书名：急救良方 章节：小儿第三十九 类别：方剂
治疗新生儿口腔中有恶浊之物，刚出生时，不等待哭声发出，立即用软布或棉团包裹手指，蘸取黄连、甘草汁，擦拭口中的恶浊液体。待稍稳定后，再用少量蜂蜜，调和朱砂一字（约0.5-1克），涂抹入口中。此法可镇心安神，解除恶浊之物的毒性，使孩子一生免除疮痘的祸患。此药，孕妇在临产前应当预先准备。
治疗新生儿出生后即刻死亡，急忙查看婴儿口中悬雍垂上有水泡，用手指挑破，用布包裹手指擦拭干净血液。如果血液进入喉咙，就不可救治了。
治疗新生儿初生，气息微弱欲绝，不能啼哭的，一定是难产或胃寒所致。急忙用棉絮包裹抱在怀中，不要剪断脐带，先将胎盘放在炭火炉中烧掉，同时制作大纸捻蘸油点火，在脐带上往来燎烤，再用热醋汤烫洗脐带。片刻之后，气息恢复，像往常一样啼哭，才可以洗浴并处理断脐带。
治疗新生儿初生，大小便不通，腹胀欲绝的，急忙让妇人用温水漱口，吸吮婴儿前后项部、心口以及脐下、手足共七处，每一处吸吮三五次后漱口，吸吮以皮肤变红赤为度，片刻之后自然通畅。如果不这样做就没有生机，如果有这种证候，遇到这种方法，可以说是第二次生命。

[Background Information]
Book: Jijiu Liangfang (Effective Formulas for Emergency Rescue) Chapter: Pediatrics, Part 39 Category: Formulas
Treating newborns with foul matter in the mouth at birth: Immediately after birth, before crying occurs, wrap a finger with soft cloth or cotton, dip it into juice of Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) and Gancao (Licorice Root), and wipe the foul fluid from the infant's mouth. Once stabilized, mix a small amount of honey with Zhusha (Cinnabar, approx. 0.5-1g) and apply to the mouth. This method calms the heart and spirit, detoxifies foul matter, and prevents skin sores and smallpox throughout life. Pregnant women should prepare this medicine before delivery.
Treating stillborn infants: Quickly check for blisters on the uvula in the infant's mouth. Puncture them with a finger, then use cloth-wrapped fingers to wipe away blood. If blood enters the throat, survival is impossible.
Treating newborns with weak breath unable to cry: This is likely due to difficult labor or cold in the stomach. Wrap the infant in cotton and hold close. Do not cut the umbilical cord yet. Burn the placenta in a charcoal stove. Create a large paper torch dipped in oil and ignite it; pass the flame back and forth over the umbilical cord. Then wash the cord with hot vinegar water. After a moment, when breathing returns and the infant cries normally, bathing and cutting the cord may proceed.
Treating newborns with inability to urinate or defecate and severe abdominal distension: Have a woman rinse her mouth with warm water and suckle seven points on the infant: front and back neck, chest center, below the navel, hands, and feet. Suckle each point 3-5 times, rinsing mouth between sites. Stop when the skin turns red. Passage will occur shortly. Without this, death is certain; with this method, it is a second chance at life.
Treating newborns with exposed red flesh (missing skin): Rapidly dust with early rice flour until new skin forms.
Treating newborn umbilical swelling: Wash with Jingjie (Schizonepetae Herba) water. Roast a scallion leaf over fire, remove heat by placing on ground, scrape thin with fingernails, and apply to the swollen area. Swelling subsides by the next day.
Treating newborns with yellow-red face, rapid breathing, inability to cry, stiff tongue, blue lips, mouth puckering, and difficulty nursing: Use two Baijiangcan (Bombyx Batryticatus), remove heads, lightly stir-fry, and powder. Mix with honey and apply to the lips.
Treating newborns refusing milk and unable to urinate/defecate: Cut two cun of Congbai (Scallion Stalk) into four sections. Decoct in milk in a clay pot and administer. Immediate effect.
Treating newborn vomiting of milk: Powder earthworm mud from fields, mix with rice water, and ingest.
Treating newborn trismus (locked jaw): Use one Chi Zu Wugong (Scolopendra Subspinipes), remove legs, roast until charred, and powder. Take half qian, mix with half zhan of pig milk, and divide into 3-4 doses for administration.
Treating unpredictable vomiting in newborns: Use two Wu Beizi (Galla Chinensis), one raw and one cooked. Add one root of Gancao (Licorice Root). Wrap in wet paper and bake. Powder together. Take half qian mixed with rice juice.
Treating acute double tongue (re-she) in newborns: Remove fingernails. Rub the vein under the tongue towards the root, gradually deeper, three times. Dip finger in water, locate the vein in the small hollow behind the neck (swallow's nest), rub from top down into the hollow, three times. If nursing improves, the disease resolves.
Another prescription: Prick to release foul blood; immediate cure.
Another prescription: Treat wooden tongue in newborns. Powder Huang Shu Kui Hua (Abelmoschus manihot flower), mix with half amount of Huang Dan (Lead Monoxide), and apply seven times.
Treating oral thrush preventing nursing: Grind Di Ji (flatworm found in bricks) with water and apply.
Treating newborn mouth ulcers: Powder Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus), mix with vinegar, apply to both soles. Cured overnight.
Another prescription: Powder raw Bai Fan (Alumen), mix with water, spread on paper, apply to soles, keep moist with water.
Treating newborn gingival gangrene: Place Bai Fan (Alumen) inside Wu Beizi (Galla Chinensis), burn together, powder, and apply.
Treating various heat-induced convulsions/seizures in newborns: Grind Qing Dai (Indigo Naturalis) in water and administer.
Another prescription: Boil large honeycombs in water, bathe infant 3-4 times.
Treating sudden fright in newborns with unknown pain source: Drip rooster blood into infant's mouth.
Another prescription: Decoct swallow nest feces in water for bathing.
Another prescription: Treat newborn fright-crying. Powder burnt hair, mix with wine, and ingest.
Treating night crying in newborns: Burn Deng Cao (Junci Medulla) to ash, apply to nipple for infant to suck; consuming "lamp wick flowers" (ash) is excellent.
Treating geophagia (eating yellow earth) in newborns: Powder dry yellow earth, decoct Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) thickly, form into pills, and administer.
