胎寒，下地后或半日、一日内，通面皆青如靛染，口不吮乳，先有啼声后复不啼而昏迷

胎寒，婴儿出生后半天或一天内，全身面色青得像靛蓝染过一样，嘴巴不吸吮乳汁，先有啼哭声随后停止啼哭并陷入昏迷，这就是胎寒。观察婴儿两眼和鼻准没有黄色，口部也不吹气嘘声，确定是胎寒。先在向导穴、威灵穴对拿紧捏，并将昆仑穴拿紧捏，如果婴儿发出声音就立即用十五元宵节的灯火来断脐；或者声音出不来，也用此灯火处理，那么声音必定会出来，乳汁必定能吸吮，青色必定会逐渐消退。然而此症必须防止发生呕吐。胎寒的脏腑都寒冷，胃最先接受乳汁，胃寒不能容纳，所以必然呕吐。治疗用人参一分，桔梗一钱，白术三分，藿香五分，服用后自愈。也有发病较迟的，胎中有寒而出生后感冒外寒，则延迟两三天之间发作。胎中有寒且出生后再次感受寒气，所以就在半天一天之内发作，面色必青，嘴唇白，大便泻下白色稀便，或者昏睡，或者腹痛，或者口不吸吮乳汁，四肢必冷缩弯曲手握成拳，或者啼哭不止，都是胎寒。治疗时切勿误认为是脐风，应当用辨别脐风的方法来辨别它，治疗适宜用理中汤加附子。拖延久了，可能变为盘肠内吊（肠痉挛），治疗适宜用钩藤膏，此症由怀孕母亲喜好食用生冷食物、坐卧贪图凉快所致。
胎热，全身面色大红。红色虽然是初生婴儿的本色，但恐怕人们不能分辨。因为本色红得清淡，清淡而纯正。热色深红而干燥，干燥而色泽杂乱，如满口热气腾腾，或者舌头肿胀而红紫，口气烫手，或者大便秘结，小便短少赤黄，眼内红赤，这些都是胎热。如果牙龈肿硬不能吸吮乳汁，用银簪子在牙齿上下合骨处刺破出血，那么乳汁自然能吸吮。随即用连翘一钱，伏龙肝二钱，车前一钱，煎服，或者用大连翘饮。此症由怀孕母亲喜欢睡火炕，喜好食用煎炒食物所致。
Fetal Cold: Within half a day or one day after birth, the infant's entire face turns blue-green as if dyed with indigo. The mouth does not suckle milk; there is initial crying followed by cessation of crying and coma. This is Fetal Cold. Observe that the infant's eyes and nasal tip show no yellow coloration, and the mouth does not emit puffing sounds; it is definitely Fetal Cold. Firmly grasp and pinch the Xuandaoint (Xuandaodian) and Weiling point (Weiling) in opposition, and firmly grasp and pinch the Kunlun point (Kunlun, BL60). If the infant makes a sound, immediately apply the "Fifteenth Lantern Fire" to sever the umbilical cord; or if no sound is produced, still apply this fire, then the sound will surely emerge, milk will be sucked, and the blue-green complexion will gradually recede. However, for this condition, one must guard against vomiting. In Fetal Cold, the internal organs are all cold. The stomach receives milk first; due to stomach coldness, it cannot accept it, hence vomiting inevitably occurs. Treatment uses Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 1 fen, Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix) 1 qian, Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) 3 fen, Huo Xiang (Pogostemonis Herba) 5 fen. Self-healing ensues upon administration. There are also cases with delayed onset. If fetal cold exists but external wind-cold invasion is absent, onset may be delayed by two to three days. If fetal cold exists and cold is contracted again after birth, onset occurs within half a day to one day. The face must be blue-green, lips white, stool white and loose, or there may be lethargy, abdominal pain, inability to suckle, cold and curled limbs with clenched fists, or incessant crying. All these indicate Fetal Cold. Treatment must not mistake this for Umbilical Wind (Neonatal Tetanus). One should differentiate it using the methods for Umbilical Wind. Treatment is suitable with Lizhong Tang (Replenish the Middle Decoction) plus Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata). If prolonged, it may transform into Pan Chang Nei Diao (intestinal colic/spasm), treated suitably with Gouteng Gao (Uncaria Paste). This condition results from the pregnant mother's preference for raw and cold foods and her habit of sitting or lying in cool places.
Fetal Heat: The entire face is deep red. Although redness is the natural color of newborns, people may find it difficult to distinguish. The natural color is pale red, light and pure. The heat color is deep red and dry, dry and mottled. For example, there may be a sensation of surging heat in the mouth, or the tongue swells and becomes red-purple, breath feels hot to the touch, constipation, scanty and dark urine, and redness inside the eyes. These all indicate Fetal Heat. If the gums are swollen and hard, preventing suckling, pierce the area between the upper and lower teeth at the bone junction with a silver hairpin to induce bleeding, then suckling will naturally resume. Subsequently, use Lian Qiao (Forsythiae Fructus) 1 qian, Fu Long Gan (Usti Carbonis) 2 qian, Che Qian Cao (Plantaginis Herba) 1 qian, decocted and taken orally, or use Da Lian Qiao Yin (Large Forsythia Decoction). This condition results from the pregnant mother's preference for sleeping on heated kang beds and her liking for fried and roasted foods.
