验方(朱丹溪):香薷治疗口臭效果神奇,煎煮成浓汤后含漱。
又一方(内府):将连翘研为粉末,用糊剂制成丸药。如果在食用韭菜、大蒜之后服用,用茶水吞服二三钱,口中的浊气即刻转化为清气,疗效神妙。
口臭且伴有牙齿肿痛:取北细辛一两,煎煮成浓汁,趁热含漱,冷却后即吐出丢弃。
又一方:用川芎泡制汤剂,每日漱口五至七次,半个月可痊愈。
口气热臭:取干甜瓜子,去壳后研成细粉,加少许蜂蜜,调制成如枣核大小的丸药,饭后含化,敷在牙齿上。
《医宗心法》说:脾胃积热,会导致口角生疮。
民间俗语说:小儿误用剪刀剪食饮食瓜果,吃下后就会生出“剪口疮”。
胡公弼说:小儿口角生疮,名叫“夹口疮”,也叫“燕口疮”。
顾澄说:“剪口疮”又名“夹口疮”,脾热者多患此病。也有因父母遗留毒邪,导致小儿口角色白生疮,久治不愈的,应当用真蟾酥磨成汁,调和白降丹,涂抹患处即可自愈。否则必定引发疮毒,又当加以区分,不能只按脾热来治疗。
口角烂疮:取乱头发洗净,存性(煅烧保留药性),研细,用猪油调和涂抹。
又一方:收集蒸笼上或锅盖上的冷凝水气(气汗水),涂抹患处。
小儿燕口疮:将青布烧成灰涂抹,或者用蜂蜜调和也可以。

陈实功说:鹅口疮,是心脾二经胎热上攻所致。其症状表现为满口都生出像白雪片一样的白斑,严重时咽喉间层层肿起,导致难以哺乳,喂奶时必然啼哭叫唤。急用一条青纱裹在筷子头上,蘸取新汲取的井水擦拭去除白苔,以擦净为度,用力重些出血也无妨,随后用冰硼散涂抹。(出自《外科正宗》)
冯鲁瞻说:鹅口,是由于胎热蕴蓄在心脾,向上熏蒸于口,舌上遍生白屑,形状像鹅的嘴巴。(出自《锦囊秘录》)
汤氏说:初生婴儿,口内白屑布满舌面,不能吮吸乳汁,称为鹅口。急忙用乱发缠在手指头上,蘸薄荷汁或井华水擦拭干净。如果白屑不脱落,用四宝丹掺撒患处。
如果在初生百日内,口中生出无数白点,擦拭则去掉,片刻后又长出,口角流涎,日夜啼哭不吃奶,又名鹅口白屑。这都是由于胎热或母亲贪嗜酒面,将余热遗留给胎儿所致,可用甘草、黄连各一钱煎煮浓汁,用帛包裹手指,在口中擦拭,不再复发。(出自《赤水玄珠》)
奎光说:鹅口又名雪口,必须先搅去白衣,使用口疳药(方子记载在咽喉门)吹入患处。频繁搅动并频繁吹药,内服犀角汁或犀角解毒丸。
骆潜庵说:小儿胎火攻心,上部有白点,状如粟米,名叫乳鹅;或者口内白沫满口,上部戴碍(指口腔上部肿胀阻碍),形状像鹅口,张开而不能闭合,发不出声音,进食困难。这都是由热毒上攻引起,宜用延寿丹。(出自《推拿秘书》)
Prescription (Zhu Danxi): Moslae Herba (Xiangru) is miraculous for treating halitosis; decoct into a concentrated solution and gargle.
Another prescription (Imperial Household Bureau): Make Fructus Forsythiae (Lianqiao) into powder, bind with paste to form pills. If taken after consuming garlic or leeks, swallow two or three qian with tea; the turbid qi in the mouth will immediately transform into clear qi, with divine efficacy.
Halitosis accompanied by tooth swelling and pain: Decoct one liang of Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Beixixin) into a concentrated liquid, gargle while hot, and spit out when cooled.
Another prescription: Infuse Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome (Chuanxiong) in water to make a soup, rinse the mouth five to seven times daily; it will heal within half a month.
Hot and foul breath: Remove the shells from dried seeds of Benincasa hispida (Tian Guazi), grind finely, mix with a little honey, and form pills the size of a jujube pit. Hold in the mouth to dissolve after meals, applying to the teeth.
*Yizong Xinfa* states: Accumulated heat in the Spleen and Stomach causes sores at the corners of the mouth.
Folklore says: If infants mistakenly eat fruits or vegetables cut with scissors, they will develop "scissor sores."
Hu Gongbi states: Sores at the corners of an infant's mouth are named "Jia Kou Chuang" (Clamped Mouth Sore) or also "Yan Kou Chuang" (Swallow's Mouth Sore).
Gu Cheng states: "Scissor sore" is also known as "Jia Kou Chuang," commonly suffered by those with Spleen Heat. There are also cases caused by toxic residue inherited from parents, where the infant's mouth corners turn white and develop sores that do not heal for a long time. In such cases, apply real Toad Venom (Chansu) ground into juice mixed with Baijiangdan (White Reduction Pill) to the affected area for self-healing. Otherwise, it must develop into carbuncles and boils, requiring differentiation; it should not be treated solely as Spleen Heat.
Sore at the corner of the mouth: Wash tangled hair thoroughly, calcine to retain its properties (cun xing), grind finely, and mix with lard for topical application.
Another prescription: Collect condensation (steam sweat) from steamers or pot lids and apply.
Infant Yan Kou Chuang: Burn green cloth to ash and apply, or mix with honey.
Yan Kou Chuang: Burn hair to ash retaining its properties, mix with rice drink for internal administration and external application.
Chen Shigong states: E Kou Chuang (Goose Mouth Sore) is caused by fetal heat attacking upward from the Heart and Spleen meridians. The symptoms present as snow-white flakes covering the entire mouth; severely, the throat swells in layers, making suckling difficult, resulting in crying during feeding. Urgently wrap a piece of green gauze around the head of a chopstick, dip it in fresh well water, and wipe away the white coating until clean. It is acceptable if slight bleeding occurs due to firm pressure. Subsequently, apply Bingpeng San (Ice Borax Powder). (*Waike Zhengzong*)
Feng Luzhan states: E Kou refers to fetal heat accumulating in the Heart and Spleen, steaming upward to the mouth, causing white debris to cover the tongue like a goose's beak. (*Jinnang Milu*)
Shi Shi states: In newborns, white debris fills the tongue, preventing suckling, termed E Kou. Urgently wrap tangled hair around the finger, dip in mint juice or well water, and wipe clean. If the debris does not detach, sprinkle Sibao Dan (Four Treasures Pill) on the lesion.
If within the first hundred days of life, countless white spots appear in the mouth, disappearing upon wiping but returning shortly after, accompanied by drooling at the mouth corners, day-and-night crying, and refusal to nurse, it is also named E Kou Baixie (Goose Mouth White Debris). This is all due to fetal heat or maternal indulgence in alcohol and wheat products, transmitting residual heat to the child. Use one qian each of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao) and Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian) decocted into a strong solution. Wrap a finger with silk cloth, wipe the mouth, and it will not recur. (*Chishui Xuanzhu*)
Kui Guang states: E Kou is also called Xue Kou (Snow Mouth). First, stir to remove the white membrane, then use kou gan medicine (prescription recorded in the Throat Gate section) to insufflate. Frequently stir and insufflate, and internally administer Rhinocerotis Cornu Juice (Xijiao Zhi) or Xijiao Jiedu Wan (Rhinoceros Horn Detoxification Pill).
Luo Qian'an states: Infantile fetal fire attacks the Heart, causing white spots on the upper part resembling millet grains, named Ru E (Milk Goose); or white foam fills the mouth, obstructing the upper palate, shaped like a goose's mouth, unable to close, voiceless, and suffering difficulty in eating. All are caused by heat-toxin attacking upward; Yanshou Dan (Longevity Pill) is suitable. (*Tuina Mishu*)
