Steroids in the short term. Then a disease modtfying drug such as methotrexate
Relapsing Polychondritis does not have a cure but it can often be well controlled with medication.
Disease-modifying anti rheumatic drugs like Methotrexate and Prednisolone (Corticosteroids) are often given to suppress the immune system. For milder cases of the condition, non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers may be prescribed.
Where the airways are involved, surgery may be required to repair the windpipe (trachea) or stenting to keep the airway open.

Out of my own experience biologics have helped a lot but still sometimes cortizone is a must. Many other meds can be used in combination.

High dose prednisone during a flare. Methotrexate, cyclophosphamide

In the beginning I believe it's a good idea to try ibuprofen & other NSAIDS then if that does not help decrease symptoms, most likely moving on to steroids as usually destruction is occurring throughout the body & needs to get under control.

So far for me nothing has worked like Prednisone.

Prednisone and methotrexate
Posted Jun 12, 2019 by Tmrcarlson 3550
Methotrexate, imuran, cellcept, humira, remicade, Rituximab, cytoxan are some of the most common. Also anti inflammatory medication like Celebrex, colchicine, mobic etc
Prednisone is commonly used for relapsing polychondritis and for most assists in controlling flares in high doses. Some remain on a maintenance dose in combination with other drugs as above and at times increase dosages to control flares.
