Brief Answer:
Regarding treatment for urticaria

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

I suggest you to complete the course of treatment as advised by your doctor. Take treatment regularly rather than on as required basis. Though Oral steroids are not a definitive treatment of urticaria they can be taken for a short duration of time e.g 2-3 weeks. Sometimes urticaria can last for months or years and relapses on stopping treatment whereby you may require to take an oral antihistamine once daily as suppressive therapy
