The choice of medication for treating urticaria depends on the specific situation. Antihistamines and topical medications are usually used under the guidance of a doctor. The following points explain common situations:
1. **Mild symptoms:** If the rash is small and the itching is mild, you can try using calamine lotion to relieve the discomfort, while avoiding scratching.
2. **Recurring attacks:** For frequent wheals, doctors often recommend oral antihistamines, such as loratadine or cetirizine, which can help control allergic reactions.
3. **Special Circumstances:** If accompanied by difficulty breathing or swelling, seek immediate medical attention. Emergency treatment may require additional prescription medications.
In daily life, it is recommended to keep a record of your diet and environmental exposures, which can help identify triggers; avoid alcohol while taking medication and adjust the dosage as prescribed by your doctor. If symptoms do not improve, please consult a professional doctor for individualized treatment.
