Features: This textbook is divided into ten chapters, with Chapter 1 on the Basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine Pediatrics; Chapter 2 on Children's Health Care; and Chapters 3 to 10 covering clinical knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine Pediatrics. It systematically introduces diseases and conditions of the newborn, pulmonary system, spleen system, heart system, liver system, kidney system, infectious diseases, parasitic diseases, and other conditions. The appendix includes pediatric massage therapy, normal values for physical development in children under 7 years old, and an index of all formulas and patent medicines in the textbook. The dosages of drugs listed in this book refer to newborns for neonatal diseases, while other chapters generally indicate dosages for children aged 1-3. Dosages for children of other ages can be adjusted accordingly. Special preparation methods such as decocting first (e.g., Ling), decocting last (e.g., Mint), decocting with decocted herbs (e.g., Plantain), dissolving (e.g., Eel glue), and separately administering (e.g., Saiga antelope horn powder) are generally not noted. Clinical application should be based on the knowledge learned from "Traditional Chinese Medicine."
