论述说：喉痹这种病，表现为咽喉部肿胀堵塞、痹阻疼痛，导致水饮无法咽下，呼吸受到阻碍，伴有寒热往来。这是由于风热邪气侵袭脾肺，熏蒸灼烧咽喉所致。小儿体质属“纯阳”，因此特别容易患此病。如果不迅速治疗，毒邪侵入心脏，就会出现烦躁闷乱、心中懊恼的症状，立即导致生命危险。

Commentary states: The disease of Hou Bi (throat obstruction) is characterized by swelling and blockage in the throat, bi pain (obstructive pain), inability to swallow water or fluids, obstructed breathing, and alternating chills and fever. This results from wind-heat pathogens invading the Spleen and Lungs, steaming and scorching the pharynx and larynx. Children possess a "pure yang" constitution, making them particularly susceptible to this ailment. If not treated promptly, toxic pathogens may enter the Heart, causing restlessness, stifling sensation, and mental agitation, leading immediately to critical danger.
To treat pediatric Hou Bi, which arises from accumulated heat in the Spleen and Lungs causing Qi and Blood stagnation and blockage, do not puncture with needles; instead, treat with the following formula. Mutong Tang (Wood Vessel Decoction):
