What should I do about recurring hives?

It is a second-grade child.

Even as a child, I occasionally experienced sudden outbreaks of unexplained hives.

I even went to the emergency room in the middle of the night.

On the way there, everything had already sunk, so I couldn't get any medicine at the hospital and just came back.

It was temporary, and I lived without any inconvenience in daily life.

 

 

However, a small rash started in spring.

It doesn't rise much. Only a small amount comes up in one or two places.

It will settle down again in an hour or two.

Since it rises and falls mainly in the evening, you can also sleep well at night.

It's not severe, so the child isn't particularly having a hard time.

Moreover, since there was no rash during the day, I didn't go to the hospital.

Once a week like that, once every three days, and then...

Recently, it seems to come up at least once a day.

Even though it was a small amount, I thought this wasn't right, so I went to the pediatrics and asked.

They say there are many children like that, so I hit them with emergency medicine, such as Doedrin syrup (antihistamine), and

You prescribed RidoMax (mild steroid ointment).

It's hard to find out what the cause is.

He said that it would get better as it grows.

 

 

 

 

 

Actually, even when I observe it myself, I can't really identify the cause.

Consider various causes such as temperature, food, clothing, bedding, and others.

I looked back and checked what I did and what I ate each day.

I couldn't find any commonality at the time the hives appeared.
So, it's just a matter of immunity.

I thought I had sensitive skin since I was young.

For now, I decided to monitor by using the emergency medication received.

I hardly ever had to use that either.

When I get hives, I only apply a small amount of ointment locally.

 

 

But a few days ago, it was quite high.

It has risen more than before from the neck to the chest and back.

Almost every day, sometimes even during the day, I see it getting worse, so I wondered if it's getting more severe.

I had lunch on Saturday, and an hour later, my face, body, and legs all...

More hives are appearing at the same time than before.

 

 

I was surprised, so I quickly fed him some medicine.

After eating, it disappeared cleanly as if it were a lie.

I think I should show this when I go to the hospital, I was trying to take a picture.

It's already almost inserted, so it's hard to see.

I haven't reacted much to the food so far.

It seems that the condition has not been good these past few days.

I think lunch might have been hard on my body.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I diligently searched the internet out of worry.

Hives appear and after six weeks, they become chronic.

They didn't say that in the pediatric department before, maybe because it's the pediatric department.

I think I should have gone to the allergy and immunology department.

It feels like my child has already been two months.

Compared to chronic urticaria patients listed on the internet

The severity is too mild. Last weekend, it did increase somewhat, but

Usually, it only rises a little and quickly subsides on its own.

If it is chronic, treatment should continue with medication for more than a year.

They take it every day, whether they have hives or not, like hypertension medication.

 

 

I was thinking of going back to the hospital again anyway.

Whether it's the effect of the medication, three days have passed since Saturday until now.

There isn't a single small hives visible.
I don't think the effect will last more than three days.

I have been avoiding noodles since that day.

We do not completely restrict flour.

I also ate snacks and bread.

Still, the hives are not visible.

 

 

I'm confused... Should I go to the hospital or not?

Honestly, I don't want to keep giving medicine to that young child.

Antihistamines are considered safe medications, but they can still cause drowsiness.

I don't think it's an easy task for the child.

 

 

Moreover, her husband also said he experienced the same thing when he was young.

He also often developed hives, but they grew larger and then improved on their own.

That's also true for your mother-in-law. I think it's hereditary.

They say just leave it alone since the child will be like that.

Let's keep emergency medication and only use it when necessary, like now.

Of course, I also make sure to give better supplements to boost immunity.

I am trying to block as many causes as possible that can trigger hives.

Even if it's not the cause, it will serve as a catalyst.

 

 

Of course, I shouldn't do that, but if the symptoms were severe, I would have rushed to the hospital immediately.

Should this level of hives be treated with long-term medication?

Someone who had chronic hives.

Has anyone experienced hives appearing frequently, similar to my child?

I want to hear your feedback~~
