What is the treatment for chronic urticaria in children?

Chronic urticaria in children is mainly characterized by symptoms such as swelling or tissue edema in the skin, mucous membranes, blood vessels and other parts of the child. The course of the disease is relatively long, often lasting more than six weeks, and there will also be large areas of wheals on the patient's limbs. So how can it be treated?

Chronic urticaria lasts for a long time. Due to the constant changes in the child's physical condition, allergic urticaria will show different symptoms during the onset of the disease:

1. Internal medication: There are many types of antihistamines, which should be selected based on the condition and clinical manifestations. Drugs such as reserpine and anloxin are used to treat chronic urticaria. Some people use steroid hormone injections every 3 to 4 weeks to treat chronic urticaria.

2. Local medication: Calamine lotion or zinc oxide lotion can achieve temporary therapeutic effects.

3. For chronic cases, blockade therapy, autohemotherapy, acupuncture therapy, oxygen therapy, tissue therapy, and sweating and detoxification methods can be tried.

Home Care

In addition to medication, home care is also very important in treating chronic urticaria. Parents need to:

1. Let your child rest more and avoid being tired. When appropriate, encourage your child to do moderate exercise.

2. Let your children eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins or take vitamin C and B complex, or B6 in the B complex.

3. Avoid eating foods containing artificial additives and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Fried, deep-fried or spicy foods are more likely to cause recurrence of urticaria.

4. Let your children eat more alkaline foods such as: grapes, green tea, kelp, tomatoes, sesame seeds, cucumbers, carrots, bananas, apples, oranges, mung beans, coix seeds, etc.

5. Do not let your child scratch the affected area, so as to prevent the temperature of the affected area from increasing due to local scratching, causing the blood to release more histamine (allergens), and worsening the condition.
