1) A stent can be placed to cover the hole and begin the healing process. However if the patient is on a ventilator, the healing will be interrupted due to the air pressure.
2) If the hole does not show signs of healing, the trachea has to be reconstructed - plastic surgery.
My mom is in this position and we are praying that the hole heals without surgery.

What can you do to open up your throat passage quick?
If your throat has closed up because of an allergic reaction, the remedy is to use an epi-pen, an injector of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline). If you have a serious allergy which could cause such a reaction, then you should always have an epi-pen with you. If your throat passage is blocked for some other reason, there are other remedies.
