How to treat urticaria in pregnant women

For pregnant women, they should always be careful to prevent many minor illnesses. For example, urticaria. Urticaria is a disease that everyone can suffer from if they are not careful. Generally speaking, its main symptoms are lumps, a pricking sensation, partial redness and swelling, unbearable itching, and sometimes even bleeding and pain when touched. So how should pregnant women who suffer from urticaria be treated?

1. Use medication with caution

Pregnant women have a special physique, so they should avoid taking medication if possible, because medication will more or less affect the development of the fetus in the pregnant woman's womb. Pregnant women should be more cautious when using medication after suffering from urticaria. Most urticaria is caused by allergies, and most drugs used to treat urticaria contain anti-allergic ingredients, which can affect the development of the fetus. However, if the symptoms of urticaria are more severe, pregnant women still need to use medication for treatment. Otherwise, not only will the pregnant woman feel uncomfortable and unable to get a good rest, but it will also affect the fetus. When pregnant women use urticaria medications, they should follow the doctor's advice, take some vitamin C and calcium preparations orally, and apply some anti-itching ointments externally. Pregnant women are usually not allowed to use antihistamines to treat urticaria.

2. Stay away from allergens

Urticaria is mostly caused by allergies. After a pregnant woman suffers from urticaria, if the exact allergens can be found, she should stay away from these allergens to avoid further contact and aggravation of the symptoms of urticaria. If the irritants are plant-based, such as pollen or hemp, then you should stay away from these plants. If the irritation is caused by eating fish or shrimp, then you should not eat them, or cook them thoroughly before eating. Some pregnant women have allergies, so they should avoid contact with clothing fabrics, skin care products and food that are prone to allergies.

3. Safety remedies

Usually, if the symptoms of urticaria are not particularly severe and the condition is still under control, it is not recommended for pregnant women to use medication for treatment. It is generally recommended to use some safe folk remedies to alleviate the condition. Applying pakchoy externally is a relatively safe folk remedy that can relieve itching. Pregnant women with urticaria can find an appropriate amount of Chinese cabbage, wash off the mud and sand, shake off the water, take 3-5 leaves each time and rub them on the area where urticaria appears. This will feel very cool and achieve the effect of relieving itching and pain. Use it once in the morning and once in the evening every day. Generally, you can see the effect after three uses.
