Features: This book is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) pediatrics. While maintaining the clinical characteristics of TCM pediatrics, it focuses on addressing common and difficult clinical conditions. It takes commonly used and effective formulas as the main body, with primary symptoms (or diseases) as the framework and TCM syndromes as the key points, selecting formulas based on the syndromes. The aim is to guide clinicians in identifying diseases and syndromes, and then reasonably and accurately modifying traditional TCM formulas according to the specific changes in syndromes, in order to resolve difficult conditions and improve clinical efficacy. The book covers 35 common pediatric symptoms and diseases, 121 TCM syndromes, and 302 formulas (including duplicates). Each section on primary symptoms (or diseases) primarily provides an overview, covering concepts, scope of discussion, etiology and pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, syndrome classification, and treatment principles. Each syndrome section introduces the syndrome name, clinical manifestations, TCM treatment methods, and formulas. Each formula is compiled according to the format of formula name, source, composition, usage, function, indications, and explanation (or modifications and contraindications), emphasizing practical clinical application. This book is one of the reference tools for clinical practitioners of TCM pediatrics and can also be used as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students in higher education institutions and those interested in TCM.
