“Red and swollen skin”, “itching all over the body”, “attacks without taking medicine” – this is the experience of many urticaria patients. The causative factors of urticaria are multifaceted: not only caused by drug and dietary allergies, but also caused by immune system disorders caused by viral infection and bacterial invasion, and even a certain negative mental state can also cause urticaria. Become the "culprit" of urticaria; secondly, if the cause is uncertain and they pursue "immediate" treatment effect, they rely on taking medicine to relieve itching, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. The condition is inevitably capricious and difficult to control, which will affect the patient's normal life for a long time.

What are the dangers of urticaria?

First of all, it seriously affects the patient's quality of life. If the onset of urticaria is not resolved in time, it can last for months or even years. The itching worsens in the morning or before going to bed, affecting the normal life of urticaria patients. and mental state. At the same time, it can also induce other diseases. For example, patients will suffer from nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other diseases, which mainly refers to gastrointestinal dysfunction, which can cause the onset of ulcerative colitis.

The cure for urticaria

1. Develop good living habits

Most chronic diseases are caused by unhealthy and unreasonable living habits. There is no shortcut to cure urticaria. Developing good living habits and enhancing personal physical fitness are the only way to go from reducing allergies to saying goodbye to the disease. Good living habits, in addition to regular work and rest, maintaining a light diet, increasing physical exercise and actively staying away from allergens, should also avoid irritation to the skin in daily life, including vigorous scratching of the affected area, scalding with hot water, and abuse of irritating topical drugs wait.

2. Adjusting allergic constitution is the key

If you want to cure urticaria, adjusting allergic constitution is the foundation of treatment. Supplementing Xinminkang anti-allergic probiotics can adjust allergic constitution. This new strain of lactic acid bacteria can regulate the balance of immunoglobulins by stimulating the secretion of interferon, quickly relieve symptoms such as skin itching, fundamentally regulate the body's immune function, and inhibit allergic reactions. Adjust allergic constitution and ultimately reduce the recurrence of urticaria.

How to treat urticaria?

"Chinese Internal Medicine" (Chapter on Immune System Diseases): The pathogenesis of urticaria is relatively complex, mainly caused by immune and inflammatory mechanisms, that is, idiopathic. Cutaneous edematous wheals occur either in IgE-dependent or complement system-mediated immune processes, whereas non-immune urticaria is often thought to be caused directly by mast cell releasing agents. The pathogenesis of urticaria is generally related to autoimmunity, often related to anti-IgE autoantibodies and anti-FcEI autoantibodies. The onset of urticaria has received increasing attention from clinical research.

The causes of chronic urticaria are complex. Like other allergic diseases, if the allergen is identified, contact with the allergen should be avoided during treatment. At present, oral antihistamine drugs are mostly used in clinical practice, and corticosteroid drugs are mostly used for temporary suppression, such as oral western medicine, oral hormones, topical emulsions, ointments, etc. Long-term or high-dose use of topical steroids can lead to drug dependence. Once the medication is stopped, urticaria will reoccur and be more severe than before.

In recent years, through research on allergic diseases and IgE-mediated allergy, medical experts have begun to intervene in anti-IgE antibody immunotherapy in chronic allergic diseases such as chronic urticaria. The anti-allergic probiotic Xinminkang can participate in IgE-mediated immune allergy. By measuring the Th1 immune ability of human dendritic cells co-cultured with anti-allergic probiotics, the secretion of interleukin (IL-12) is regulated. function, thereby screening out anti-allergic probiotic strains with anti-allergic capabilities. Xinminkang anti-allergic probiotics can use active, non-pathogenic microorganisms to improve the ecological balance of intestinal microorganisms, the largest immune organ of the human body, thereby promoting immune tolerance function. Continuous supplementation for more than three months can increase the IgE in the body. The concentration is reduced, so that the allergen cannot bind to the IgE antibody in the body, so that the series of allergic biochemical reactions no longer occur.

Remember to do these 4 points during the treatment of urticaria

1. The treatment process should be active

For the treatment of urticaria, we must actively find the cause and treat it Potential diseases, avoid triggers. For urticaria caused by allergens, skin allergen tests also have false negative and false positive results. Therefore, patients must be instructed to keep an allergy diary, and at the same time, anti-allergic treatment is carried out according to the course of treatment, and the allergic constitution is adjusted.

2. Pay attention to various allergic symptoms

In clinical practice, some drugs can cause urticaria, such as penicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides, and more. Antibiotics such as myxomycin, antipyretics and analgesics such as metamizole and aspirin, etc.

3. Pay attention to your diet

The onset of urticaria is related to your diet, and certain foods may be triggers. For example, fish, shrimp, seafood, canned foods, pickled foods, and beverages containing artificial colors, preservatives, yeast and other artificial additives can all induce chronic urticaria. In addition, patients prone to chronic urticaria should not eat foods containing irritating gases, spicy, cold, and seafood.

4. Keep the living environment hygienic

Clean the home frequently, keep the room clean, dry, and ventilated to reduce the breeding of mites and dust accumulation. Households that grow flowers should pay attention to the spread of pollen. , avoid inhalation.
