Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am reaching out on behalf of my mom, who is 48 years old. Ten years back, she experienced chronic urticaria, which was successfully treated with a course of tablets. Unfortunately, the symptoms have resurfaced, and despite taking tablets for the past month, the condition persists. Her face is swelling. How do we treat this? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Navigating chronic urticaria can be challenging. I would suggest your mother to engage in a conversation about her symptoms with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance. Additional tests or treatments may be advised based on her specific condition.

Meanwhile, here are some home remedies that might offer relief:

  1. Identify and avoid triggers: Encourage her to identify potential triggers, such as certain foods, stress, or environmental factors, and make efforts to avoid them.
  2. Cold compresses: Applying cold water to affected areas can help alleviate swelling and provide relief from pain.
  3. Antihistamines: Temporary relief from pain may be achieved through the use of antihistamines or calamine tablets, as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
  4. Avoid scratching: It is important to resist the urge to scratch, as scratching can exacerbate symptoms.

These suggestions are general in nature, and the specifics of her case should be discussed with a healthcare professional. I hope you find this information helpful.

Take care.
