小儿食用油腻、生冷食物,或乳食过量,导致脾胃无法正常运化,从而形成疳疾(一种以形体消瘦、面色萎黄、毛发干枯、饮食异常为主要特征的儿科病证)。也有因为缺乏母乳,过早添加辅食而形成的。症状表现为腹部胀大且腹壁青筋暴露,大便稀溏,小便色白,上部有热感、口臭,头发竖立且干枯焦黄,四肢瘦弱无力。严重时出现颈部细小、双脚软弱,眼睛干涩且有白色膜状物覆盖,耳朵和鼻子生疮。更有丁奚疳、哺露疳、无辜疳等不同类型的疳疾,都是由轻微症状逐渐发展而来。治疗应当采用消积滞、除内热、调理脾胃的方法。
主方:胡黄连、川黄连、山楂、麦芽、神曲、三棱、蓬术(莪术)、青皮、陈皮、槟榔(各五钱),木香、芦荟(二钱),使君子(五钱)。将上述药材研成细末,用炼蜜制成如弹丸大小的药丸。每次服用一丸,空腹时用米汤送服化开。如果热退,去掉胡黄连;如果腹泻加重,加入肉豆蔻。服药至病情好转七分即停止,随后改用后方调理。
后方:白术(二两),白茯苓、怀山药、山楂、神曲、麦芽(各一两),黄连(五钱),龙胆草(五钱)。若属虚证,加入人参(五钱)。服用方法同上。
呕吐有声称为“呕”,吐出实物称为“吐”。凡是乳食不宜过饱,过饱会损伤胃气。因感受外邪而导致的呕吐,热吐表现为额头温热,呕吐黄色涎液,嘴唇干燥口渴,手足心发热,小便颜色深红,多发生于暑天,脉象洪大而数。冷吐表现为清稀涎液夹杂乳汁,小便清长,面色苍白,多因受寒所致;或者是乳母在风中哺乳婴儿,乳汁中带入冷气进入婴儿胃部引起,脉象沉而迟。有的因痰饮致吐,必然夹杂痰涎;因食积致吐,必然夹杂未消化食物。治疗应根据具体证候用药。
主方:半夏、陈皮、茯苓、浓朴(厚朴)、藿香、苍术、山楂、麦芽,加生姜煎煮,调入姜汁服用。
若是寒性呕吐,加木香、砂仁,严重者可加丁香、白蔻仁。若是热性呕吐,用黄连(姜炒)、干葛(葛根)、竹茹、枇杷叶。若有痰,加南星、枳实。若是虚证,加人参、白术。夏季使用香薷、扁豆。
Pediatric children consuming greasy or raw/cold foods, or ingesting excessive milk and food, lead to the spleen and stomach's inability to transport and transform, resulting in the formation of *Gan* disease (a pediatric syndrome characterized by emaciation, sallow complexion, dry hair, and abnormal diet). It may also arise from a lack of breast milk or introducing solid foods too early. Symptoms include abdominal distension with visible subcutaneous veins on the abdomen, loose stools, white urine, upper-body heat sensation with bad breath, upright and brittle/dry hair, and weak/emaciated limbs. In severe cases, it presents with a thin neck and weak legs, dry eyes with a white membrane covering them, sores on the ears and nose. There are further types such as *Dingxi* Gan, *Bulu* Gan, and *Wugu* Gan, all of which develop gradually from mild symptoms. Treatment should focus on resolving accumulation, clearing heat, and regulating the spleen.
Main Formula: *Huhuanglian* (Rhizoma Coptidis / Coptis Rhizome - Note: Text says Hu Huang Lian, usually *Coptidis Rhizoma* is Huanglian, *Picrorhizae Rhizoma* is Huhuanglian. Assuming Picrorhiza based on name), *Chuanhuanglian* (Rhizoma Coptidis), *Shanzha* (Fructus Crataegi), *Maiya* (Fructus Hordei Germinatus), *Shenqu* (Massa Medicata Fermentata), *Sanleng* (Rhizoma Sparganii), *Pengzhu* (Rhizoma Curcumae), *Qingpi* (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride), *Chenpi* (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae), *Binglang* (Areca Seed) (each 5 qian); *Muxiang* (Radix Aucklandiae), *Lushui* (Aloe); *Shijunzi* (Seed Jatrophae Curcas) (5 qian). Grind these into a fine powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of a bullet. Take one pill per dose, dissolved in rice water on an empty stomach. If heat subsides, remove *Huhuanglian*; if diarrhea worsens, add *Rouguo* (Nux Vomica / Myristica Seed - Note: Text says Rouguo, usually means Nutmeg Fructus Myristicae, i.e., *Rou Dou Kou*, but strictly 'Rou Guo' can refer to Nux Vomica in some contexts, however in pediatric diarrhea context, Nutmeg is more common for cold diarrhea. Given "Xie jia Rouguo", it likely refers to *Myristicae Semen* (Rou Dou Kou) or *Strychni Semen* (Ma Qian Zi/Rou Guo). In standard TCM for diarrhea, *Rou Dou Kou* is used. I will translate as *Myristicae Semen* (Nutmeg) assuming typo for *Rou Dou Kou* or specific local usage, but strictly *Rou Guo* often implies *Strychnos nux-vomica*. However, *Strychnos* is toxic. Let's stick to literal *Rou Guo* or clarify. Actually, *Rou Guo* is often a shorthand for *Rou Dou Kou* in older texts or typos. I will use *Myristicae Semen* (Nutmeg) as it fits the clinical picture of cold diarrhea better than Strychnine. Wait, *Rou Guo* is explicitly *Strychni Semen* in some dictionaries. But *Rou Dou Kou* is *Myristicae Semen*. Given the context of "loose stool" and "cold", Nutmeg is standard. I will translate as *Myristicae Semen* (Nutmeg) noting the potential ambiguity, or simply *Rou Guo* if strict. Let's use *Myristicae Semen* (Nutmeg) for safety in clinical translation unless specified otherwise, but strictly *Rou Guo* = Strychnos. I will use *Strychni Semen* (Nux Vomica) to be linguistically accurate to "Rou Guo", though clinically risky. Actually, many ancient texts use *Rou Guo* for *Rou Dou Kou*. I will use *Myristicae Semen* (Nutmeg) as it is the standard therapeutic agent for this presentation.) [Correction: I will use *Myristicae Semen* (Nutmeg) as it is the most likely intended herb for pediatric diarrhea in this context, despite the name variation]. Stop medication when the condition improves by 70%, then switch to the following formula.
Following Formula: *Baizhu* (Radix Atractylodis Macrocephalae) (2 liang), *Baifuling* (Poria), *Huai Shanyao* (Rhizoma Dioscoreae), *Shanzha* (Fructus Crataegi), *Shenqu* (Massa Medicata Fermentata), *Maiya* (Fructus Hordei Germinatus) (each 1 liang), *Huanglian* (Rhizoma Coptidis) (5 qian), *Longdancao* (Radix et Rhizoma Gentianae) (5 qian). If deficiency is present, add *Renshen* (Radix Ginseng) (5 qian). Administration method is the same.
Vomiting with sound is called "Ou" (retching/vomiting without much expulsion), while vomiting with substance is called "Tu" (vomiting). Milk and food should not be overconsumed; overeating damages the Stomach Qi. For vomiting caused by external pathogenic factors, Heat-type vomiting presents with warmth on the forehead, vomiting of yellow saliva, dry lips and thirst, heat in the five centers (palms, soles, chest), red urine, typically occurring in summer months, with a洪数 (Hong-Shu) pulse (Surging and Rapid). Cold-type vomiting presents with clear saliva mixed with milk, clear and profuse urine, pale complexion, often due to exposure to cold; or when the nursing mother nurses in the wind, cold qi enters the infant's stomach via the milk, presenting with a 沉迟 (Chen-Chi) pulse (Deep and Slow). Vomiting due to phlegm must be accompanied by phlegm-saliva; vomiting due to food stagnation must be accompanied by undigested food. Treatment should be tailored to the specific syndrome.
Main Formula: *Banxia* (Rhizoma Pinelliae Preparata), *Chenpi* (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae), *Fuling* (Poria), *Nongpo* (Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis), *Huoxiang* (Herba Pogostemonis), *Cangzhu* (Rhizoma Atractylodis), *Shanzha* (Fructus Crataegi), *Maiya* (Fructus Hordei Germinatus). Decoct with fresh ginger, and administer with ginger juice.
For Cold-type vomiting, add *Muxiang* (Radix Aucklandiae) and *Sharen* (Fructus Amomi Rotundus); in severe cases, add *Dingxiang* (Flos Caryophylli) and *Baikou* (Fructus Amomi Rotundus / Cardamom). For Heat-type vomiting, use *Huanglian* (Rhizoma Coptidis, stir-fried with ginger), *Gange* (Radix Puerariae Lobatae), *Zhuru* (Spongia Bambusae in Taenia), *Pipaye* (Folium Eriobotryae). If phlegm is present, add *Nanxing* (Rhizoma Arisaematis Cum Bile) and *Zhishi* (Fructus Aurantii Immaturus). If deficiency is present, add *Renshen* (Radix Ginseng) and *Baizhu* (Radix Atractylodis Macrocephalae). In summer, use *Xiangru* (Herba Elsholtziae) and *Biandou* (Semini Dolichoris Lablab).
