Understanding Hives and Available Medicine
Hives,
or to use the medical term urticaria, are raised, itchy, red spots
on
the top of the skin. They often appear in groups. Hives usually occur
on the torso and limbs, but can be present on other parts of the body
as well. There are many different types of hives medicine, from
homemade hives
treatment to prescription medication. Depending on the
severity of
the inflammation, patients might find relief with home
remedies. If not, consulting your doctor is a good idea.
Over the Counter Medication for Hives
One of the
most
effective medications for hives treatment is Calamine lotion.
Calamine lotion contains an astringent, which helps relieve the itch.
Other helpful astringents include witch hazel, especially when it is
chilled.
Another is zinc oxide, which is often the active ingredient in many
medicines and hives solutions. If your hives are particularly severe,
there are tests that a physician can perform to identify what is
causing the hives. By identifying the cause, it should be possible to
avoid what is causing the reaction.
Natural Hive
Medicines
Another
effective medicine for hives treatment is milk of
magnesia. An alkaline solution, the milk helps to stop the itching by
removing the irritating itchy sensation. It is an effective hives
solution. By soaking in a warm bath at least once a day, a
hives sufferer will be able to relieve their symptoms. However, only by
removing the source of the allergic reaction will the hives
stop appearing.
Oatmeal is another effective treatment for hives. Steeping a bath full
of oatmeal, then applying the oatmeal to your hives with a cotton wool
ball will help to relieve the hives and will make the red rash reduce
in size and color. This can also be helpful with other types of itch
and inflammation as well.
