论述说,喉痹是指喉咙内部肿胀堵塞、疼痛闭塞,导致水浆无法咽下。如果治疗稍有迟缓,就会危及生命。这通常是由于脾肺功能失调,热毒蕴积在内,又外受寒邪侵袭,导致这两条经络壅滞发热,热结于咽喉之间,造成闭塞不通。其症状表现为身体发热、怕冷。治疗方法中有先针刺后用药的,可以说是抓住了当务之急。

Discourse states that Hou Bi (Sore Throat with Obstruction) refers to swelling, blockage, and painful obstruction in the throat, preventing the intake of water or gruel. If treatment is delayed even slightly, it can be fatal. This condition generally arises from dysfunction of the Spleen and Lung, leading to the accumulation of heat toxins internally, combined with an external invasion of cold pathogenic factors.
