上卷发明四字,乃喉科总诀,活法在人。兹将重要喉风二十二症,名目证治,胪列如后。
其风在喉内,一边作核,经二三日,寒热,不能吞咽。先服防风消毒散一二剂,如不退,
用针针至无血,即安针。用毫猪箭消毒散,即遇有余症,皆可服。或用盐草根,即盐糟 ,或
用矮荷根,即凉伞树,含之皆治。(炳章按∶此症必有郁火积痰,如羌、防、升麻、桔梗、川芎、
半夏皆忌,宜避用。当加元参、川贝、昆布、海藻等味,以软坚化痰为安。)
其风在喉内,两边作核,吞咽不下,风热烦闷,口干,用盐草根、矮荷根及生胆矾含之
立效。(炳章按∶亦须内服养阴清肺汤等剂。)
其风在喉内,肿满,却又不甚。有血筋三四路,如棉丝相似,令人口干,烦闷。此症宜有
涎。先用胆矾点之,内服石膏汤清胃火也。
其症在喉内,生肉鳞四五个,或在喉咙两
边,或在舌上,如松子一样,不能吞咽。先吹神药末,数次后,针其血。若生六七个,不治。
其风在右边,面肿,牙关紧急,不能饮食,头痛寒热。可用针法,并吹金银二消丹(即金
锁匙、银锁匙),此症难愈。(炳章按∶宜内服散风消肿,豁痰清火之剂。)

The "Four Characters" elucidated in the Upper Volume are the general principles of throat disease treatment; their flexible application depends on the physician. Herein, the names, syndromes, and treatments of twenty-two important types of Hou Feng (Throat Wind) are listed as follows.
When the pathogenic wind is inside the throat, a mass forms on one side. After two or three days, chills and fever occur, and swallowing becomes impossible. First, administer Fangfeng Xiaodu San (Saposhnikovia Decoction for Dispelling Toxins) for one or two doses. If symptoms do not subside, use acupuncture until bleeding stops, then remove the needle. Haozhu Jian Xiaodu San (Haozhu Arrow Decoction for Dispelling Toxins) can be used; even if residual symptoms remain, it may be taken. Alternatively, Yancao Gen (Saltwort Root, also known as Yanzao) or Aihé Gen (Dwarf Lotus Root, also known as Liangshan Tree Root) can be held in the mouth for treatment. (Bingzhang notes: This syndrome must involve accumulated phlegm due to constrained fire. Herbs such as Qianghuo, Fangfeng, Shengma, Jiegeng, Chuanxiong, and Banxia should all be contraindicated and avoided. Instead, add Yuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix), Chuanbeimu (Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus), Kunbu (Eckloniae Thallus), and Haizao (Sargassum Thallus) to soften hardness and resolve phlegm.)
When the pathogenic wind is inside the throat, masses form on both sides, making swallowing difficult. Accompanied by wind-heat, restlessness, and dry mouth, holding Yancang Gen, Aihé Gen, and raw Danfan (Alumen) in the mouth yields immediate effect. (Bingzhang notes: Internal administration of Yangyin Qingfei Tang (Nourish Yin and Clear Lung Decoction) and similar formulas is also required.)
When the pathogenic wind is inside the throat, there is swelling and fullness, though not severe. Three or four blood vessels appear, resembling cotton threads, causing dry mouth and restlessness. This syndrome should present with saliva. First, apply Danfan (Alumen) locally. Internally, administer Shigao Tang (Gypsum Decoction) to clear stomach heat.
In this syndrome, four or five fleshy excrescences grow inside the throat, either on both sides of the throat or on the tongue, resembling pine nuts, making swallowing impossible. First, insufflate Shenyaomo (Divine Medicinal Powder). After several applications, puncture the area to release blood. If six or seven excrescences grow, the condition is incurable.
When the pathogenic wind is on the right side, the face swells, the jaw is stiff, eating and drinking are impossible, and headache with chills and fever occurs. Acupuncture can be used, and Jinyin Er Xiao Dan (Gold and Silver Two Elimination Powder, i.e., Jin Suoshi and Yin Suoshi) can be insufflated. This syndrome is difficult to cure. (Bingzhang notes: It is appropriate to internally administer formulas that dispel wind, reduce swelling, resolve phlegm, and clear fire.)
