《医论选要》曰∶缠喉风者，热结于喉，肿绕于外，且麻且痒，肿而大也。治疗之
法，微者可以咸软之，大者可以辛散之，或去风痰，或解热毒。如肿甚药不能下者，以
药灌鼻中，令吐之。外以拔毒之剂敷之，热退肿消为吉。
窦汉卿曰∶夫缠喉风属痰热，咽喉里外皆肿者是也。外面无肿者，必身发热面
赤，此乃热毒之气极也。外面有肿者，身亦发热，邪火发外之原也。或牙关不强，外
面不肿，但喉中红者，曰暴感，热在心，如左边病退传右边，此余毒未尽故也。咽喉
有数证，有积热，有风热，有客热，有病后余毒未除，变化双乳蛾者，且如病中喉
间有肿红色数月，其光似镜者，此积热也。且如喉中有肿，其色微白，其形若臂者，此
风毒喉痹也。此热毒因而感风相搏而发故也，或咽中有肿，其色带紫色者，此乃客
热，谓其人暴感热毒之气，壅塞喉间，须用木通、元参、生地、黄芩、黄连、山栀
仁，泻心经之火为要。或有传变木舌者，皆心热蕴积于胸中，故口中痰臭，服剂以凉
膈为要，搓药以冰片散佐之，或用小 刀点之，以出紫血。（《全书》）
又云∶缠喉风外证如蛇缠颈，身发潮热，头目大痛，其证肿如紫糖色，内证其
肿红线白色，肿塞不见咽下。吹药内加雄黄、冰、麝，服荆防粘子二陈汤，急用鹅
毛蘸灯窝浊油，搅去痰涎三四碗方活；如痰不能去，难生矣。须要避风。
又云∶哑瘴喉风，乃风痰犯于咽膈之间，因此口不能言，牙关不开。急用蟾酥
磨水滴入鼻孔即开，随用桐油滴入喉中，仍将鹅毛搅喉间，风痰出尽，再用甘草汤解
桐油之气，吹药，更服荆防败毒散。如若面紫舌青唇黑，鼻流冷涕，爪甲俱青，目中多泪，俱不治。
又云∶弄舌喉风，此证哑不能言，舌出常将手拿，急将两手大指侧爪甲缝用三
棱针，每指刺三针，有血可治，无血不治。若针少商穴亦妙。用铜匙排开口，用胆硝
丹吹入喉中，灯窝内油脚再用鹅翎蘸搅出痰涎，仍服雄黄化毒丸七丸，清茶送下，后
服疏风甘桔汤，频吹冰片散。
窦梦麟曰∶缠喉风因肾经有热，内枯不能上润，致令心火强盛，故发此证。如
喉间雷响者不可治，切宜仔细。
又曰∶呛食喉风，此证因热毒在于心经，咽喉燥而无痰。若呛食者不可治；如
久不治，变为飞丝劳毒，能伤人命。
又曰∶脚根喉风，此证脚根发起，至于喉间，或一年发一次，半年发一次。切
忌热物，不得伤于怒气。其病一日行一穴，至七日行七穴，虽然不妨，只是要发。用
吹喉药，仍服败毒药。如肿恶发泡者死。
男子患缠喉风肿，表里皆作，药不能下。余以疏风清热药灌六十余次，外以阳
起石烧研同伏龙肝等分和匀，新汲水调扫百遍，三日热始退，肿始消。
胡景周曰∶如用桐油探吐，或吹药吐
痰后，而肿不消，或人事不知者，急用针刺患处，以去恶血即苏。
奎光曰∶缠喉风因心中躁急而发，先二日必胸膈气紧，出气短促，忽然咽喉肿
痛，手足厥冷，颈如搅转，热结于内，肿扰于外，且麻且痒，喉内红丝缠绕，手指
甲白，手心壮热，喉肿而大，风痰壅盛，声如拽锯，是其候也，最为急证。初起一日
夜，目直视，喉中如雷声者，不治；灯火近患人口吹灭者，不治；若喘急额汗，危在旦夕。
又曰∶缠喉风者，热结于喉，肿绕于外，且麻且痒也。
又曰∶缠者自颐缠绕；赤色寒热也。
又曰∶缠喉风初起，用金丹、碧丹等分频频吹之，内服煎剂下药，须兼牛黄。（方载咽喉门。）
《医论选要》说：缠喉风，是热邪结聚于咽喉，肿胀环绕外部，且伴有麻木和瘙痒感，肿胀程度较大。治疗的方法，病情轻微的可以用咸味药物软化消散，病情严重的可以用辛散药物发散，或者祛除风痰，或者解除热毒。如果肿胀非常严重，药物无法服下的，将药物灌入鼻中，促使患者呕吐。外部使用拔毒的药剂敷贴，热退肿消为吉兆。
窦汉卿说：缠喉风属于痰热证，表现为咽喉内部和外部都肿胀。如果外部没有肿胀，必然身体发热、面色发红，这是热毒之气极盛的表现。如果外部有肿胀，身体也会发热，这是邪火向外发散的根源。有的牙关不僵硬，外部不肿胀，只有咽喉内部发红，称为“暴感”，病位在心经，如左侧病症消退后传至右侧，这是因为余毒未尽的缘故。咽喉有多种证候，有积热，有风热，有客热，有病后余毒未除，变化成双乳蛾（扁桃体红肿）的。例如患病期间咽喉间有红肿持续数月，光泽如镜面般的，这是积热。又如咽喉中有肿胀，颜色微白，形状像手臂一样的，这是风毒喉痹。这是由于热毒感受风邪相搏而发作的。或者咽中有肿胀，颜色带紫色的，这是客热，指此人突然感受热毒之气，壅塞在咽喉之间，必须用木通、玄参、生地黄、黄芩、黄连、山栀子仁，以泻心经之火为关键。有的会传变成为木舌（舌体肿大僵硬），都是心热蕴积在胸中，所以口中痰液有臭味，服药以凉膈散为关键，外用药以冰片散辅助，或者用小刀点刺，放出紫血。（出自《全书》）
又说：缠喉风的表证像蛇缠绕颈部，身体出现潮热，头部和眼睛剧烈疼痛，其证候肿胀呈紫糖色；里证其肿胀红线白色，肿胀堵塞看不见吞咽动作。吹药内加入雄黄、冰片、麝香，服用荆防粘子二陈汤，急用鹅毛蘸取灯窝中的浊油，搅动去除三四碗痰涎才能存活；如果痰不能去除，就难以痊愈了。必须要避风。
又说：哑瘴喉风，是风痰侵犯在咽膈之间，因此口不能说话，牙关打不开。急用蟾酥磨水滴入鼻孔即可张开，随即用桐油滴入喉中，仍将鹅毛搅动咽喉间，风痰出尽后，再用甘草汤解桐油的气味，吹药，再服用荆防败毒散。如果面色紫、舌头青、嘴唇黑，鼻子流冷涕，指甲全部发青，眼中多泪，都属于不治之症。
又说：弄舌喉风，此证哑不能说话，舌头伸出常用手拿，急将两手大拇指侧面的指甲缝用三棱针，每指刺三针，有血流出可治，无血流出不可治。如果针刺少商穴也很好。用铜匙撬开嘴巴，用胆硝丹吹入喉中，灯窝内的油脚再用鹅翎蘸取搅出痰涎，仍服用雄黄化毒丸七丸，清茶送下，之后服用疏风甘桔汤，频繁吹撒冰片散。
窦梦麟说：缠喉风因为肾经有热，内部干枯不能上润，致使心火强盛，所以发生此证。如果咽喉间发出雷响般的声音则不可治，务必仔细辨别。
又说：呛食喉风，此证因为热毒在心经，咽喉干燥而没有痰。如果是因呛食引起的则不可治；如果长期不治疗，变为飞丝劳毒，能伤害人命。
又说：脚跟喉风，此证从脚跟发起，蔓延至咽喉间，或一年发作一次，半年发作一次。切忌吃热物，不得生气发怒。其病一天行经一个穴位，到七天行经七个穴位，虽然不妨碍生命，只是会发作。使用吹喉药，仍服用败毒药。如果肿胀恶臭发泡则死亡。
男子患缠喉风肿胀，表里皆作，药物无法服下。我用疏风清热药灌服六十多次，外部用阳起石烧研同伏龙肝等分混合均匀，新汲水调匀涂抹一百遍，三天后热才退，肿才消。
胡景周说：如果用桐油探吐，或吹药吐痰后，而肿胀不消，或人事不知的，急用针刺患处，以去除恶血即可苏醒。
奎光说：缠喉风因为心中躁急而发作，前两日必定胸膈气紧，呼吸短促，忽然咽喉肿痛，手足厥冷，脖子像被搅转一样，热结于内，肿胀扰动于外，且麻且痒，喉内红丝缠绕，手指甲白，手心壮热，喉肿而大，风痰壅盛，声音像拉锯一样，是其征候，最为急重的证候。初起一日一夜，眼睛直视，喉中如雷声的，不治；灯火靠近患者口部被吹灭的，不治；如果喘急额头出汗，危在旦夕。
又说：缠喉风，是热邪结聚于咽喉，肿胀环绕外部，且伴有麻木和瘙痒感。
又说：“缠”是指从面颊下部（颐）缠绕向上；赤色代表寒热交替。
The *Yi Lun Xuan Yao* (Selected Essential Medical Discussions) states: Chan Hou Feng (Choked Throat Wind) refers to heat pathogen accumulating in the throat, with swelling surrounding the exterior, accompanied by numbness and itching, and significant enlargement. The treatment method for mild cases is to use salty substances to soften and dissipate; for severe cases, pungent substances are used to disperse, or to eliminate wind-phlegm, or to resolve heat-toxin. If the swelling is so severe that medicine cannot be swallowed, administer medicine into the nose to induce vomiting. Externally apply detoxifying agents; if fever subsides and swelling disappears, it is a favorable sign.
Dou Hanqing stated: Chan Hou Feng belongs to phlegm-heat syndrome, characterized by swelling both inside and outside the throat. If there is no external swelling, the body must be feverish and the face red, indicating extreme excess of heat-toxin qi. If there is external swelling, the body also has fever, which is the origin of evil fire manifesting outwardly. In cases where the jaw is not stiff, there is no external swelling, but the interior of the throat is red, it is called "Bao Gan" (Sudden Contraction), with the pathology in the Heart Meridian. If the condition on the left recedes and transmits to the right, this is due to residual toxin not yet cleared. There are several syndromes of the throat: accumulated heat, wind-heat, guest-heat, and residual toxin after illness that transforms into Shuang Ru E (Double Tonsillar Swelling). For instance, if during an illness there is redness and swelling in the throat lasting months, with a luster like a mirror, this is accumulated heat. If there is swelling in the throat, slightly white in color, shaped like an arm, this is Feng Du Hou Bi (Wind-Toxic Throat Obstruction). This occurs because heat-toxin combines with wind pathogen to erupt. Or if there is swelling in the pharynx with a purplish hue, this is guest-heat, meaning the person suddenly contracted heat-toxin qi, obstructing the throat. It is essential to use Tong Cao (Akebia Caulis), Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma), and Shan Zhi Ren (Gardeniae Semen) to drain fire from the Heart Meridian. Some may progress to Mu She (Wooden Tongue), all caused by heart-heat accumulating in the chest, resulting in foul-smelling phlegm in the mouth. Internal medication should prioritize Liang Ge San (Cool the Diaphragm Powder), assisted externally by Bing Pian San (Borneol Powder), or puncture with a small knife to release purple blood. (From *Quan Shu*)
It further states: The exterior signs of Chan Hou Feng resemble a snake coiling around the neck, with tidal fever, severe headache and eye pain. The swelling appears purple-brown. The interior signs show red lines and white swelling, blocking the view of swallowing. Add Xiong Huang (Realgar), Bing Pian (Borneolum Syntheticum), and She Xiang (Moschus) to the insufflated powder. Administer Jing Fang Nian Zi Er Chen Tang (Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia, Perilla Seed, and Two-Aged Phlegm Decoction). Urgently dip a goose feather in the turbid oil from the lamp wick holder, stir to remove three to four bowls of phlegm and saliva for survival; if phlegm cannot be removed, recovery is difficult. Avoid wind.
It further states: Ya Zhang Hou Feng (Mute Miasma Throat Wind) occurs when wind-phlegm invades between the pharynx and diaphragm, causing inability to speak and locked jaw. Urgently grind Chan Su (Toad Venom) with water and drip into the nostrils to open the mouth. Immediately drip Tung You (Tung Oil) into the throat, then use a goose feather to stir the throat until all wind-phlegm is expelled. Then use Gan Cao Tang (Licorice Decoction) to neutralize the smell of tung oil, apply insufflated powder, and take Jing Fang Bai Du San (Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia, and Detoxification Powder). If the face is purple, tongue cyanotic, lips black, nose runs cold mucus, nails are all blue, and eyes tear excessively, these are untreatable.
It further states: Nong She Hou Feng (Playing Tongue Throat Wind) presents as muteness, with the tongue protruding and being handled by hand. Urgently use a Three-Edged Needle to prick the nail beds on the sides of both thumbs, three times per finger. If blood flows, it is treatable; if not, it is untreatable. Pricking Shao Shang (LU 11) is also excellent. Use a copper spoon to pry open the mouth, insufflate Dan Xiao Dan (Calomel and Borneol Powder) into the throat. Use the oil residue from the lamp wick holder with a goose feather to stir out phlegm and saliva. Still administer seven pills of Xiong Huang Hua Du Wan (Realgar Detoxification Pill), taken with clear tea. Subsequently take Shu Feng Gan Jie Tang (Wind-Dispersing Licorice and Platycodon Decoction) and frequently insufflate Bing Pian San (Borneol Powder).
Dou Menglin stated: Chan Hou Feng arises because heat in the Kidney Meridian causes internal dryness unable to moisten upwards, leading to hyperactive Heart fire, thus triggering this syndrome. If thunderous sounds are heard in the throat, it is untreatable; careful observation is crucial.
It further states: Qiang Shi Hou Feng (Choking Food Throat Wind) occurs because heat-toxin is in the Heart Meridian, causing dryness in the throat without phlegm. If caused by choking on food, it is untreatable; if left untreated for a long time, it transforms into Fei Si Lao Du (Flying Silk Labor Toxin), which can be fatal.
It further states: Gen Jiao Hou Feng (Heel Throat Wind) originates from the heel and spreads to the throat, occurring once a year or every half year. Strictly avoid hot foods and emotional anger. The disease travels one acupoint per day, reaching seven acupoints in seven days. Although not immediately life-threatening, it will flare up. Use throat insufflation powders and still take Bai Du Yao (Detoxification Medicine). If the swelling becomes foul and blisters, death ensues.
A man suffered from Chan Hou Feng with swelling affecting both exterior and interior, making oral medication impossible. I administered Shu Feng Qing Re Yao (Wind-Dispersing Heat-Clearing Medicine) via gavage more than sixty times. Externally, I mixed Yang Qi Shi (Stibnite) calcined and powdered with Fu Long Gan (Dragon's Liver/Colored Earth) in equal parts, blended with fresh drawn water, and applied/swabbed the area one hundred times. After three days, the fever subsided and swelling decreased.
Hu Jingzhou stated: If after inducing vomiting with tung oil or expelling phlegm via insufflation, the swelling does not subside or the patient loses consciousness, urgently needle the affected area to evacuate bad blood, and the patient will revive.
Kui Guang stated: Chan Hou Feng erupts due to mental agitation. Two days prior, there must be tightness in the chest and diaphragm, shortness of breath, followed by sudden throat swelling and pain, cold limbs, neck stiffness as if twisted, heat knotting internally, swelling disturbing externally, numbness and itching, red filaments winding in the throat, white fingernails, intense heat in palms, large throat swelling, abundant wind-phlegm obstruction, and a voice like sawing wood. These are its signs, representing a critical emergency. In the first day and night of onset, if the eyes stare fixedly and the throat sounds like thunder, it is untreatable; if a lamp flame near the patient's mouth is blown out, it is untreatable; if panting is urgent and sweat appears on the forehead, danger is imminent.
It further states: Chan Hou Feng is heat knotting in the throat, swelling surrounding the exterior, with numbness and itching.
It further states: "Chan" (Entangle) refers to winding from the mandible upward; redness indicates alternating chills and fever.
It further states: For early-stage Chan Hou Feng, insufflate Jin Dan (Golden Pill) and Bi Dan (Green Pill) in equal parts frequently. Internally take decoction with added Niuhuang (Calculus Bovis). (Formula recorded in the Throat Gate section.)
