Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the improvement of tracheal granuloma after herbal medicine treatment.Methods: A patient with tracheal granuloma was treated with &lt;i&gt;Sipyukmiyuki-eum&lt;/i&gt;, and we checked laryngoscopy images to observe the improvement of this condition.Results: After treatment with &lt;i&gt;Sipyukmiyuki-eum&lt;/i&gt; and Korean medicine therapy, we found that tracheal granuloma showed improvements in the laryngoscopy image.Conclusion: This case suggests that &lt;i&gt;Sipyukmiyuki-eum&lt;/i&gt; might be effective for patients who develop tracheal granuloma after tracheostomy. However, additional studies with more patients are required to verify this finding.
