1st Intercostal Space is the location for which point?

In this system of visceral-somatic reflex mapping used in OMM, each intercostal space has a corresponding ENT point. The Tonsils Anterior Point is assigned to the first intercostal space, so that location is the one you target to influence tonsillar function. This reflects the idea that stimulation at that skin area can modulate autonomic input and lymphatic drainage related to the tonsillar region. The other options correspond to different ENT structures and map to different intercostal spaces, not the first one.
