How to treat chronic urticaria? Does it have a big impact on your health?

Causes of urticaria:

1. Drugs

2. Food and food additives

3. Inhaled substances (pollen, etc.) )

4. Infection

5. Insect bites

6. Physical and chemical factors (exposed to heat)

7. Mental factors and endocrine changes

8. Internal diseases

9. Genetic factors

In most cases, chronic urticaria can be solved by taking some anti-allergy medicine. Got the situation under control. But it is easy to relapse, which is a characteristic of urticaria. But if you don’t eat, it will come back immediately. If the cause cannot be found, the urticaria will really come back again and again. Taking medicine for a long time is likely to be harmful to the body, as medicine is three-thirds of the poison, so especially the elderly and infirm, who have some chronic diseases themselves, cannot do without medicine. If you suffer from urticaria, you will have to add a lot of pain. Medicine, which adds a lot of burden. Therefore, you should find the allergen as soon as possible, and then perform desensitization treatment in the shortest time and with the least amount of medicine.

Because urticaria is mostly caused by allergic factors, which means there are allergic factors in your body. All hospitals can use traditional methods to check allergens. The most typical one is whether you are allergic to penicillin. We can do a penicillin skin test to see if there is a local reaction. There are also scratch tests, etc., and patch tests, which are mainly suitable for cosmetic allergies. There are also provocation experiments, which cover many departments, including stimulation of the ear, nose and throat mucosa, and many dermatology stimulations. There are also in vitro experiments. We talk about in vivo experiments that require contact with the human body to see the reaction of the human body after contact with allergens. In this case, it is bound to cause a certain amount of pain to the patient. If you accidentally encounter a patient who is allergic to a certain A strong allergy to a substance may cause severe allergies or even sudden shock, so in vivo experiments are risky. In vitro experiments mean that we draw some blood from the patient, and then leave the human body outside the body to detect allergens. This detection method is relatively easy, but the results will be available after one day. The main advantage is that it is safer.

In recent years, a new detection method has been introduced from abroad, which is the use of biological vibration to detect allergens. It detects quickly, does not touch the human body, does not draw blood or give injections, and there is no pain for the patient itself. The combination of biological vibration detection and desensitization treatment is the latest method for treating urticaria in major hospitals.

Biological vibration test costs 400 yuan per time. Desensitization is 50 yuan per session. But this is mainly related to the condition. If your condition is relatively mild and the allergen is relatively single, the course of treatment will be shorter and the cost will be less. Some patients with more serious conditions may need two or three courses of treatment. In this case, the cost It is relatively high, usually around 1,000 yuan from the time of testing to the hospital.

How patients with urticaria can lead a mutually beneficial life

1. Try not to engage in work such as climbing or driving while taking medicine.

2. Pay attention to rest and eat lightly.

3. Keep your spirit happy and your mood comfortable.

4. Prevent colds and strengthen physical exercise.

5. Solar urticaria should be protected from light.

6. Avoid scratching frequently.

7. Do not use overheated water or irritating bath liquids.

8. For thermal urticaria, avoid strenuous exercise and reduce sweating.

9. For cold urticaria, please keep warm.

10. Parents of pediatric patients should pay close attention to changes in their condition.

A small misunderstanding about the treatment of urticaria: the pimples come up quickly and go away quickly. If you have pimples, take medicine. If you can’t afford it, don’t take it. This is also a misunderstanding. Urticaria is a desensitization treatment, just like a cold. Fever is different. The treatment of urticaria must be standardized. The treatment of desensitization is gradual and must be carried out slowly. Therefore, a certain course of treatment must be achieved to consolidate the condition.
