The main goals of treating acute urticaria are to control symptoms and reduce recurrence. Proper management can often effectively reduce the number of attacks. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and undergo comprehensive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
1. **Seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause:** Urticaria can be caused by a variety of factors such as allergies and infections. Doctors will help determine the trigger and prescribe anti-allergy medications to relieve itching and wheals.
2. **Adhere to prescribed medication regimen:** Use medication as directed by your doctor, and do not stop taking it even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence. Never purchase potent medications on your own.
3. **Record and avoid triggers**: Pay attention to the food, environment, or activities you were exposed to before the attack. Try keeping a daily diary, which can help identify and reduce exposure to potential triggers.
4. **Maintain healthy lifestyle habits:** Appropriate exercise, regular sleep patterns, and stress relief can help maintain a stable immune system and reduce the frequency of attacks.
In daily life, wear loose-fitting cotton clothing to avoid overheating and scratching. If symptoms suddenly worsen or are accompanied by breathing difficulties, seek medical attention immediately. With patient management and guidance from a doctor, most people's symptoms can be controlled long-term.
