杨氏云∶由乳食不调，心脏受热所致也，盖其血气未定，乳哺有伤，易生壅滞，
内有滞热，未得疏通，故心神惊郁，而作惊疳之候。外证身体壮热，脸赤唇红，口
舌生疮，胸膈烦闷，小便赤涩，五心皆热，盗汗发渴，啮齿虚惊是也。钱氏，安神

杨氏说：这是由于乳食不调，心脏受热所致。因为小儿气血尚未定型，哺乳喂养不当容易损伤身体，产生壅滞，体内有停滞的热邪，未能疏通，所以心神受惊郁结，从而出现惊疳的症状。外在表现为身体壮热，面色红赤，嘴唇发红，口舌生疮，胸膈烦闷，小便短赤涩痛，五心（两手心、两足心及心口）发热，盗汗且口渴，磨牙和虚性惊悸。钱乙主张用安神丸治疗。薛己主张用安神丸来清心安神，用异功散来补益脾胃。杨氏主张用茯苓丸或钱乙的安神丸治疗。曾世荣主张用茯神汤来宁心安神。

Yang Shi stated: This condition arises from irregular breastfeeding and diet, leading to heat in the Heart. Since a child's Qi and Blood are not yet stable, improper nursing can cause injury, easily resulting in stagnation. Internal stagnant heat fails to be unblocked, causing the Heart Spirit (Shen) to be startled and depressed, thus presenting as Jing Gan (Startled Malnutrition). External manifestations include high fever, flushed face, red lips, sores in the mouth and tongue, chest and diaphragm oppression, dark and scanty urination, heat in the five centers (both palms, both soles, and the heart region), night sweats with thirst, teeth grinding, and false startles.
