Urticaria is a relatively common skin disease, and it usually does not cause great harm to the patient and is not contagious. However, it will cause severe itching during an attack, which will not only affect the patient's mood, but also make it impossible for the patient to socialize and work normally. Therefore, patients with urticaria still need to do a good job of nursing.
How to care for urticaria?
1, seek medical treatment in time
Although urticaria is not very harmful, it does not mean that this skin disease does not require treatment. If acute urticaria patients do not receive timely treatment, it may change to chronic urticaria , the number of attacks will be significantly increased, and the difficulty of treatment will also increase. Therefore, patients with urticaria should seek medical treatment in time when the disease occurs and take relevant drugs as directed by the doctor.
2. Find the cause
The pathogenic factors of urticaria are quite complicated. If the factors are uncertain, it may lead to multiple attacks. Therefore, after the first attack, we should actively look for pathogenic factors, such as infection or allergies. Patients who have an infection caused the disease should be treated for the infection. Patients who have an allergic attack caused the disease should find the allergen through the help of a doctor.
3. Care for the skin
When urticaria occurs, you cannot use hot water to scald it, as it will cause irritation to the skin and make the condition worse. It is recommended to consult a doctor to take care of the skin correctly, such as cleaning the skin before applying medicine, wearing loose and breathable clothes, etc., to avoid severe discomfort caused by friction.
4. Maintain good mood
Because urticaria will cause severe itching infection, many patients will experience emotional changes, such as being particularly prone to tantrums. This emotion is not beneficial to the treatment and recovery of the disease. Therefore, you must learn to adjust your emotions, such as by diverting your attention.
5. Pay attention to diet
The diet of patients should be lighter, because most patients cause the disease to recur due to allergies. Therefore, try to eat less foods that may cause allergies, such as chili peppers, seafood, etc., and try to add less seasonings and additives when cooking food.
Warm reminder
Although the harm of urticaria is not strong, it will have adverse effects on appearance, mood and normal social interaction. Therefore, patients should do a good job in nursing . First, they must follow the doctor's arrangements and use relevant drugs. Secondly, they must find pathogenic factors and carry out targeted prevention. In addition, they must do a good job in skin care and maintain a good mood. In terms of diet, they should be lighter, which can not only restore health faster, but also avoid adverse effects on quality of life.
