The treatment methods for tracheitis mainly include the following aspects: 1. **Medication therapy**: Depending on the symptoms, medications such as cough suppressants and expectorants (e.g., ambroxol hydrochloride), anti-asthmatic drugs (e.g., salbutamol, terbutaline), and anti-infective agents (e.g., cefalexin, azithromycin) may be used. For pediatric patients, traditional Chinese medicines with heat-clearing and detoxifying effects or nebulizer therapy may also be considered. 2. **General care**: Maintain adequate hydration, follow a light diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Additionally, take proper保暖measures to prevent further exposure to cold. 3. **Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy**: Comprehensive TCM treatments such as acupoint application, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping may be used to relieve symptoms. 4. **Oxygen therapy**: For patients experiencing difficulty breathing, oxygen inhalation can be provided to ensure adequate oxygen levels in the body.
