Can I breastfeed if I have urticaria?

It is a headache for breastfeeding women if they get sick. Urticaria is an allergic skin rash. Generally, various anti-allergic drugs are used in the treatment.

Urticaria is a common disease caused by an allergic mechanism. Allergies stimulate the human body to produce specific antibodies. These antibodies attach to mast cells or alkaliphilic leukocytes in the body. When this food is eaten again, it combines with the allergens in the food, causing mast cells and alkaliphilic leukocytes to release histamine. Histamine acts on blood vessels, causing them to dilate and increase permeability, resulting in large amounts of protein and fluid extravasating into the skin tissue, thus causing urticaria. When taking medications orally or by injection, you should be careful not to eat raw, cold, or spicy foods, and stay away from allergens. In addition, get more exercise and exercise.

Once a breastfeeding woman finds symptoms of urticaria, she should identify the allergens as soon as possible and avoid contact.
