新生儿出生时，其身体状况如同被热水浇烫或火灼伤一般，这都是因为母亲在孕期过量食用肥甘厚味所致。此时母亲应服用清胃散、逍遥散，以清解气血中的热毒；婴儿也可偶尔饮用几滴。若婴儿身上无皮肤且发红发热，皆是由产母胃中火热亢盛引起。可用熟石膏末，加入珍珠粉外扑患处。也有因父亲遗留的毒邪所致的，应当从霉疮（梅毒）毒的角度进行治疗。夏季让婴儿睡在芭蕉叶上尤为适宜。若婴儿身上无皮肤但不发红，皆是由产母脾肺两虚所致。可用人参、[白]术末，加入珍珠粉外扑。脾主肌肉，肺主皮毛，因此可知病位在脾肺。母子双方均服用保元汤。如果额头部位生疮，这是火与土（湿热）相合，湿热之邪侵袭髓海所致，难以治愈。如果脚部生疮，这是阴虚火旺所致，患儿不满五岁便会死亡。如果婴儿未满月就出现撮口、握拳、腰脊软弱无力等症状，这是肝肾中邪气盛而正气弱的表现。如果在出生后三天内出现这些症状，必定无法救治。如果是男婴手指向里扣，女婴手指向外翘，尚可治疗，主方用钩藤散。
新生儿患噤风症，是因为胎中受热，毒邪流注于心脾，出生后又被风邪侵袭，导致眼睛闭合、口部紧闭、啼哭无声、舌面如粟米状颗粒、口吐白沫。如果在出生后七日内发病，一百个中也救不活一个。所谓撮口症，是因为胎热兼夹风邪，自脐部侵入心脾，导致面目黄赤、气息喘急、声音不出、舌体僵硬、嘴唇青紫、口唇撮紧、腹部胀满。此时急于在囟门处施灸七壮。如果灸后仍不哭泣，甚至出现吊肠（抽搐）、口吐白沫的症状，则无法救治。所谓脐风症，是因为断脐之后，水湿风邪侵入心脾，导致腹部胀满、脐部肿胀、四肢厥冷且伸直、啼哭但不吸吮乳汁，严重时出现撮口和抽搐。在七日内患此病的最为危险。宜用麝香、蝎尾、铜绿、轻粉、辰砂研为散剂，用姜汤调服。如果脐部周围发青发黑，握拳且口部紧闭，这属于内搐，无法救治。如果齿龈上有如粟米大小的水泡，挑破后即可缓解，不必用药。
Upon birth, the infant's body may appear as if scalded by hot water or burned by fire; this is caused by the mother's excessive consumption of rich and greasy foods during pregnancy. The mother should take Qingwei San (Clear Stomach Powder) and Xiaoyao San (Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) to clear heat from the Qi and Blood; the infant may also occasionally drink a few drops. If the infant has no skin and presents with redness and fever, it is due to excessive stomach fire in the mother. Prepared gypsum powder mixed with pearl powder can be applied externally. Some cases are caused by residual toxins from the father and should be treated according to the principles for Meichuang (Syphilis) toxin. It is particularly beneficial for the infant to lie on banana leaves during summer months. If the infant has no skin but is not red, it is due to deficiency of the Spleen and Lung in the mother. Powder of Ren Shen (Ginseng Root) and Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome), mixed with pearl powder, can be applied externally. The Spleen governs muscles, and the Lung governs skin and hair; thus, the disease location is identified as the Spleen and Lung. Both mother and infant should take Baoyuan Tang (Preserve the Origin Decoction). If sores appear on the forehead, it indicates that Fire and Earth (Damp-Heat) have combined, attacking the Marrow Sea (brain); this is difficult to treat. If sores appear on the feet, it indicates Yin deficiency with hyperactive Fire; the child will die before reaching five years of age. If the infant, within one month of birth, exhibits mouth puckering, clenched fists, and weak spine, it signifies that pathogenic factors are strong while healthy Qi is weak in the Liver and Kidney. If these symptoms appear within three days, the condition is incurable. If the male infant's fingers curl inward, or the female infant's fingers point outward, the condition is still treatable; Gouteng San (Uncaria Powder) is the primary formula.
Infants suffering from Jin Feng (Lockjaw) contract heat in the womb, causing toxins to flow into the Heart and Spleen; after birth, they are further attacked by Wind pathogens, resulting in closed eyes, locked jaw, inability to cry, tongue surface resembling millet grains, and foaming at the mouth. If onset occurs within seven days, mortality is nearly 100%. The condition known as Cuo Kou (Mouth Puckering) arises from fetal heat combined with Wind entering through the umbilicus into the Heart and Spleen, leading to yellowish-red complexion, rapid breathing, hoarseness or silence, stiff tongue, cyanotic lips, mouth puckering, and abdominal distension. Urgent moxibustion of seven moxa cones should be applied to the fontanelle. If the infant does not cry after moxibustion and develops convulsions ("hanging intestines") with foaming at the mouth, the condition is incurable. The condition known as Qi Feng (Umbilical Wind) occurs when Water-Dampness and Wind pathogens enter the Heart and Spleen after umbilical cord separation, causing abdominal distension, umbilical swelling, cold and extended limbs, crying without sucking milk, and potentially progressing to mouth puckering and convulsions. Onset within seven days is most critical. A powder made from She Xiang (Musk), Xi Wei (Scorpion Tail), Tong Lv (Verdigris), Qing Fen (Calomel), and Chen Sha (Cinnabar) should be administered with ginger decoction. If the area around the umbilicus turns blue-black, accompanied by clenched fists and locked jaw, it is classified as internal convulsion and is incurable. If vesicles resembling millet grains appear on the gums, pricking them open provides relief, and medication is unnecessary.
