Question
Hello doctor,
My mother has been suffering from urticaria for nearly ten years, every time she wears a blazer, she gets better even though she is only at home without touching the wind, she went to many places to see a doctor. The drug only lasted for a while and then relapsed. Please ask the doctor how to treat persistent urticaria? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How does the treatment of urticaria last? , the doctor answered as follows:
Urticaria can be caused by many causes, in summary, there are 5 main groups of causes: common causes (food, contact, drugs), infection (regional infection) pharynx, parasites, fungi,...), physical (motion, compression, temperature, light, changes in water source,...), systemic diseases (hyperthyroidism, diabetes, lupus, vasculitis, cancer), genetics. In some cases, it is difficult to identify the allergen, for example a food that does not cause an allergy but when combined with another food causes an allergic reaction.
With your mother's condition, do not know the location of the urticaria and have other symptoms such as: wheezing, fever, enlarged lymph nodes, urticaria lasting > 48 hours? Treatment of urticaria is to find the cause and relieve the symptoms (with antihistamines). Does your mother suspect that she belongs to any of the above groups of causes, has she been treated and done any tests to find the cause? Identifying the cause is the best way to prevent this from happening again. The doctor will directly examine and order some more tests, as well as adjust the appropriate treatment regimen for your mother's condition.
If you still have questions about the long-term treatment of urticaria, you can go to a medical facility of Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
