What should we pay attention to when we have heat urticaria?

Heat urticaria is a common type of urticaria. Its symptoms are similar to those of urticaria, so it is easy to distinguish. There are many aspects that need to be paid attention to when treating febrile urticaria. For example, when family members are caring for the patient, it is best to wear a mask and get vaccinated, because febrile urticaria is still contagious to a certain extent.

What should you pay attention to when you have heat urticaria?

1. Pay attention to nursing.

Nursing staff should wear masks or receive urticaria vaccination to prevent cross infection.

2. Pay attention to indoor ventilation.

Because the measles virus will lose its pathogenicity in 20 minutes under the sun or in flowing air, the patient should be prevented from being blown directly by the wind. To avoid direct sunlight, dark curtains can be used to cover the room. The indoor temperature and humidity should be maintained at a certain level, and some water can be sprinkled on the ground.

3. Pay attention to diet.

Since patients consume a lot of energy due to high fever, they should be encouraged to eat small meals frequently, take some liquid or semi-liquid food, and drink plenty of boiled water.

4. Pay attention to fever care.

In the early stage and during the rash period, when the body temperature is above 39.5 degrees Celsius, you can use mild antipyretics such as Zixuesan, Chaihu, Qingrejiedusan, etc. to reduce fever. Make sure the temperature does not drop too drastically, otherwise the drastic fever will not cause the rash to disappear fully. You can apply a warm, wet towel to the head, and avoid alcohol baths and ice packs to cool down.

5. Pay attention to oral hygiene.

The mouth should be kept moist and clean. You can rinse your mouth with salt water several times a day.
