Currently, there are no medications that can guarantee a complete cure for urticaria. However, with proper treatment and long-term management, symptoms can be effectively controlled and recurrence reduced. It is recommended to choose a suitable medication regimen under the guidance of a doctor, based on your specific condition.
Treatment typically includes the following aspects:
1. Medication during acute flare-ups: Commonly used antihistamines, such as cetirizine and loratadine, can quickly relieve itching and wheals. If symptoms are severe, doctors may prescribe other types of medications for a short period.
2. Chronic management medication: For cases of recurrent flare-ups, doctors may adjust the medication regimen, such as changing the type of medication, using combination therapy, or long-term low-dose maintenance to stabilize the condition.
3. Treatment of triggering factors: Some cases of urticaria are related to allergies, infections, or autoimmune diseases. Treatment should simultaneously identify and address the relevant triggering factors, such as avoiding specific allergens and treating infections.
It is recommended that you keep a record of your diet, environment, and physical condition during flare-ups to help identify possible triggers; strictly follow your doctor's instructions regarding medication, and do not increase or decrease the dosage on your own; if conventional medications are ineffective, you should promptly return to your doctor for evaluation and adjustment of the treatment plan. Patience and close cooperation with your doctor are key to controlling the condition.
