一位寡妇因长期抑郁而患病，月经停止，身体发热如火烤，突然吐血如泉涌。有人使用止血药无效，我用茅花根捣取汁液，浓磨沉香粉服用，大约五钱许。每天将浓醋装入瓶中，在火上加热，用热气熏蒸两个鼻孔，血才得以降下，吐血不再发作，月经也随之通畅。
刚出生的婴儿，如果哺乳喂养得当，“乳”指奶水，“哺”指辅食。喂奶后不能立即喂食，喂饭后不能立即喂奶。因为小儿脾胃虚弱，奶和食同时进入难以消化。年幼时会导致呕吐，周岁以后则形成“乳癖”，结聚在腹中引起疼痛。所以大的称为“癖”，小的称为“积”，疳气便从此开始。（出自《隐微方》）
婴儿每天应多次到无风的地方，查看舌头及两颊内侧是否有白色的薄膜状物（鹅口疮）。若有，迅速用指甲刮破；若再生出，再去刮除。还要查看舌下，防止长出“重舌”。这些症状都是由胎儿在母体内时，母亲食用了油炸、爆炒、肥腻食物，饮酒或服用热性药物所致。（出自《产乳庆育集》）
小儿刚出生时不哭也不吃奶，大概是因为剪断脐带时，风邪从脐部侵入，沿咽喉向上攻至下颌牙龈中间，出现像黄米粒大小的小水泡，疼痛难忍，所以不哭不吃奶。只需以指甲刺破它，流出一点黄脓即可痊愈。后来我用这个方法教给别人，救活了几个孩子。（出自《席上辅谈》）
宣德年间，院使钱瑛一天诊治宁阳侯的孙子，出生九个月，患惊悸症，多次啼哭且出汗，用尽各种方法都无效。钱瑛最后诊视病情，于是命令让小孩坐在地上，让他捧水玩耍。小孩的惊啼立刻停止。别人问他原因，他说：“当时正值春季，孩子穿着厚衣、围着重帷，不离怀抱，体内的热气郁结无法发泄。让他接近水，则火邪得以抑制；接触土气（地面），则脏气平和。”所以不用药就好了。
周必大在《二老堂杂志》中说，开元通宝钱最能治疗小儿急惊风，用水磨成粉服少许，效果神奇。我推测小儿心受热而发惊，肝生风而发搐，这符合“木邪侮土，用金制木”的道理，似乎也有道理。
最近有个幼童玩耍时将线锤放入口中误吞。有一位胡僧给他吃了半斤饴糖，线锤随即随粪便从肛门排出。僧人说：“凡是误吞五金（金属器物）的，都可以吃这个。”（出自《近峰闻略》）
A widow fell ill due to long-term depression, with amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), body heat feeling like roasting, and sudden profuse hematemesis (vomiting blood) like a gushing spring. Hemostatic drugs were ineffective. I used juice extracted from crushed *Imperatae Rhizoma* (Mao Hua Gen) mixed with finely ground *Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum* (Chen Xiang), administered orally at approximately 5 qian. Daily, strong vinegar was stored in a bottle and heated over fire; the steam was inhaled through both nostrils. Only then did the bleeding subside, hematemesis ceased, and menstruation resumed.
For newborn infants, if breastfeeding and feeding are conducted properly: "Ru" refers to breast milk, and "Bu" refers to solid food. One should not give solid food immediately after breastfeeding, nor breastfeed immediately after giving solid food. Because infants have weak spleen and stomach functions, simultaneous intake of milk and food is difficult to digest. In early infancy, this leads to vomiting; after one year of age, it forms "Ru Pi" (milk accumulation), which knots in the abdomen causing pain. Thus, large accumulations are called "Pi," small ones "Ji," and "Gan Qi" (infantile malnutrition syndrome) begins here. (From *Yin Wei Fang*)
Infants should be checked frequently in windless areas for white membranous patches on the tongue and inner cheeks (oral thrush). If present, quickly scrape them off with fingernails; if they regrow, scrape again. Also check under the tongue to prevent the formation of "Chong She" (double tongue/anterior lingual frenulum inflammation). These conditions result from the mother consuming fried, roasted, fatty foods, alcohol, or hot-natured herbs during pregnancy. (From *Chan Ru Qing Yu Ji*)
When a child is first born and does not cry or suckle, it is likely because wind pathogen entered through the umbilical stump during cord cutting, traveling up along the throat to the lower gums, where small blisters resembling yellow millet grains appear. The pain is unbearable, hence the lack of crying or sucking. Simply puncture the blister with a fingernail to release a drop of yellow pus, and the condition resolves. I later taught this method to others, saving several children. (From *Xi Shang Fu Tan*)
During the Xuande reign, Physician-in-waiting Qian Ying treated the nine-month-old grandson of the Marquis of Ningyang, who suffered from fright palpitations, frequent crying, and sweating, with no effect from various treatments. Upon final examination, Qian Ying ordered the child to sit on the ground and play with scooped water. The fright and crying stopped immediately. When asked, he explained: "It was late spring; the child was wrapped in thick clothes and heavy curtains, kept close to the body, causing internal heat stagnation without venting. Proximity to water suppressed the fire pathogen, and contact with earth balanced the zang organ qi." Thus, the child recovered without medication.
Zhou Bida stated in *Er Lao Tang Za Zhi* that Kaiyuan Tongbao coins are most effective for treating infant acute fright convulsions when ground in water and taken in small amounts, showing miraculous effects. I surmise that infant heart-heat causes fright, while liver-wind causes convulsions. This aligns with the principle of using Metal to control Wood (Liver) when Wood pathogen insults Earth (Spleen/Stomach), which seems reasonable.
Recently, a young child accidentally swallowed a lead weight while playing. A Hu monk fed him half a jin of maltose syrup, and the weight passed out through the anus with feces. The monk said, "For any accidental ingestion of five metals, this can be consumed." (From *Jin Feng Wen Lue*)
