Chronic urticaria caused by blood heat is a disease requiring comprehensive treatment. The core of treating chronic urticaria caused by blood heat lies in regulating the blood heat state in the body while controlling the symptoms of chronic urticaria. This usually includes traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, dietary control, and medication when necessary. Regulating the blood heat state is mainly achieved through traditional Chinese medicine, such as using herbs with heat-clearing, detoxifying, and blood-cooling effects, like Danshen and Chishao, to help regulate the blood heat state in the body. Simultaneously, controlling the symptoms of chronic urticaria requires avoiding foods and environmental factors that may trigger allergic reactions, such as seafood and nuts, and avoiding contact with environmental factors that may trigger allergies, such as pollen and dust mites. For some patients with more severe symptoms, antihistamines may also be needed to control the symptoms, such as over-the-counter antihistamines like cetirizine and loratadine.
There are some potential risks and misconceptions that may arise during the treatment of chronic urticaria caused by blood heat. Side effects from medications may occur, such as drowsiness and dry mouth caused by antihistamines. Some patients may mistakenly believe that dietary control alone can completely cure chronic urticaria, neglecting the importance of medication. Poor treatment adherence may occur, such as not taking medication on time or not adhering to treatment, which can affect the treatment outcome. During treatment, patients need to closely monitor changes in their symptoms and communicate with their doctor promptly to adjust the treatment plan.
[Management Tip:]
1. Regularly monitor for hemorrhagic fever and urticaria symptoms.
2. Adjust your eating habits and avoid foods that may trigger allergies.
3. Seek medical attention promptly if severe symptoms occur.
