In summer, the whole body often itches, and the weather is particularly hot, just like being bitten by a mosquito. Excuse me, what's going on and how to solve it?

Urticaria is not only a frequently-occurring disease in adults, but also a frequently-occurring and common disease in children. The characteristics of urticaria are mostly caused by allergic reactions. The most common suspicious reasons are food first, followed by infection. The cause of urticaria varies with age and diet. For example, infants are mainly fed with breast milk, milk and dairy products, and the cause of urticaria is mostly related to dairy additives. With the growth of age, infants and young children began to increase complementary food. At this time, eggs, loose meat, fish floss, fruit juice, vegetables and fruits can all become allergic causes. Preschool and school-age children often like to eat snacks. There are many kinds of snacks and dinner foods, so the probability of food allergy increases, such as nuts, fish, crabs, shrimps, peanuts, all kinds of cold drinks, drinks, chocolates and so on.

Can urticaria be contagious? Patients' families don't have to worry. Urticaria is not contagious. The symptom of getting up early is itchy skin, followed by flat air mass above the skin. Some are white, some are red, and more and more, with different shapes and sizes. The wind mass gradually spreads, which can be connected into pieces, confined to a certain part or spread all over the body. With itching, it gets worse at night, but the boundaries are clear.

Mr. Huang from Zhangzhou, Fujian has been suffering from urticaria for several years. His symptoms used to be mild, but they became more serious last spring. He is also taking cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, and it itches if he doesn't take them. His arms and legs are covered with red pimples, which hurts like hell.

It is understood that at present, western medicine has no specific treatment for urticaria, and most of them are oral antihistamines and corticosteroids, such as oral western medicine, oral hormones, topical solutions and emulsions. Long-term or high-dose topical use of corticosteroids can lead to addiction and drug dependence. The most common thing is that the condition gets better after taking the medicine. Once the medicine is stopped, the primary disease of the medication site gets worse. When the hormone is used again, the above situation improves or disappears; If the drug is stopped again, the rebound will recur and be more serious than before.

The symptoms of urticaria are many white rashes with different shapes and sizes on the patient's skin, and severe itching will appear on the affected area, which will disappear automatically within 24 hours after it appears. Because the itching is unbearable, children often have secondary skin infections due to excessive scratching. According to the symptoms of infant urticaria, it is often divided into children's acute urticaria and chronic urticaria. Acute urticaria, a child, began to feel itchy at first, and soon red air masses with different sizes and irregular shapes appeared all over his body, which could be single or densely fused into pieces.

The cause of urticaria is very complicated. If you use traditional control methods and treatments, such as hormones, antihistamines, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc., it will be mild for a while and will be aggravated for a while, which will also have a great impact on children's health. Long-term use will cause greater damage to liver and kidney. Hormone ointment, such as dexamethasone ointment and Fu Relaxation, is generally used for external use. Although they can quickly control skin allergic symptoms, once they are stopped, allergic symptoms will recur. Long-term use of hormone ointment will make the skin lose its normal defense and self-protection ability, and eventually lead to hormone-dependent dermatitis.

At present, the treatment of urticaria mainly includes removing inducing factors, adjusting self-allergic constitution, and supplementing Xinminkang anti-allergic probiotics to improve allergic symptoms, adjust allergic constitution and shorten the treatment cycle of urticaria. Allergic probiotics can improve the body's antiallergic immunity. Clinically, Xinmin Kang antiallergic probiotics, which are composed of Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus Roy, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Streptococcus thermophilus, can improve the intestinal microecology, further promote the development and repair of the immune system, reduce the allergic specific antibody IgE, balance the immune response between Th 1 and Th2, and reduce the recurrence of urticaria. The earlier it is applied, the better the effect will be.
