What is urticaria in children

Infantile urticaria, commonly known as urticaria, is a common allergic skin disease and also a common skin disease in children. When the disease occurs, there will be wheals (groups) of varying sizes on the skin. When you touch them, you will find that they feel hard and itchy. The surface antigens of the urticaria can be seen in the pores. A slight scratch on the skin may result in a red mark slightly higher than the skin surface. This is caused by the cells and fluid in the blood vessels leaking out of the blood vessels.

The wheals of the affected child appear and disappear quickly, and leave no traces in childhood, but they are prone to recurrence, possibly several times a day. Urticaria in children can occur in any part of the body. When it involves the digestive tract, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea may occur. It can also cause symptoms such as edema, chest tightness, breathlessness, suffocation, and bronchial asthma. Parents should take their children to the hospital for treatment in time.
