What to do if you have hives

Urticaria is a common allergic disease of the skin and mucous membranes, which is characterized by the appearance of itchy masses on the skin, which appear and recede suddenly without leaving any traces, and can be solved by both systemic medication and local treatment. 1. Systemic medication (1) Antihistamines: eliminate the rash by inhibiting the allergic reaction, usually chlorpheniramine maleate, cyproheptadine, phenylephrine or cetirizine, loratadine tablets can be used. (2) For patients with acute exacerbation of urticaria, adrenocorticotropic hormone (betamethasone tablets, dexamethasone, etc.), sympathomimetic drugs (ephedrine, epinephrine, etc.), and vitamins can be used. (3) Others: improve the symptoms by improving the body’s own ability to resist disease, such as histamine globulin and peptidase can treat chronic urticaria. 2.Local treatment. Topical anti-itch lotion such as glycerine lotion and benadryl cream. It is necessary to use the medicine under the guidance of the doctor, not to use without authorization.
