Generally, doctors will prescribe some Western anti-allergic medicines, especially those containing antihistamines, such as Claritin. The dosage may be one tablet per day, depending on the specific situation.

In addition, you should take vitamin C tablets, calcium gluconate tablets, vitamin B complex tablets, OPC Gludogan, etc.

Chinese Medicine

Our compatriots all believe that Western medicine treats symptoms while Chinese medicine treats the root cause, so the methods used in Chinese medicine to treat ultraviolet allergies may be better. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is sun sores, caused by the invasion of yang heat and toxic evil into the body surface, accumulating in the skin, burning the skin and damaging the muscles.

Of course, the treatment method must be based on the cause, so Chinese medicine will definitely carry out necessary differentiation treatment on the basis of clearing heat and detoxifying, removing dampness and relieving itching. I don’t dare to speculate on the specific medicine given.
