内有滞热，未得疏通，故心神惊郁，而作惊疳之候。外证身体壮热，脸赤唇红，口
舌生疮，胸膈烦闷，小便赤涩，五心皆热，盗汗发渴，啮齿虚惊是也。钱氏，安神

杨氏说：心疳是由于乳食不调，心脏受热所致。因为小儿气血尚未定固，哺乳喂养不当容易损伤身体，产生壅滞，体内有滞留的热邪，未能疏通，所以心神受惊郁结，出现惊疳的症状。外在表现为身体壮热，脸红唇红，口舌生疮，胸膈烦闷，小便赤涩，五心（两手心、两足心和心口）皆热，盗汗且口渴，磨牙和虚性惊悸。钱乙主张用安神丸治疗。薛己主张用安神丸来治心，用异功散来补脾。杨氏主张用茯苓丸、钱乙的安神丸来治疗。曾世荣主张宁心用茯神汤。

Yang Shi stated: Xin Gan (Heart-type Infantile Malnutrition) is caused by irregular breastfeeding and diet, leading to heat in the Heart.
