The treatment of allergic tracheitis mainly relies on anti-allergic medications and symptomatic relief drugs; the following are recommendations:

Allergic tracheitis is often triggered by allergens and should be primarily managed with anti-allergy therapy combined with symptomatic treatment. Commonly used anti-allergic drugs include loratadine, cetirizine, etc., which can effectively inhibit allergic reactions and alleviate symptoms. Meanwhile, for symptoms such as cough and sputum production, cough-suppressing and phlegm-resolving medications, such as compound licorice oral solution and Ji Zhi syrup, can be selected.

In addition, inhaled corticosteroids also play an important role in treating allergic tracheitis. For example, budesonide inhalers can effectively control airway inflammation and reduce coughing and wheezing. For patients with severe cough symptoms, combining with bronchodilators such as salbutamol or terbutaline may be considered to relieve airway spasms and improve ventilation function.

During treatment, it is important to identify and avoid contact with allergens to reduce recurrence. At the same time, maintaining good作息 (作息 should be replaced with appropriate English term like "lifestyle") habits and dietary practices, and avoiding spicy or irritating foods, can help with recovery.
