Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
The treatment of chronic food allergies requires a comprehensive approach.
1. Avoiding the consumption of allergenic foods is the most fundamental and effective treatment method.
2. For patients with mild allergic symptoms, general treatment and physical therapy can be used to relieve symptoms, such as changing dietary habits, reducing intake of irritating foods, and using ice compresses or light therapy to improve localized symptoms.
3. If allergic symptoms are severe, antiallergic medications such as cetirizine and loratadine should be used under a doctor's guidance. These medications can effectively alleviate allergic symptoms, but medication safety and contraindications must be carefully considered. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine therapies can also be used as adjunctive treatments to help improve the condition.
