Commentary states: The throat and pharynx are governed by the Lung Meridian (Lung Channel) and Spleen Meridian (Spleen Channel). If children have heat in the Lungs and Spleen, it accumulates and stagnates in the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner), steaming and flaring up in the throat. This causes redness and swelling of the throat, and difficulty in swallowing or vomiting. There may be obstruction or congestion, aversion to cold with high fever, coughing with sputum; these are the clinical manifestations. Ancients said that internal organ heat causes swelling and blockage of the pharyngeal gate; is this not true?
