论述说，喉咙是呼吸的通道，是气上下运行的路径；悬痈（位于口腔顶部后方的肉质突起）是发声的关键部位。如果脏腑内有潜伏的热邪，热气向上冲逆至喉咽，导致气血壅滞阻塞，结聚在悬痈处，毒热之气无法消散，因此出现肿痛、妨碍呼吸和吞咽的症状。严重的甚至会长出数寸长，随着咽喉的开合而进出，导致无法进食和呼吸，应当紧急治疗。

Commentary states that the throat is the pathway for respiration and the route through which Qi ascends and descends; the uvula (the fleshy projection hanging from the soft palate) serves as the gate for voice production. If latent heat exists within the Zang-Fu organs, Qi attacks upward against the throat and pharynx, causing Qi and Blood to stagnate and obstruct, knotting at the uvula. The toxic heat fails to dissipate, resulting in swelling, pain, and a sensation of obstruction affecting breathing and swallowing. In severe cases, it may grow several inches long, protruding in and out with the opening and closing of the throat, making eating and breathing impossible; urgent treatment is required.
