You can take anti-allergic drugs on multiple parts of the body. Sometimes nothing is cured, and it will be better after a while. I want to know how to prevent this Skin disease?”
According to Bao Ma’s description, the child’s skin disease is more likely to be urticaria. Urticaria is a skin allergic disease. The main body encounters sensitizers, which causes the small blood vessels of the skin or mucous membranes to expand and increase permeability, resulting in red edema-like symptoms in the raised rash. There are cold, hot Type, daylight type, water source type, pressure type, skin scratch type, etc.
Has your baby also experienced this symptom? If so, follow me to learn about urticaria, a common skin disease in children. The notice is here. After studying this popular science, you can master the following 3 knowledge points: Which substances are likely to cause urticaria? What are the typical symptoms of urticaria? How to effectively prevent and treat urticaria?
1. Which substances are likely to cause urticaria?
In fact, although urticaria is a relatively common skin disease, the process of finding the cause is still relatively difficult, because three-quarters of people have urticaria and cannot find the cause. However, the following factors are indeed prone to urticaria:
is firstly drugs, such as antibiotics, antipyretics, serums, vaccines; secondly, food or additives, such as eggs, fish, shrimp, crab, milk, food flavoring and preservatives , Yeast and citric acid in food. Then there are inhalable substances such as pollen, animal fur, feathers, fungal spores, dust mites, and formaldehyde. There are viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, and Helicobacter pylori. The last is cold and heat, sunlight, mental stress, mood swings, and endocrine changes.
PS: If you always have this kind of rash, Pharmacist Mei suggests that Baoma should take the child to the hospital for treatment, because a small number of children may be rheumatic fever, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid disease, lymphoma, leukemia, infectious mononucleus Cytosis.
2. What are the typical symptoms of urticaria?
Urticaria is relatively easy to judge. There is a pattern of urticaria, that is, before the onset, the skin usually has symptoms of itching first, and then a raised "wind ball"-like rash appears. The rash is usually bright red, Pale or original skin color, a small number of children will show edema-like erythema. Sometimes the erythema is connected to each other.
Urticaria is different from other rashes. It comes quickly and goes quickly. Generally, there are more attacks in the evening. Usually lasts only a few minutes, and some will last a few hours, but not more than 24 hours. This red patch of urticaria can go away on its own without leaving any traces. In addition to the uncomfortable symptoms of
urticaria, a small number of children will also experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or diarrhea. Some may also experience blockage of the throat, chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, and even suffocation. Of course, some children have edema on the hands, feet, eyelids and entire face.
3. How to effectively prevent and treat urticaria?
According to the above-mentioned types of urticaria and common factors that cause urticaria, find the possible causes of urticaria, and let children try to avoid contact with these things. In addition, for chronic urticaria (with a course of more than 6 weeks), if it is prone to wind mass rash in the morning, then give a large dose of oral anti-allergic drugs before going to bed. If it is like wind mass rash before going to bed, Then give a large dose of oral anti-allergic drugs after dinner.
treatment of urticaria is mainly oral anti-allergic drugs. There are two types of anti-allergic drugs. One has good therapeutic effect but has large side effects of drowsiness, such as chlorpheniramine; the other has small side effects but has less therapeutic effect than chlorpheniramine, such as cetirizine and lorata. He decided. Of course, for more serious urticaria, such as breathing difficulties, you also need to inject epinephrine and hormones. For refractory urticaria, the two types of oral antiallergic drugs can be taken at the same time, or combined with cimetidine or ranitidine.
