hi..Thanks for your query
Urticaria is a very persistent condition for most of the people.It requires months of therapy for many .
The medicines you are having are correct .The other thing that i suggest is to do a few blood tests to rule out an internal causation of the same .
Although the condition is very persistent ,it does not pose any danger to most of the people.It is important to be under the supervision of a dermatologist while on the treatment.
hope this is helpful..take care!

Dear Patient,
Welcome to healthcare magic forum,

1) You are suffering from Chronic Urticaria.
2)It is not adviced to take Tab Omnacortil-10 for a long time,however you can continue tab Levocetrizine 5mg.If there is no relief in symptoms with tab Levocetrizine alone than you can replace this with Tab Xyzal-M (combination of Levocetizine & monteleukast) one tab before sleep.Besides this,you are also adviced to take following medications-
Tab Cefakind -CV 500mg BD for 5 days
Tab Bandy plus one tab 2 hrs after any meal.
