治疗痰气壅塞导致的哮喘：取好悉尼汁一杯，生姜汁半杯，蜂蜜半杯，薄荷细末一两，混合均匀，装入容器中，用隔水加热法（重汤煮）炖煮约一小时。此方对于消除体内如奔马般急迫的痰气效果显著。另一方法：将丝瓜烧至存性（即外部焦黑内部保留药性），研成粉末，用枣肉制成丸剂，大小如弹子，用姜汤送服，化气速度极快，并能止咳。
治疗因食用醋或酸性食物引起的喉中哮鸣声：甘草二两，去皮，每段切成两寸长，从中间劈开，取三枚猪胆的胆汁浸泡甘草三日，取出后在火上烤干，研成粉末，用蜜制成绿豆大小的丸剂，每晚临睡前服用二钱，以茶汤送下，疗效神奇。
治疗各种哮鸣疾病，无论是痰饮还是食积引起，尤其是遇到浓味食物即发作的情况，此方尤为有效：萝卜籽蒸熟，晒干后研成粉末，与猪牙皂角烧至存性的粉末等量混合，共同研细，用姜汁调和做成糊状并制成丸剂，大小如绿豆，每次服用二十丸，用姜汤送服。
十六岁以前发生的疳症称为疳，十六岁以后发生的称为痨病。这都是因为婴幼儿先天真元虚弱，过早添加辅食，或者过度食用肥甘厚味，饮食过量，日久积滞而成疳症。也有因乳母寒热失调，或在情绪喜怒、房劳之后哺乳而造成的。还有因消导积滞太过，耗损了胃气；或者大病之后出现呕吐、腹泻、疟疾、痢疾导致饮食减少，致使脾胃失去滋养。这两种情况虽然成因不同，但最终都归结为虚证。其症状表现为头皮光亮紧绷，毛发焦枯稀疏，面颊凹陷鼻干，口唇苍白，两眼昏花溃烂，揉眉擦鼻，脊背耸起身体发黄，咬紧牙齿啃指甲，烦躁口渴自汗，小便色白大便酸臭，腹痛肠鸣，腹中有癖块且伴有潮热，特别嗜好瓜果、咸味、炭状物、水泥等非食物物品，这些都是疳症的征候。初发病时以集圣丸为主治方，若伴有五脏兼证，则根据情况加减用药。久病则用肥儿丸调理，采用补益兼以消导的方法即可。这些内容均记载于《幼幼集成》一书中。
Dried loofah (Luffae Fructus) 4–5 liang, scallion white (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus) 4 liang, and Juncus effusus (Tongcao, 灯草) 3 liang are decocted in water for bathing, and one or two small cups of the liquid are also drunk. For further details, see the section on "Swelling and Fullness" below.
(Detailed information can be found in the "Internal Medicine" section.)
To treat asthma caused by phlegm and qi obstruction: Take one cup of high-quality Sydney juice [Note: Likely a specific local ingredient or typo in original text, retained as is], half a cup of fresh ginger juice (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens Juice), half a cup of honey (Melle), and one liang of fine peppermint powder (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba). Mix evenly, place in a container, and simmer over boiling water (double-boil method) for about one hour. This formula is effective for resolving phlegm-qi that moves rapidly like a galloping horse. Another prescription: Roast loofah (Luffae Fructus) until it retains its medicinal properties (charred externally but retaining internal efficacy), grind into powder, and bind with jujube pulp (Ziziphi Jujubae Mesocarp) to make pills the size of a marble. Take with warm ginger tea (Zingiberis Rhizoma Decoction); this method resolves qi stagnation most swiftly and also stops coughing.
To treat wheezing/roaring sounds caused by vinegar or acidic food intake: Licorice root (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) 2 liang, peeled, cut into two-inch segments, split in half. Soak in the juice of three pig gallbladders (Sus Scrofa Domesticus Vesica Bile) for three days. Remove, dry over fire, grind into powder, and form into pills the size of mung beans using honey. Take two qian before bedtime each night, washed down with tea water; this yields miraculous results.
For all types of wheezing disorders, whether due to phlegm or food retention, especially those triggered by strong-flavored foods, this prescription is particularly effective: Steam radish seeds (Raphani Semen), dry them in the sun, and grind into powder. Mix equally with burnt pig tooth soap pod (Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina) that has been charred to retain efficacy. Grind both together into a fine powder, use ginger juice (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens Juice) to make a paste and form pills the size of mung beans. Take twenty pills per dose, washed down with ginger tea.
Pediatric malnutrition syndrome (Gan Syndrome, 疳症) occurring before age sixteen is called Gan; after age sixteen, it is called Lao (Consumption, 痨病). Both result from weakness of the infant's primordial essence (Zhen Yuan, 真元), early introduction of solid foods, excessive consumption of rich and sweet foods, or overeating, leading to accumulation and transformation into Gan syndrome over time. It may also arise from irregularities in the wet nurse's body temperature (cold/heat imbalance), or nursing after emotional extremes (anger/joy) or sexual exertion. Additionally, excessive use of digestive herbs may damage stomach qi; or following severe illness involving vomiting, diarrhea, malaria, or dysentery, reduced food intake leads to malnourishment of the spleen and stomach. Although the causes differ, both ultimately归结 to deficiency (Xu, 虚). Symptoms include shiny and tight scalp, scorched and sparse hair, sunken cheeks and dry nose, pale lips, dim and ulcerated eyes, rubbing eyebrows and nose, hunched spine, yellowish complexion, teeth grinding, nail biting, irritability, thirst, spontaneous sweating, white urine, sour-smelling loose stools, abdominal pain, borborygmus, abdominal masses (Pi, 癖) with tidal fever, and intense craving for fruits, vegetables, salty items, charcoal, or cement. These are all signs of the condition. In the initial stage, Ji Sheng Wan (Collection of Sage Pills, 集圣丸) is the primary formula; if there are concurrent syndromes of the five zang organs, modifications are made according to circumstances. For chronic cases, Fei Er Wan (Fatten Child Pills, 肥儿丸) is used for regulation, employing tonification combined with resolution of accumulation. These contents are recorded in the book *You You Ji Cheng* (Complete Essentials for Children).
