Does Acute Urticaria Have A Permanent Cure?

Hi, I have been diagnosed with acute urticaria, and I am taking anti-histamines (Allegra - 180mg) daily. But is there any other alternative for complete cure of urticaria as I have been informed that it is symptomatic treatment for it and there is no permanent cure.

Hi.
As per your case history you are having urticaria.
My treatment advice is –

1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2 months.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine twice daily when lesions appear.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid and hydroxyzine given only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
