Is chronic pharyngitis rooted in the spleen and stomach?

Chronic pharyngitis is generally believed to be related to the lungs, spleen, stomach, kidneys and other organs, and the treatment should also target the above organs. In Chinese medicine, chronic pharyngitis is generally categorized as laryngeal paralysis (redness, swelling and pain in the pharynx, or dryness, foreign body sensation, or itchy and discomfort in the pharynx, and difficulty in swallowing), and it is believed that the occurrence of this disease is mainly related to the lungs, spleen, stomach, and kidneys. Common patterns of the disease include attack by external evils, exuberance of heat in the lungs and stomach (heavy heat in the lungs and stomach), deficiency of yin in the lungs and kidneys, and weakness of the spleen and qi (weak qi in the spleen). If it is an attack by external evils, with the lungs losing declination and the qi being unfavorable, symptoms such as pharyngeal pain, unfavorable swallowing, fever, malignant cold (fear of cold), headache, etc., can be chosen to be treated by dredging the wind and clearing the heat, such as the Tang of Clearing the Heat. If there is heat in the lungs and stomach (the heat of the lungs and stomach is very heavy), and the burnt throat is burnt by heat, the symptoms are mainly redness, swelling and pain in the pharynx, fever, thirst and desire to drink, foul-smelling breath and dryness of stools, and so on, and can be treated with Clearing the Pharynx and Lifting the Diaphragm Soup and other treatments. If there is deficiency of lung and kidney yin, deficiency of yin and fluid, and inflammation of deficiency fire, it is mainly characterized by dryness of the pharynx, dry cough with little and thick sputum, or blood in the sputum, and heat in the hands, feet and heart, etc., and can be treated with Nourishing Yin and Cleansing Lung (dispelling lung heat by nourishing the fluid in the lungs) Soup and other treatments. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the transportation is not functioning properly, the fluid cannot reach the pharynx, the pharyngeal veins and collaterals are not nourished, and the qi and blood do not run smoothly, then the main symptoms are tiredness and weakness (fatigue and weakness), lack of qi and laziness (lack of strength, don’t want to talk), poor gastric intake, abdominal distension, and loose stools, etc., which can be treated with tonifying the middle Jiaoqi (treating qi deficiency by nourishing the spleen) soup. Specific medication is recommended to consult a doctor.
