Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Loratadine is a commonly used antiallergic medication that can indeed be used to treat allergic urticaria. As a second-generation H1 receptor antagonist, this drug can effectively reduce mucosal swelling caused by urticaria, relieve local edema, and eliminate itching symptoms. It is recommended to use loratadine under a doctor's guidance to ensure safe and effective medication. Meanwhile, patients should also focus on improving their own immunity, avoid recurrence, and stay away from allergens as much as possible. If the condition does not improve, it is advisable to seek timely medical examination for more professional treatment.
