Urticaria has a great influence on the quality of life.
Urticaria is a chronic recurrent allergic disease that can last for months, years or even decades. The most obvious symptom is severe itching, which can obviously affect the study, work and life of patients, and even affect sleep in severe cases. In a study, the effects of urticaria and diabetes on patients' quality of life were compared, and it was found that the effects of urticaria on patients' quality of life were much higher than those of diabetes.
How long will urticaria get better?
Due to individual differences, different people may have different recovery time and how long it takes to get better, but urticaria can also prevent recurrence after recovery.
How should urticaria be handled?
1. Find the cause of allergy.
Ask about the medical history in detail, and carefully ask about the environment, type, quantity, physical and chemical properties, contact time, contact mode and whether there is a similar rash in the past. To analyze the substances that may be related to it from the medical history and provide the basis for skin patch test. Once the cause of allergy is found, try to avoid contact again.
Irritant or toxic substances left on the skin should be washed off as soon as possible, and clean water, normal saline or light soapy water can be used when washing. If the contact substance is strong acid, it can be washed with weak alkaline liquid (such as soda water); If it is a strong alkaline substance, it can be washed with a weak acidic liquid (such as boric acid solution).
Avoid stimulation
When clinical symptoms appear, local irritation should be minimized. Avoid scratches and hot water burns, and avoid strong sunlight or hot air stimulation.
3. Drug therapy
There are many kinds of ointment for external use to treat urticaria, and patients can take the medicine on time according to the doctor's advice. When choosing drugs to treat urticaria, it is best not to choose drugs containing hormones. If hormone drugs are used for a long time, there will be side effects and dependence on drugs.
4. Immune antiallergic therapy
Anyone who has had urticaria knows that although western medicine can treat urticaria in time, it can treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is easy to repeat.
Immunologists say that urticaria is a typical IgE-mediated type, which is caused by degranulation of mast cells mediated by IgE and the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators. The increase of capillary permeability produces air masses. With the development of immunology, aiming at allergic constitution, more and more experts and scholars at home and abroad put forward probiotic immunotherapy, which has achieved good results by supplementing special anti-allergic probiotics for Xinmin Kang, controlling the production of IgE and regulating the balance of immune cells. Allergic probiotic Xinmin Kang can resist pathogenic microorganisms in the intestinal tract, improve the intestinal environment, enhance the self-resistance of mucosa and skin, directly resist the source of immune IgE by reducing excessive IgE sensitizing antibodies in serum, and then control the occurrence of immune allergic reaction, effectively assist immune B cells to regulate the defense function of human body, so that human body can recover its inherent cognition, thus avoiding allergies, and effectively reducing the recurrence of urticaria and other allergic diseases.
For patients with urticaria or other allergic diseases, regular use of probiotics can, on the one hand, promote the secretion of IFN-γ by spleen cells and reduce the production of specific IgE antibodies in serum, thus alleviating and controlling allergic symptoms such as urticaria; On the other hand, it can effectively regulate the balance of TH 1\TH2 immune cells, change allergic constitution and correct wrong immune response, thus preventing urticaria, eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic cough, allergic asthma and allergic conjunctivitis.
