To treat the itching caused by urticaria, antihistamines can usually be used under the guidance of a doctor to relieve symptoms. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly so that a doctor can prescribe appropriate medication based on your specific situation.
Specific medication usage can be understood in the following ways:
1. Commonly used oral medications: such as cetirizine and loratadine. These medications can help relieve itching and wheals. They are usually taken once a day and are relatively convenient to use.
2. Topical medication as an adjunct: Under the guidance of a doctor, topical antipruritic products such as calamine lotion can be used in conjunction with topical medications. These can be applied to the skin surface to temporarily relieve local itching.
3. Special circumstances: If symptoms are recurrent or severe, the doctor may adjust the medication regimen, such as changing the type of medication or considering combination therapy. Do not increase or decrease the dosage on your own.
In daily life, keep a record of factors that may trigger urticaria, such as food and environment, and try to avoid them. Wear loose cotton clothing to reduce skin friction, and avoid using excessively hot water when bathing. If symptoms do not improve or worsen after medication, please follow up with your doctor promptly so that they can adjust your treatment plan.
