What medication can I take to cure my hives?

The first choice for the treatment of urticaria is antihistamines, because in patients with urticaria, the concentration of histamine is increased, and antihistamines are the preferred treatment. The traditional antihistamines are first-generation antihistamines, such as paracetamol and diphenhydramine, but these drugs are more drowsy after eating them, and some people are thirsty after eating them, aggravating glaucoma and urinary retention, so they affect the use of first-generation antihistamines. Generally speaking, the drug of choice is the second generation antihistamines, and the more characteristic and representative drugs include loratadine, cetirizine, fexofenadine, imipramine and so on. Second-generation antihistamines have many advantages, they are not easy to fall asleep after taking them, and the toxic side effects on the heart are relatively small, in addition to taking one capsule a day to get a better therapeutic effect. Therefore, it is now the first-line drug for the treatment of urticaria. Some patients may not get effective relief from antihistamines, and the doctor may recommend combining two antihistamines or taking additional doses. Most patients will be cured, but in some other patients, who may still not find relief after the combination, the doctor may recommend taking small doses of hormones, or immunosuppressants, cyclosporine A, etc. for a short period of time. This type of treatment must be used under the supervision of a doctor, and patients should not use it casually, especially in chronic urticaria, where hormones are contraindicated. Oral systemic glucocorticoid hormones must be taken only under the guidance of a doctor.
