What should I do if I am allergic to rheumatoid plaster?

When joint pain occurs, it may be due to rheumatism. Sometimes many people like to use some rheumatoid plasters for treatment. If you are not careful when applying the rheumatoid plaster, it may cause allergies. There are many reasons for allergies, such as allergic constitution, or the plaster is not suitable for the disease, etc. At this time, you must first find out the allergens. If an allergy occurs, you should stop using it immediately and use other methods to treat it.

What should I do if I am allergic to rheumatoid plaster?

1. Find out the allergens first.

Allergies when applying a plaster may be caused by the plaster or other allergens. If it is caused by other allergens, but you arbitrarily think it is an allergy to the plaster, then you will not take measures to eliminate the real allergens, and even if you take treatment measures, you will still be allergic. Based on your past allergy history, confirm whether there are any past allergens around you.

2. If you are allergic to plaster, stop using it first

After stopping use, observe the allergic reaction and determine whether it is an allergy to the plaster. If the allergic symptoms disappear quickly after discontinuation of use and treatment is given, it can be determined that the allergy is caused by the plaster. If you stop using the plaster and start treatment, but the allergic symptoms do not change at all, it can be determined that there must be other allergens.

3. Check adverse reactions and their treatment methods

Pharmaceutical manufacturers often know how to deal with some of the side effects of their own drugs. Therefore, after determining that the allergy is to the plaster, it is best to find the outer packaging of the plaster to check the adverse reactions and how to deal with them. If the outer packaging does not give the adverse reactions and how to deal with them, you can contact the plaster distributor or manufacturer to see if they have any solutions.

4. Take specific treatment measures

If it is a severe respiratory allergy, digestive tract allergy, or neurasthenia, specific treatment measures are often required based on the ingredients of the plaster. In this case, it is necessary to contact the manufacturer in time and ask them to provide the ingredients of the plaster so that the doctor can take accurate treatment measures. For those unpackaged plasters bought from street stalls, it is best to ask the seller about the treatment methods and ingredients.

After discovering an allergic reaction to the plaster, especially a severe allergy, be sure to keep the outer packaging of the used plaster, unused plasters, purchase invoices, etc. During the communication with dealers and manufacturers, it is best to quietly record it in order to facilitate future claims.
