过敏性荨麻疹儿童几天都不好What to do
Disease description:
Summer is here and the weather is very hot. I have an allergic constitution, and if I eat even a small amount of spicy food, I develop rashes. The doctor diagnosed it as urticaria. I would like to know what to do if allergic urticaria in children does not improve for several days?

Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
When allergic urticaria in children persists for several days without improvement, parents may take the following measures:
1. **Seek medical examination**: Timely take the child to the dermatology department of a hospital for professional evaluation. A doctor can determine the specific type and severity of the urticaria and formulate a targeted treatment plan.
2. **Identify allergens**: Cooperate with the doctor to perform allergen testing to identify the specific substances causing the urticaria. Actively avoid exposing the child to these allergens in daily life.
3. **Medication treatment**: Under the guidance of a physician, use antiallergic medications such as loratadine or cetirizine hydrochloride. If symptoms are severe, corticosteroids may be required.
4. **Lifestyle adjustments**: Pay attention to the child's diet and avoid consumption of spicy, greasy, or other irritating foods. Maintain a regular sleep schedule and ensure adequate rest. Encourage appropriate physical activity to enhance immunity.
5. **Ongoing monitoring**: Closely monitor the child's condition during treatment and promptly report any abnormalities to the doctor.
The specific treatment plan should be developed by a qualified physician based on the child's individual condition.
