喉中 痰 。毒火不得发越者。未出正出十全一。正收收后难为也。
麻属肺胃。如喉中有痰 而鸣者。其症属痰火之候。此因毒火内结之极。邪热阻逆。不得

朱曰 此证余热内攻。肺气受伤。十救一二。医者病者。当预先防之。
咳嗽咽伤声喑哑。非与痘疮同例也。此乃麻疹之常候。认作危症是愚者。
麻本属火。喑哑乃麻之常候。多吉无凶。不可以痘疮喑哑比例。盖因肺胃热邪。为风寒所袭。
不能尽达于表。咳甚咽伤。故喑哑也。治宜清肺降火消痰为主。以清咽滋肺汤（见五十条）除去玉

In the throat, there is phlegm and rattling. If toxic heat cannot be vented outward, among those in the pre-eruption or initial eruption stage, one or two out of ten may be saved; however, if this occurs after the resolution phase, it is difficult to treat.
The pathogen of measles primarily belongs to the Lung and Stomach meridians. If there is phlegm rattling in the throat, the syndrome belongs to Phlegm-Fire. This is caused by extreme internal accumulation of toxic heat, where pathogenic heat causes obstruction and rebellion, preventing venting outward. If this symptom appears between the pre-eruption and initial eruption stages, treatment should focus on clearing the Lungs, descending Fire, and resolving Phlegm. One or two out of ten may be saved. The main prescription is Chu Re Qing Fei Tang (Heat-Removing Lung-Clearing Decoction) (see Article 50), with Chi Shao (Red Peony Root) and Gan Cao (Licorice Root) removed. If this symptom appears during the resolution phase or after resolution, it indicates that pathogenic heat has not been fully exfoliated, toxic heat has transmitted inward, or early exposure to wind caused premature resolution, allowing residual heat to attack internally and damage Lung Qi. This condition is indeed difficult to treat. Therefore, prevention should be undertaken before the disease occurs.
Zhu stated: This syndrome involves residual heat attacking internally and damaging Lung Qi; only one or two out of ten can be saved. Both physicians and patients should take preventive measures in advance.
Cough and throat injury leading to hoarseness are not analogous to cases of smallpox. This is a common manifestation of measles; mistaking it for a critical condition is foolish.
Measles pathogen inherently belongs to Fire. Hoarseness is often a common occurrence in measles, generally auspicious rather than ominous, and should not be compared to hoarseness caused by smallpox. This is likely because Heat pathogens in the Lung and Stomach were attacked by Wind-Cold, preventing them from fully reaching the exterior. Severe coughing injures the throat, resulting in hoarseness. Treatment should prioritize clearing the Lungs, descending Fire, and resolving Phlegm. Use Qing Yan Zi Fei Tang (Throat-Clearing Lung-Nourishing Decoction) (see Article 50), removing Yu Zhu (Polygonatum Rhizome), Jie Geng (Platycodon Root), and Gan Cao (Licorice Root), and adding Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root) and Mu Tong (Akebia Caulis) as the main prescription. For cough with hoarseness due to Lung Heat, use Wan Shi Qing Fei Yin (Wan’s Lung-Clearing Infusion), removing Shi Chang Pu (Acorus Rhizome), He Zi Ren (Chebula Seed), and Jie Geng (Platycodon Root), and adding Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root) and Bei Mu (Fritillaria Bulb) as the main prescription. For hoarseness accompanied by sore throat, use She Gan Xiao Du Yin (Belamcanda Detoxifying Infusion), removing Gan Cao (Licorice Root), and adding Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root) and Shan Dou Gen (Sophora Tonkinensis Root) as the main prescription. If after measles there is unclear voice, cough, loss of appetite, blurred vision, and dry lips and mouth, use Qing Fei Xiao Du Hua Tan Tang (Lung-Clearing Detoxifying and Phlegm-Resolving Decoction) (see Article 50), removing Jie Geng (Platycodon Root) and Gan Cao (Licorice Root), and adding Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome), and Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthes Root) as the main prescription. If Heart deficiency leads to weak voice, use Dao Chi Tong Qi Tang (Guiding Outward Water and Unblocking Qi Decoction), removing Gan Cao (Licorice Root) and Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), and adding Sha Shen (Glehnia Root) as the main prescription. If Lung Heat causes unclear voice resonance, use Gan Cao Qing Jin San (Licorice Metal-Clearing Powder) as the main prescription. If accompanied by cough, use Qing Jin Jiang Huo Tang (Metal-Clearing Fire-Descending Decoction) as the main prescription. Alternatively, use empirical formulas for treatment.
Zhu stated: Hoarseness and raspy voice appear alarming, but reading this poem brings relief.
