Can honeysuckle cure urticaria?

Many people believe that honeysuckle is powerful and can treat different types of diseases. In addition to the flowers, its leaves, stems, etc. can also be made into medicines. Their effects are the same. They can eliminate inflammation and kill germs and bacteria. So can honeysuckle treat urticaria? From the perspective of the efficacy of the medicine, it does not have the effect of treating urticaria, so eating honeysuckle cannot cure urticaria. To treat this disease, you must use regular and effective methods.

1. General treatment

Because the causes of urticaria vary, the treatment effects are also different. The specific treatment measures are as follows:

(1) Eliminate the cause. Every patient should strive to find the cause of the attack and avoid it. If the cause is infection, the infected lesions should be treated actively. If the allergy is caused by drugs, the allergy medication should be stopped; if the allergy is caused by food, find out the allergic food and stop eating this food.

(2) Avoid triggering factors. For example, for cold urticaria, you should keep warm; for acetylcholine urticaria, you should reduce exercise, sweating and mood swings; for contact urticaria, you should reduce the chance of contact.

2. Medication

(1) Antihistamines

①H receptor antagonists have strong anti-histamine and anti-other inflammatory mediator effects, and are effective in treating various types of urticaria. Commonly used H1 receptor antagonists include diphenhydramine, cyproheptadine, chlorpheniramine, acrivastine, cetirizine, mizolastine, loratadine, ebastine, azelastine, desloratadine, etc.; when single treatment is ineffective, two different types of H1 receptor antagonists can be used in combination or in combination with H2 receptor antagonists. Commonly used H2 receptor antagonists include cimetidine, ranitidine, famotidine, etc. It is effective for acute, chronic urticaria and cold urticaria. Dosage varies from person to person.

② Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant that is particularly effective for chronic urticaria and has fewer adverse reactions. Doxepin is a better choice of drug for patients with urticaria who are not responsive to traditional antihistamines.

(2) Drugs that inhibit mast cell degranulation and reduce histamine release

① Metabuterol sulfate is a β2-adrenergic receptor stimulator that can increase the concentration of cAMP in the body, thereby inhibiting mast cell degranulation.

② Ketotifen inhibits mast cell degranulation and prevents the release of inflammatory mediators (such as histamine, slow-reacting substances, etc.) by increasing the concentration of cAMP in the body. Its suppressed. It is stronger and faster than sodium cromoglycate and can be taken orally.

③Sodium cromoglycate can block the binding of antigen and antibody and inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators. If used in combination with glucocorticoids, the dosage of the latter can be reduced and the therapeutic effect can be enhanced.

It is not true that honeysuckle can cure urticaria, but patients can treat urticaria in the correct way. Using the drug treatment methods introduced in the article can control urticaria and alleviate its progression. At this time, the patient needs to confirm the type of urticaria, and then receive treatment according to the severity of the disease and skin changes. During treatment, attention should also be paid to hygiene, the skin should be kept dry, and it should not be infected by the urticaria virus.
