How to treat cholestatic urticaria effectively?

The occurrence of cholestatic urticaria will have a great impact on patients. Therefore, patients must pay attention to a correct and healthy diet, avoid seafood and other foods that are prone to allergies, and also need to pay attention to hygiene and keep the living environment clean and ventilated.

1. Pay attention to your diet

Avoid triggers. The onset of urticaria has a certain relationship with diet, and certain foods may be triggers. For example, fish, shrimp and seafood, canned food, pickled food, beverages containing artificial colors, preservatives, yeast and other artificial additives can induce urticaria. In addition, irritating foods such as overly sour and spicy foods will also reduce the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract, causing food residues to stay in the intestines for too long, thereby producing peptones and polypeptides, increasing the chance of human allergies.

2. Pay attention to hygiene

Avoid adverse stimuli. People with a history of urticaria should pay attention to keeping indoor and outdoor areas clean and hygienic, and keep fewer pets such as cats and dogs at home. Avoid inhaling pollen, dust, etc. You should avoid wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, insects and poisons at times. Adapt life patterns to changes in the external environment. Drinking, heat, emotional excitement, exertion, etc. will aggravate the dilation of blood vessels in the skin, triggering or aggravating urticaria. Rubber gloves, hair dyes, perfumed soaps and detergents, chemical fiber and wool clothing, etc. may become adverse irritations for people with allergies or urticaria and should be avoided. People suffering from cold urticaria should not go to the beach or take cold baths, and should keep warm in winter. Patients with cholestatic urticaria should keep their body cool and avoid sweating.

3. Pay attention to drug factors

In clinical practice, some drugs can cause urticaria, such as antibiotics such as penicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides, polymyxin, antipyretic analgesics such as phenacetin and aspirin, etc. Some Chinese patent medicines such as Ganmaoqing and Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets can also cause allergies and trigger the occurrence of urticaria. When you are taking multiple medications and suspect that urticaria is caused by one of the drugs, the simplest and most effective way is to stop taking the medication immediately.
