Introduction
For allergic tracheitis and asthma, xanthine drugs such as aminophylline tablets, doxofylline tablets, and dyphylline tablets should be used under medical supervision. Corticosteroid medications such as budesonide/formoterol powder for inhalation, salmeterol/fluticasone inhalation powder, and budesonide suspension may also be used. Leukotriene receptor antagonists such as montelukast sodium tablets, zafirlukast tablets, and pranlukast capsules are optional treatments.
Allergic tracheitis and asthma can usually be treated with xanthine medications, corticosteroids, leukotriene receptor antagonists, etc.
1. Xanthine Medications
Under a doctor's guidance, patients may use xanthine drugs such as aminophylline tablets, doxofylline tablets, and dyphylline tablets to promote bronchial dilation and relieve symptoms like chest tightness and shortness of breath.
2. Corticosteroids
As directed by a physician, corticosteroid medications such as budesonide/formoterol powder for inhalation, salmeterol/fluticasone inhaler, and budesonide suspension can be used to relieve bronchospasm and reduce inflammation of the bronchial mucosa.
3. Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists
Drugs such as montelukast sodium tablets, zafirlukast tablets, and pranlukast capsules—leukotriene receptor antagonists—may also be chosen to inhibit bronchoconstriction and reduce airway mucosal edema and allergic reactions.
In addition, β2 receptor agonists may be selected to relax the bronchi and alleviate airway spasms.
