶，饭前少量服用益黄散，饭后大量服用玉露散。广亲宫的五太尉，患呕吐腹泻不止，米谷不消化。众医生用温性药物治疗，一天后病情加重出现气喘、呕吐不定。钱乙说，应当用凉性药物治疗，之所以这样说是因为内有热邪损伤。用石膏汤连服三剂。众医生说呕吐腹泻严重且米谷不化，应当补脾，为什么用凉药？王信听从了钱乙的建议。众医生又用补脾的丁香散连服三剂。钱乙的医生后来到达，说不可服用此药，三天后必定会出现腹部胀满、身体发热、想喝水、呕吐逆气的症状。三天后，果然如所言。之所以这样说是因为六月天气炎热，热邪潜伏入腹中，导致引水自救，热邪损伤脾胃，引起剧烈吐泻，医生又用温性药物，使上焦也变热，所以气喘且引水自救，三天后病情会加重。众位老师无法治愈。再次召见钱乙，见他呈现热证，用白虎汤（治疗发热）连服三剂，再用白饼子攻下，第一天减少药量二分，第二、三天又给予白虎汤各两剂，第四天用石膏汤一剂，以及临时配制麦门冬、黄芩、冰片、牛黄、天竺黄、茯苓，以朱砂为衣，服用五丸，用竹叶汤送服，热退而病安。
七月立秋之后，出现呕吐、腹泻，身体温和，脏腑中有三分热、七分冷，不能吃奶，多似睡眠，烦闷扰乱，叹气长吁，睡觉时眼睛半睁，嘴唇发白多呃逆，想大便但不渴。饭前多服益黄散，饭后少服玉露散。广亲宫的七太尉七岁，患呕吐腹泻，当时是七月，症状是完全不吃东西且昏睡，醒来后烦闷扰乱，叹气干呕，大便有时有有时没有，不渴。众医生当作惊风治疗，怀疑是因为睡觉的缘故。钱乙说，先补脾，后退热，给予使君子丸（治疗疳积）补脾，石膏汤退热，第二天又用水银硫黄末研磨混合，用姜水调服一字。钱乙说凡是吐泻，五月内十分之九攻下，一分补脾，八月内十分之九补脾，一分攻下，这是脾虚泻，医生误治，导致虚损，如果攻下就会死亡，此时应当补脾，如果使用使君子丸，恐怕见效慢，于是又留下温胃益脾的药物进行治疗。医者李生问：吃什么导致呃逆？钱乙说：脾虚津液少就会呕吐逆气。问：为什么泻青褐色水？答：肠胃极度虚弱，寒气极盛所致。钱乙治疗后痊愈。
八月秋分之后，出现呕吐、腹泻，身体寒冷无阳气，不能吃奶，干呕呃逆，泻青褐色水，应当补脾，用益黄散主治，不可攻下。
【田氏】凡是小儿在盛暑季节发生吐泻，邪热在下焦则腹泻，在上焦则呕吐，亡失津液必然口渴，用玉露散，虽然呕吐，也要时时喂服，过三天必定痊愈。如果身体发热脉大，小便黄，用五苓散、益元散各一半，用热汤调匀，温服。如果身体凉爽脉细，小便青，早晨服益黄散，午后服玉ula散。如果过了四五天变得困弱，宜用异功散、和中散、开胃丸。
【张洁古】如果有风邪导致的腹泻，用防风、羌活（意思是吐泻兼有肝病引起的风搐拘急）。有热邪导致的腹泻，用黄连、黄芩、大黄（意思是吐泻兼有心病引起的身体发热）。有寒邪导致的腹泻，用附子（意思是吐泻兼有肾病引起的身体寒冷，或小腿寒冷逆冷）。有湿邪导致的腹泻，用白术、茯苓（意思是吐泻兼有本脏脾病引起的多睡、体重、昏倦）。有肺病导致的腹泻用芍药、桂心，定喘用麦冬、人参，严重的多加槟榔，大便不通加大黄（意思是吐泻兼有肺病引起的喘嗽）。还要详细看病的新久，新病则止泻，久病则有肠风的隐患，应当推陈致新，方法是用宣风散（痘疹发热）导泄过后，再用入脏君臣药调理，宜用益黄散。
【曾世荣】有小儿在盛夏初秋，夜晚乘凉吹风，口渴饮水，过量食用生冷水果，攻激肠胃，于是突然呕吐腹泻，传变为手足都麻痹，筋脉挛缩疼痛，疼痛时神志不安，如果用惊风证治疗，就错了。所谓筋遇寒则牵引收缩，又以阳明经滋养宗筋，属于胃与大肠，因为内伤生冷饮食，外感风邪，吐泻交作，胃气因虚，不能滋养宗筋，也导致挛急，此证口气温热，面色惨淡，脉沉缓，再用手按压两膝腕下，见到筋脉收缩牵引到皮肤间，就是这种征候。治疗用理中汤加附子半生半炮，加水生姜煮熟煎服，空腹温服，还要详细辨别虚实冷热，才能治疗。有几岁的小儿忽然患吐泻，开始是因为夏秋白天靠近极热的地方，解开衣服乘凉，夜晚卧在有风的地方所致，大概是先感受热邪，后感受冷邪，阴阳相搏，气射入中焦，名为霍乱。《活人书》用香薷散调治，因为它能分别水谷，升降阴阳。又说：热多想喝水的用五苓散，寒多不想喝水的用理中丸。详察这些治法，难道不是想要平复中焦吗？
【薛己】凡是暑令吐泻，手足指头热，口渴饮冷者，属于阳证，宜用清凉药剂。手足指头冷，口渴饮热者，属于阴证，宜用温补药剂。凡是病属阴证误用寒凉的，死亡时手足青黯，或遍身皆然。

[Qian Yi] In infants within three days after birth, if vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever occur, with a refusal to suckle or eat, and stools containing undigested milk or appearing white, this is a Cold Damage (Shanghan) syndrome. It should be treated with purgation and stomach harmonization. For purgation, use Baibing Zi (White Pill) to treat accumulations; for stomach harmonization, use Yihuang San (Yellow-Protecting Powder) to treat Spleen deficiency. These are the primary treatments.
From three days to ten days after birth, if vomiting, diarrhea, and a lukewarm body temperature occur, with a refusal to suckle or eat, and stools appearing greenish-white with undigested milk, this indicates an Excess in the Upper and Deficiency in the Lower pattern. Additionally, there may be concurrent manifestations of the Five Zang organs: Lung involvement presents as sleeping with eyes half-open and panting; Heart involvement presents as palpitations and thirst; Spleen involvement presents as lethargy and excessive sleepiness; Liver involvement presents as yawning and irritability with chest oppression; Kidney involvement presents as muteness and photophobia. One must first observe the concurrent organ symptoms, first draining the Excess and then tonifying the Deficiency. For example, for Spleen deficiency, Yihuang San is used. These two patterns often occur in autumn and summer.
After the Summer Solstice in May, if vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever occur, this is a Heat syndrome, because infants have nine parts heat out of ten in their internal organs. This may be due to dietary injury from hot milk/food causing indigestion, resulting in deep yellow diarrhea. Yulu San (Jade Dew Powder) is used.
Yulu San Formula (also known as Ganlu San):
Hanshuishi (Calcitritum, half tael, soft and slightly dark green-black with fine lines inside)
Sheng Gancao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, one qian)
Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum, half tael, hard, white, and textured like a wall, cannot be split by hand; if unavailable, Fangjiexie [Arsenolite] can substitute, which should be hard, white, similar to Gypsum, and break into square fragments when struck).
Grind all ingredients into a fine powder. Take one zi or five fen to one qian per dose, mixed with warm water after meals. (Haizang stated: Do not use this unless there is severe Fire of the Ministerial Heat in the Kidney.)
After Major Heat in June, if vomiting, diarrhea, and a significantly warm body resembling fever occur, indicating six parts heat and four parts cold in the internal organs, with vomiting of undigested milk, yellowish-white diarrhea, apparent thirst, variable appetite for milk, take small doses of Yihuang San before meals and large doses of Yulu San after meals. The Fifth Taiwei of Guangqin Palace suffered from incessant vomiting and diarrhea with undigested rice and grain. Physicians used warming medicines, but after one day, wheezing and irregular vomiting worsened. Qian Yi said, "It should be treated with cooling medicines because heat is injured internally." Use Shigao Tang (Gypsum Decoction) for three doses. Other physicians argued that since vomiting and diarrhea were severe with undigested food, the Spleen should be tonified, questioning why cooling medicines were used. Wang Xin agreed. The other physicians then used Dingxi San (Clove Powder) to tonify the Spleen for three doses. When Qian's physician arrived later, he said, "Do not take this. In three days, abdominal distension, body heat, thirst, and vomiting/regurgitation will occur." Three days later, it happened exactly as predicted. This is because the heat in June penetrates deeply into the abdomen, causing thirst; heat injures the Spleen and Stomach, leading to severe vomiting and diarrhea. The physicians' use of warming medicines caused heat in the Upper Jiao, leading to wheezing and thirst, worsening in three days. The senior teachers could not cure it. Qian Yi was summoned again, saw the heat signs, administered Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) for three doses, followed by Baibing Zi for purgation. On the first day, reduce the dosage by two fen; on the second and third days, give Baihu Tang twice each. On the fourth day, give Shigao Tang once, along with a freshly prepared pill of Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum), Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis), Tianzhuhuang (Spongilla Calcarea), and Fuling (Poria), coated with Zhusha (Cinnabaris). Take five pills, washed down with Zhuyetang (Bamboo Leaf Decoction). The heat subsided, and the patient recovered.
After Start of Autumn in July, if vomiting, diarrhea, and a moderate body temperature occur, indicating three parts heat and seven parts cold in the internal organs, inability to suckle, excessive sleepiness, irritability, sighing with long exhalations, sleeping with eyes half-open, white lips with frequent hiccups, desire to defecate without thirst, take more Yihuang San before meals and less Yulu San after meals. The Seventh Taiwei of Guangqin Palace, aged seven, suffered from vomiting and diarrhea in July. His symptoms included complete anorexia and coma, waking up irritable, sighing with dry retching, intermittent stools, and no thirst. Other physicians treated it as Wind-Stroke, suspecting it was due to sleep. Qian Yi said, "First tonify the Spleen, then clear heat." Give Shijunzi Wan (Quisqualis Pill) to tonify the Spleen and Shigao Tang to clear heat. The next day, mix Shuiyin (Mercurius) and Liuhuang (Sulfur) powders, taken with ginger water. Qian Yi stated: For vomiting and diarrhea, in May, use nine parts purgation and one part tonification; in August, use nine parts tonification and one part purgation. This case was Spleen-deficiency diarrhea, mistreated by physicians, leading to deficiency damage. Purgation would cause death; thus, Spleen tonification is required. Using Shijunzi Wan might be too slow, so warming and Spleen-tonifying medicines were retained. Physician Li Sheng asked, "What food causes hiccups?" Qian Yi replied, "Spleen deficiency and scanty fluids cause vomiting and regurgitation." Asked, "Why green-brown watery stool?" Answered, "Extreme emptiness of the intestines and stomach, and extreme cold." Qian Yi cured him.
After Autumn Equinox in August, if vomiting, diarrhea, and a cold body lacking Yang Qi occur, inability to suckle, dry retching/hiccups, green-brown watery stool, tonify the Spleen using Yihuang San. Do not use purgation.
[Tian Shi] In general, for pediatric vomiting and diarrhea during intense summer heat, if pathogenic heat is in the Lower Jiao, it causes diarrhea; if in the Upper Jiao, it causes vomiting. Loss of fluids leads to thirst. Use Yulu San. Even if vomiting occurs, administer frequently in small sips; recovery is expected within three days. If body heat and a large pulse are present with yellow urine, use half Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) and half Yiyuan San (Benefiting Origin Powder), mixed with hot water and taken warm. If the body is cool with a fine pulse and blue-green urine, take Yihuang San in the morning and Yulu San in the afternoon. If weakness persists after four or five days, use Yigong San (Extraordinary Power Powder), Hezhong San (Harmonize the Middle Powder), or Kaiwei Wan (Open the Stomach Pill).
[Zhang Congzheng] If diarrhea is caused by Wind, use Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) and Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix)—indicating vomiting/diarrhea accompanied by Liver Wind spasms and stiffness. If caused by Heat, use Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), and Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma)—indicating vomiting/diarrhea accompanied by Heart disease and body heat. If caused by Cold, use Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata)—indicating vomiting/diarrhea accompanied by Kidney disease, body coldness, or cold/reversal in the lower legs. If caused by Dampness, use Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) and Fuling (Poria)—indicating vomiting/diarrhea accompanied by Spleen disease, excessive sleep, heaviness, and lethargy. If diarrhea is due to Lung disease, use Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix) and Guixin (Cinnamomi Ramulus); for wheezing, use Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) and Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma); for severe cases, add Bolang (Arecae Semen); if constipation exists, add Dahuang. Also, examine whether the disease is new or chronic. New diseases should be stopped immediately; chronic diseases risk Intestinal Wind, requiring elimination of stale matter and promotion of new growth. Use Xuanfeng San (Wind-Releasing Powder) to guide out pathogens, then regulate with Zang-targeting Jun-Chen medicines, preferably Yihuang San.
[Zeng Shirong] In mid-summer to early autumn, if children sleep in the wind at night, drink water when thirsty, and overeat raw/cold fruits, irritating the intestines and stomach, sudden vomiting and diarrhea may occur, progressing to paralysis of hands and feet, tendon contraction, and pain. During pain, spirit and consciousness become unsettled. Treating this as a Wind-Stroke syndrome is erroneous. Tendons contract when exposed to cold. The Yangming channel nourishes the Zongjin (major tendons), belonging to the Stomach and Large Intestine. Internal injury from raw/cold diet and external invasion of Wind cause alternating vomiting and diarrhea. Stomach Qi becomes deficient and fails to nourish the Zongjin, leading to contraction. Signs include warm breath, pale complexion, deep-slow pulse, and visible tendon retraction under the skin upon pressing the knees and wrists. Treat with Lizhong Tang (Middle-Warming Decoction) plus Fuzi (half raw, half processed), decocted with water and fresh ginger, taken warm on an empty stomach. Adjust treatment based on deficiency/excess and cold/heat. Another case involved a child of several years suffering sudden vomiting and diarrhea after playing in extreme heat during the day, removing clothes to cool off, and sleeping in the wind at night. This resulted from initial heat exposure followed by cold exposure, where Yin and Yang contend, Qi strikes the Middle Jiao, named Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder). *Huoren Shu* recommends Xiangru San (Elsholtzia Decoction) to separate fluids and grains and regulate Yin/Yang ascent/descent. It states: For heat-dominant cases with thirst, use Wuling San; for cold-dominant cases without thirst, use Lizhong Wan. These methods aim to calm the Middle Jiao.
[Xue Ji] In general, during summer heat, if vomiting and diarrhea are accompanied by hot finger tips, thirst, and desire for cold drinks, it belongs to Yang syndromes; use cooling agents. If finger tips are cold, thirst, and desire for hot drinks occur, it belongs to Yin syndromes; use warming and tonifying agents. If Yin syndromes are mistakenly treated with cold/cooling herbs, death results with cyanotic/dark hands and feet, or generalized discoloration.
