Dangerous than hives?

As is known, among the most common allergic disease - urticaria. It is striking and very young, and already adults. And like all heard about it, and believe that the disease is unpleasant, but nothing to fear. Today, try to explain about the disease in detail. What is urticaria, how to fight it, and most importantly - how it can be dangerous.

The disease comes in two types - acute and chronic.

The causes of urticaria is the contact with the allergen, which may be exogenous factors. Contribute to the development of urticaria are chronic infections, gastrointestinal diseases and endocrine systems, as well as the presence of parasites in the human body.

Disease begins acutely. Appears very itchy skin rashes specific pale pink, as well as blisters that can merge. Suffering and the general condition - the temperature rises, there is a feeling chills, joint pain appears. A few hours after the blisters disappear. It is worth saying that the disease can affect not only the skin and mucous membranes but: GI - vomiting, upper respiratory tract - coughing.

In contrast to acute, chronic urticaria can persist for several years, and new elements are produced every day of rash. Additional symptoms of the disease is permanent subfebrilitet, weakness, joint pain, increased pruritus and neurotic disorders.

Treatment of acute urticaria involves the appointment of laxatives, sedatives, drugs for allergies the same as Claritin,for example - calcium gluconate intravenously, hormone therapy. We recommend drinking lots of water - to remove the allergen from the body. Affected areas of skin treated by hormonal ointments, which include corticosteroids.
