婴儿舌根肉雍肿叠出，短少如舌，名曰重舌。宜用苦竹沥浸黄柏末点舌上，即消。如不效，蒲黄末掺之。
婴儿舌尖肿大塞满口中，或僵硬如木，不能转掉，名曰木舌。宜用薄荷叶、细茶叶共煎，露一宿，青绢裹
箸上蘸药抹上。或用蓖麻子去壳取肉，捣烂，以纸捻，蘸蓖麻油点火。吹灭以烟熏之，即消。若舌下有如蝼蛄，
或如卧蚕者，急于肿突处砭去其血，乃用釜底墨，以盐、醋调敷，或井华水调亦可，或单用蒲黄研末刷上，其
肿自退。
婴儿舌出，掉动如蛇，名曰∶弄舌。盖舌乃心苗，心宁则舌静，心扰则舌乱，心脾蕴热，故弄舌也。轻者
灯心煎汤服，重者黄连煎汤频频与服。
婴儿夜啼不止，有寒、热、惊、滞四因。寒则脾气虚寒、阴盛于夜，故腹中作痛，面青手冷，曲腰而啼，
不思乳食，宜钩藤饮。热则心火烦躁，脸红便赤，口热腹暖，仰身而啼，见灯火则愈，甚也，宜生脉散（见方
后惊啼条中）。滞则过用乳食，停滞作痛，邪实无虚而腹拒按者，宜消食丸。若泄泻不乳而啼者，脾胃虚弱也，
宜六神散。若吐泻交作不乳而啼者，脾胃虚寒也，宜五君子煎。若大便不化，食少腹胀而啼者，脾气虚弱也，
宜五味异功散。

婴儿舌根部的肌肉肿胀隆起，层层叠出，形状短小类似舌头，这种病症称为重舌。适宜用苦竹沥浸泡黄柏末，点涂在舌上，肿胀即可消退。如果无效，可掺入蒲黄末。
婴儿舌尖肿大，塞满口腔，或者僵硬如木头般不能转动，这种病症称为木舌。适宜用薄荷叶和细茶叶共同煎煮，露天放置一夜，用青绢包裹在筷子上蘸取药液涂抹患处。或者使用蓖麻子去壳取肉，捣烂，用纸捻蘸取蓖麻油点燃，吹灭后用烟熏患处，肿胀即可消退。如果舌下出现像蝼蛄一样的肿块，或者像卧蚕一样的突起，应立即在肿突处用砭石刺破放血，然后用釜底墨（锅底灰），用盐、醋调和敷贴，或者用井华水（清晨第一次汲取的井水）调和也可以，或者单用蒲黄研成末刷涂患处，肿胀自然消退。
婴儿舌头伸出，摆动如同蛇一般，这种病症称为弄舌。因为舌是心的苗窍，心气宁静则舌头安静，心神受扰则舌头乱动，心脾蕴积热邪，所以导致弄舌。病情轻者，用灯心草煎汤服用；病情重者，用黄连煎汤频频喂服。
婴儿夜间啼哭不止，有寒、热、惊、滞四种原因。寒证则是脾气虚寒，阴气盛于夜晚，所以腹中疼痛，面色发青，手脚冰冷，弯腰啼哭，不想吃奶，适宜用钩藤饮。热证则是心火烦躁，脸红小便赤黄，口热腹部温暖，仰身啼哭，见到灯火则减轻，严重时，适宜用生脉散（见方后惊啼条中）。滞证则是过度喂养乳食，停滞导致疼痛，邪气实而无虚象，腹部拒按的，适宜用消食丸。如果是泄泻不吃奶而啼哭的，是脾胃虚弱，适宜用六神散。如果是吐泻交替发作不吃奶而啼哭的，是脾胃虚寒，适宜用五君子煎。如果是大便不消化，吃得少腹胀而啼哭的，是脾气虚弱，适宜用五味异功散。

The flesh at the root of the infant's tongue swells and protrudes in layers, appearing short and resembling a tongue; this condition is named Chong She (Double Tongue). It is appropriate to soak Huangbai End (Phellodendron Bark Powder) in Kuzhuli (Bamboo Sap from Bitter Bamboo) and apply it to the tongue, which will resolve the swelling. If ineffective, Puhuang End (Polygonatum Pollen Powder) may be sprinkled on it.
The tip of the infant's tongue swells and fills the mouth, or becomes stiff like wood and unable to move; this condition is named Mu She (Wood Tongue). It is appropriate to decoct Bohe Ye (Mint Leaf) and Xi Cha Ye (Fine Tea Leaf) together, leave them exposed overnight, wrap the mixture in a blue silk cloth around a chopstick, and use it to dab the medicine onto the affected area. Alternatively, remove the shell from Bimazi (Castor Seed), take the flesh, pound it into a paste, dip a paper twist into the oil extracted from castor seeds, ignite it, extinguish the flame, and smoke the affected area with the smoke until the swelling subsides. If there are protrusions under the tongue resembling Lougu (Ants) or Wo Can (Cocoon-like swellings), urgently pierce the swollen protrusion with a Bian Stone (Lithotherapeutic Tool) to release blood, then apply Fudi Mo (Soot from Cauldron Bottom) mixed with salt and vinegar, or mixed with Jinghua Shui (Well Water drawn at dawn), or simply brush on Puhuang End (Polygonatum Pollen Powder); the swelling will naturally recede.
The infant extends the tongue, moving it back and forth like a snake; this condition is named Nong She (Playing Tongue). The tongue is the sprout of the Heart; when the Heart is tranquil, the tongue is still; when the Heart is disturbed, the tongue moves chaotically. Heat accumulated in the Heart and Spleen causes Playing Tongue. For mild cases, Dengxin Cao (Juncus Effusus Decoction) should be taken as a soup; for severe cases, Huanglian Tang (Coptis Decoction) should be given frequently.
Infantile night crying that does not cease has four causes: Cold, Heat, Fright, and Stagnation. In Cold patterns, the Spleen Qi is deficient and cold, with Yin flourishing at night, causing abdominal pain, cyanotic complexion, cold hands and feet, crying while bending the waist, and loss of appetite for milk; Gouteng Yin (Uncaria Decoction) is appropriate. In Heat patterns, Heart Fire causes irritability, red face, reddish urine, hot mouth, and warm abdomen, with crying while lying on the back, improving upon seeing lamp light; for severe cases, Shengmai San (Generate the Pulse Powder) is appropriate (see the section on Frightful Crying after the formulas). In Stagnation patterns, excessive feeding leads to food stagnation and pain; if there is excess pathogenic factor without deficiency and the abdomen rejects pressure, Xiaoshi Wan (Digestive Pill) is appropriate. If crying occurs due to diarrhea and refusal to nurse, it indicates Spleen-Stomach Deficiency; Liushen San (Six Deities Powder) is appropriate. If vomiting and diarrhea alternate with refusal to nurse, it indicates Spleen-Stomach Deficient Cold; Wu Junzi Jian (Five Gentlemen Decoction) is appropriate. If undigested stool, poor intake, abdominal distension, and crying occur, it indicates Spleen Qi Deficiency; Wuyi Yigong San (Five Ingredients Extraordinary Merit Powder) is appropriate.
