Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi, steroids are not first line treatment for urticaria. use a non sedating antihistamine like levocetrizine. You may increase the dose of levocetrizine if conventional dose is not successful in controlling urticaria. Also, try to identify and avoid triggering factor. Hope it helps
