龟背乃初生时不能护背，风入脊骨，或令坐太早，亦致伛偻，背高如龟，多成痼疾。宜松蕊丹。

婴儿两侧腮部肿胀坚硬，可触及硬结，有时仅发生在一侧，这种病症称为“痄腮”（流行性腮腺炎）。取一个五倍子，用湿纸包裹后在火中煨烤，烧成灰但保留药性，研磨成粉末，用鸡蛋清调和后外敷患处。或者取一条水蛭、一钱银米，共同捣烂后涂抹患处也可以。
婴儿体质偏阳，容易患热疮。取五个鸡蛋煮熟，去掉蛋白只留蛋黄，再取一团如鸡蛋大小的乱发与之混合均匀，放入铁锅中，置于炭火上煎熬。开始加热时温度很高，过一会儿便开始焦化，此时会有液体渗出，随即收集这些液体放入碗中，直到液体全部提取完毕为止，将所得液体涂抹于疮口上。随后再用苦参研成的粉末外敷。
婴儿头部患上秃疮，可用新鲜的鸽子屎放在新瓦片上焙干，保留药性后研磨成粉末，用麻油调和后涂抹患处，涂三次即可痊愈。如果疮痂堆积隆起，先用淘米水和葱白、川椒煎煮成汤，清洗患处后再涂抹药物，没有不灵的。
龟背是由于出生时未能保护好背部，风寒之邪侵入脊骨，或者让婴儿坐得太早，导致脊柱弯曲变形，背部高耸像乌龟一样，多成为难以治愈的顽疾。适宜使用松蕊丹。

婴儿刚出生时，若外生殖器缩入体内，且啼哭不止，这是因为胎儿在母体中受寒，寒气凝滞导致收缩。可用硫黄、吴茱萸各五钱，研成粉末，用大蒜汁调和后涂抹在脐腹部，同时用蛇床子燃烧产生的烟雾微微熏蒸患处，外生殖器即可恢复原位。
The infant's bilateral cheeks are swollen, hard, and nodular, sometimes occurring on one side only; this condition is termed "Zha Sai" (Mumps). Take one *Galla Chinensis* (Wubeizi), wrap it in wet paper, and roast it over fire until charred but retaining its medicinal properties. Grind into powder, mix with egg white, and apply externally to the affected area. Alternatively, take one leech (*Hirudo*) and one qian of Yini (Silver Rice) [Note: likely a local term or typo for a specific herb/mineral, kept as transliteration], pound them together until paste-like, and apply topically.
Infants have a yang-dominant constitution and are prone to heat sores. Boil five eggs, remove the whites, and retain the yolks. Mix with a clump of tangled hair roughly the size of an egg yolk. Place this mixture in an iron pot and simmer over charcoal fire. Initially, the heat is intense; after a short while, it begins to scorch, producing a liquid. Collect this liquid immediately into a bowl until extraction is complete. Apply this oil/liquid to the sores. Subsequently, dust the area with powdered *Sophora flavescens* (Kushen).
For infants suffering from alopecia barbae/capitis (tinea capitis) on the head, bake fresh pigeon droppings on a new tile until charred but retaining efficacy, then grind into powder. Mix with sesame oil and apply to the lesion. Three applications will result in cure. If crusts accumulate and protrude, first wash the area with a decoction of rice water, green onion white, and *Sichuan pepper*. After washing, apply the medication. This method is invariably effective.
"Gu Bei" (Pigeon Back/Kyphosis) occurs because the back was not protected at birth, allowing wind-cold to invade the spinal column, or due to sitting too early, leading to curvature where the back rises high like a turtle shell. This often becomes a chronic, difficult-to-treat condition. The appropriate formula is Songrui Dan.
Songrui Dan
Ingredients: *Pinus massoniana* pollen (Songhuafen), *Aurantii Fructus Immaturus* (Zhike, stir-baked with bran), *Saposhnikoviae Radix* (Fangfeng), *Angelicae Pubescentis Radix* (Duhuo) — each 1 liang; *Ephedrae Herba* (Mahuang, nodes removed), *Rhei Radix et Rhizoma* (Dahuang), *Peucedani Radix* (Qianhu), *Cinnamomi Cortex* (Guixin) — each 5 qian.
Preparation and Administration: Grind all ingredients into fine powder. Make pills the size of millet seeds using honey. Administer 10 pills per dose with rice gruel.
"Gu Xiong" (Turtle Chest/Pectus Carinatum) results from lung heat causing distension and fullness, attacking the chest and diaphragm. It is often caused by the nursing mother consuming excessive pungent, hot foods, alcohol, or wheat products, or by frequently drinking hot milk during summer months. The appropriate formula is Baihe Dan.
Baihe Dan
Ingredients: *Rhei Radix et Rhizoma* (Dahuang) — 7 qian 5 fen; *Asparagi Radix* (Tian Dong, heart removed); *Prunus armeniaca* seed (Xingren, skin and tip removed); *Lilii Bulbus* (Baihe); *Akebiae Caulis* (Mutong); *Mori Cortex Radicis* (Sangbaipi); *Aurantii Fructus Immaturus* (Zhike, stir-baked with bran); *Descurainiae Semen seu Lepidii Semen* (Tintingli); *Gypsum Fibrosum* (Shigao) — each 5 qian.
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder. Make pills the size of mung beans using honey. Administer 5–7 pills per dose with warm water.
When an infant is born with retracted external genitalia and incessant crying, this is due to cold contraction acquired in the womb; cold causes retraction. Use 5 qian of *Sulfur* (Liuhuang) and 5 qian of *Evodiae Fructus* (Wuzhuyu), grind into powder, and mix with garlic juice to apply to the umbilicus and abdomen. Additionally, burn *Cnidii Fructus* (Shechuangzi) to produce smoke and gently fumigate the area. The genitalia will return to their normal position.
