有一位五十多岁的男子，患伤寒咳嗽，喉咙里发出像打鼾一样的声音。服用一剂独参汤后，鼾声消失；再服二三帖，咳嗽也逐渐减退；总共服用了二三斤药后，病才完全痊愈。
〔梅〕治疗长期患有呷嗽（一种伴有哮鸣音的咳嗽），喉咙作响无法安睡，取白前捣成粉末，用温酒调服二钱匕。（《本草衍义》说：白前能安定肺气。）
〔张仲景〕咳嗽且气逆上冲，喉咙里发出像水鸡（青蛙）叫的声音，用射干麻黄汤主治。
射干（三两） 麻黄 生姜（各四两） 细辛 紫菀 款冬花（各三两） 大枣（七枚） 五味子 半夏（各半升）

〔《千金方》〕白前汤：治疗咳逆气上冲，身体浮肿，气短腹胀，早晚倚靠墙壁无法躺卧，喉咙里发出像水鸡叫的声音。
以上药材切碎，用水一斗，浸泡一夜，第二天早晨煮取三升药液，分三次服用。
〔《黄帝内经·素问〕阴气在内争竞，阳气在外受扰，魄汗未能固藏，四肢厥冷随之而起，厥冷之气上熏于肺，使人喘息有声。（出自《阴阳别论》）起居如常但呼吸有声音的，这是肺的络脉气机逆乱所致。络脉之气不能随经脉上下运行，所以滞留于经中而不行。络脉病变轻微，所以起居如常但呼吸有声音。（出自《逆调论》）督脉生病，气逆上有声音，治疗喉中央位于缺盆中的穴位。（即天突穴。）其病气上冲咽喉的，治疗渐穴，渐穴位于颧骨上方夹持颐部处。（王冰注认为是天容穴。）
〔《针灸甲乙经〕咳嗽，喉咙鸣响，唾血，由大钟穴主治。胸胁支撑胀满，不能俯仰，痈咳气逆上冲，喉咽间喝喝有声，由太溪穴主治。咳逆气上冲，咽喉喝喝喘息，由扶突穴主治。
A man over fifty years old suffered from cold damage (Shanghan) with coughing, and his throat made sounds like snoring. After taking one dose of Dushen Tang (Ginseng Decoction), the snoring sound ceased; after two or three more doses, the cough gradually subsided; only after consuming two to three jin (approx. 1-1.5 kg) of medicine did the illness fully resolve.
[Mei] To treat chronic Xieke (cough with wheezing sound) where the throat makes noise preventing sleep, take Baiqian (Cymbopterygium Root) pounded into powder, mixed with warm wine for a dose of two qianbi (approx. 6-9 grams). ([Bencao Yan Yi / Elucidation of Materia Medica] states: Baiqian stabilizes Lung Qi.)
[Zhang Zhongjing] For cough with upward rushing of Qi, and a sound in the throat resembling that of a water chicken (frog), Shegan Mahuang Tang (Thoroughwort and Ephedra Decoction) is the primary treatment.
Shegan (3 liang) Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger Root) (each 4 liang) Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) Ziwan (Asteris Radix) Kuandonghua (Farfarae Flos) (each 3 liang) Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) (7 pieces) Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) (each half sheng)
The above nine ingredients are decocted in 12 sheng of water. First, boil Mahuang until it boils twice, skim off the foam on the surface, then add the remaining herbs. Boil until 3 sheng of liquid remains. Divide into three warm doses.
[Qianjin Fang] Baiqian Tang: Treats rebellious Qi rising with cough, bodily edema, shortness of breath and abdominal fullness, inability to lie down day or night even while leaning against a wall, and a sound in the throat like a water chicken.
Baiqian Ziwan Banxia Daji (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix) (each 3 liang)
The herbs are cut into small pieces, soaked in 10 sheng of water overnight, and boiled the next morning until 3 sheng of liquid remains. Divide into three doses.
[Su Wen / Basic Questions] Yin contends within, Yang disturbs without; Pohan (sweat associated with the Po soul) is not stored; four extremities become cold (Sini). When this cold rises, it steams the Lungs, causing panting and wheezing. (From "Treatise on Differentiating Yin and Yang") If daily activities remain normal but respiration produces sound, this indicates reversal of the collateral vessels of the Lung. The collateral Qi cannot follow the meridians up and down, thus stagnating in the main channels without flowing. Since the pathology of the collaterals is slight, daily activities remain normal despite respiratory sounds. (From "Treatise on Reversed Regulation") When the Du Mai (Governor Vessel) is diseased, there is upward rushing Qi with sound; treat the point in the center of the throat located in the depression of the collarbone. (This is Tiantu [CV-22]). When the pathological Qi rushes upward to the throat, treat Jian; Jian is located above, flanking the chin. (Wang Bing’s commentary identifies this as Tianrong [SI-17]).
[Jia Yi Jing / Acupuncture and Moxibustion Classic] For cough, throat鸣 (wheezing/ringing), and spitting blood, Da Zhong (KI-4) is indicated. For chest and hypochondriac distension and fullness, inability to bend forward or backward, Yongke (painful cough) with rebellious Qi, and hoarse sounds in the throat and pharynx, Tai Xi (KI-3) is indicated. For rebellious Qi with cough, and hoarse panting in the throat, Fu Tu (ST-12) is indicated.
