The primary medical therapy used to treat<unk>  depends on the severity of the case. For mild<unk> , glucocorticoid therapy is primarily used to alleviate symptoms by reducing tracheal swelling and inflammation. The main corticosteroids used are dexamethasone and/or budesonide, administered orally or, rarely, via a parenteral method. These are usually effective beginning 6 hours post-treatment. For moderate and severe<unk> , epinephrine is used in conjunction with glucocorticoids. The primary epinephrine therapies used are racemic epinephrine or L-epinephrine, both in nebulized form. Epinephrine alleviates symptoms within 10-30 minutes, but they usually return within 2 hours, requiring repeated dosing for long-term relief. Hospitalization is rarely required and is primarily used for observation and symptom management in children. Intubation is a rare necessary treatment for hospitalized children with the most severe<unk>  cases.
