Children with papular urticaria must pay attention to their diet: they should avoid foods that commonly trigger allergic reactions, as well as spicy or highly irritating foods—such as mutton, beef, seafood (including shellfish and sea fish), and chili peppers. Additionally, proper hygiene measures should be implemented for the child; skin should be kept clean and dry, and exposure to potential allergens should be avoided.
