Treatment strategy

Treatment is based on the cause. If the cause cannot be found, the condition can be controlled through medication.

Symptomatic treatment

Drugs that reduce vascular permeability, such as vitamin C, vitamin P, calcium supplements, etc., are often used in combination with antihistamines. If it is caused by infectious factors, appropriate antibiotics can be used for treatment.

Drug treatment

Commonly used drugs are: 1. Antihistamines: ① H receptor antagonists: They have good effects in treating all types of urticaria. ② Doxepin: It is a tricyclic antidepressant, especially effective for chronic urticaria. 2. Glucocorticoids: The second-line medication for the treatment of urticaria, generally used when severe acute urticaria, urticarial vasculitis, and pressure urticaria are ineffective with antihistamines. 3. Immunosuppressants: They can be used when patients with chronic urticaria have an autoimmune basis, the disease recurs, and other treatments cannot achieve satisfactory results.

Prognosis

Most patients can recover on their own.
