Doctor's answer:
Hello, urticaria is caused by skin allergies. It can be treated with oral cetirizine, cimetidine, and vitamin C, as well as topical calamine lotion or cetirizine cream. Avoid spicy foods and alcohol, and maintain good hygiene. If it recurs frequently, it is best to go to the hospital for an allergen test to determine what substances you are allergic to, and desensitization therapy can also be used.There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
