凡失欠颊车蹉，但开不能合，以酒饮之，令大醉，睡中吹药搐其鼻，嚏透即自正。
夫喉以候气，咽以咽物；咽接三脘以通胃，喉通五脏以系肺，气谷攸分，皎然明白。有
为水喉谷喉之说者，谬说也。《千金》复云∶喉咙候脾胃，咽门候肝胆。亦非至论，智者当
以理推，不可强存乎人矣。诸脏热则肿，寒则缩，皆使喉闭，风燥亦然。五脏久咳则声嘶，
嘶者喉破也，非咽门病，咽肿则不能吞，干则不能咽。多因饮啖辛热，或复呕吐烙伤，致咽
系干枯之所为也，与喉门自别。又有悬痈暴肿，闭塞喉咙，亦如喉闭。但悬痈在上 ，俗谓
莺翁，又谓之鹅聚，俗语声讹，不可不备识。

凡是打哈欠导致颊车穴错位，嘴巴张开无法闭合，用酒让人喝到大醉，在睡梦中吹药入鼻引起喷嚏，喷嚏打出后嘴巴就能自动复位。
喉的功能是候察气息，咽的功能是吞咽食物；咽连接三脘以通达胃腑，喉连通五脏以系联肺脏，气与谷的通道分别明确，道理清晰明白。有人提出“水喉”和“谷喉”的说法，这是错误的理论。《千金方》又说：喉咙候察脾胃，咽门候察肝胆。这也不是至理名言，明智的人应当根据事理推断，不可强行保留这些人的谬误观点。各个脏腑受热则肿胀，受寒则收缩，都会导致喉闭，风燥也是如此。五脏久咳会导致声音嘶哑，嘶哑是因为喉部破损，不是咽门的疾病；咽部肿胀则不能吞咽，干燥则不能咽下。多因为饮食辛辣热物，或者反复呕吐灼伤，导致咽系干枯所造成的，这与喉门的情况自是不同。又有悬痈突然肿胀，闭塞喉咙，也如同喉闭证。只是悬痈位于上方，俗称莺翁，又叫做鹅聚，这是俗语的音讹，不可不详细记录以备识别。
小续命汤 治疗突发喉痹，不能言语。（方剂见中风门）
加入去皮尖的杏仁七个煎煮，效果很好。
Whenever the tongue is swollen, there must be "Jin Chong" (a pathological entity resembling a worm) under the tongue, shaped like a mole cricket or a silkworm lying down, with a head and tail; the head is white. It can be cauterized with a red-hot iron rod applied to its head, which will cause it to disappear.
To treat sudden swelling and rupture of the tongue.
Fu Di Mei (Carbon from the bottom of a cooking pot, ground into fine powder).
Mix the above with vinegar and apply to the upper and lower surfaces of the tongue; reapply after the medication falls off. It is even better if bleeding is induced first before application. Another method uses equal parts of salt and Fu Di Mei mixed together.
To treat heat obstruction causing a white coating on the tongue, dryness and roughness, and unclear speech.
Bohe Ziran Zhi (Fresh juice of Mint Herb) and Baimi (White Honey) in equal proportions.
First, wipe and clean the affected area with a slice of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger Root) dipped in water, then apply the medication for good efficacy.
To treat heat accumulation causing bleeding from the tongue surface like a spring.
Wubeizi (Galla Chinensis, washed), Bai Jiaoxiang (Boswelliae Resina), and Muli Fen (Ostreae Concha Powder) in equal proportions.
Grind the above into powder. Use a small amount to sprinkle on the lesion, or heat an iron rod until red-hot and cauterize the bleeding pore.
To treat wind-damp-cold causing tongue stiffness and inability to speak.
Kufan (Alumen Calcined) and Guixin (Cinnamon Twig Heart) in equal proportions.
Grind the above into powder. Place one qian of the powder under the tongue each time, or treat with Zhengshe San (see Stroke Section for formula).
If the Jiache acupoint is dislocated due to yawning, resulting in an open mouth that cannot close, administer wine to induce deep drunkenness. While the patient sleeps, blow medication into the nose to induce sneezing; upon sneezing, the jaw will automatically realign.
The Hou (throat/pharynx) functions to monitor qi, while the Yan (gullet/oesophagus) functions to swallow food; the Yan connects to the three epigastria to communicate with the Stomach, and the Hou connects to the five zang organs to link with the Lungs. The pathways for qi and grain are distinct, clear and understandable. Those who propose theories of "Water Hou" and "Grain Hou" are presenting erroneous views. *Qianjin Fang* further states: "Hou monitors Spleen and Stomach, Yan gate monitors Liver and Gallbladder." This is also not the ultimate truth. Wise individuals should deduce based on reason and not forcibly retain such personal fallacies. When various zang organs are hot, they swell; when cold, they contract; both conditions cause Hou Bi (throat closure), as does wind-dryness. Prolonged coughing from the five zang organs leads to hoarseness; hoarseness indicates damage to the Hou, not a disease of the Yan gate. If the Yan swells, swallowing is impossible; if it dries, swallowing is difficult. This is often caused by consuming spicy and hot foods or repeated vomiting causing thermal injury, leading to dryness of the Yan system, which is distinct from the Hou gate. There is also Xuan Yong (suspended abscess) sudden swelling that blocks the throat, similar to Hou Bi. However, Xuan Yong is located superiorly, commonly known as Ying Weng, or also called E Ju. These are phonetic errors in colloquial language and must be recorded carefully for identification.
Xiao Xuming Tang (Minor Continuation of Life Decoction) treats sudden Hou Bi (throat obstruction) with inability to speak. (Formula see Stroke Section).
Add seven Ren (Apricot Seed, peeled and tip removed) and decoct; this is very effective.
