TAGULABAY or URTICARIA

Evening of June 4, 2012, my daughter Chelsea collapsed in front of me. I was in a shock and carried her to bed. Then I noticed her skin is full of bumps all over her body. She uttered in a weak voice, that she feels dizzy and when I touched her palm, she had a fever. I massage and give her paracetamol as my first remedy. I keep on massaging her body, then my mom went inside her room and check her bumps, and she told me it was a "TAGULABAY".



TAGULABAY or URTICARIA is , also known as hives, is an outbreak of swollen, pale red bumps or plaques (wheals) on the skin that appear suddenly -- either as a result of the body's adverse reaction to certain allergens, or for unknown reasons.  Hives usually cause itching, but may also burn or sting. They can appear anywhere on the body, including the face, lips, tongue, throat, or ears. Hives vary in size (from a pencil eraser to a dinner plate), and may join together to form larger areas known as plaques. They can last for hours, or up to one day before fading.






The next day, June 5.  I asked her to take a rest maybe she got stress going to school.  While inside her room watching TV and playing with her dolls I noticed that her skin bumps are getting worse and more itchy.  So I asked her if she still dizzy, she replied, little dizzy.  

I searched on the internet to look for a cure.  Upon reading from different link about URTICARIA I found out that when they take antibiotics it trigger them more.

Thanks God I found the right answer from the blog of brokenstring20 - it's CARROT!   Natural medicine and we didn't have to buy expensive medicine. Natural food is the best way to prevent body from virus, disease or any kind.

WHAT TO EAT WHEN YOU HAVE TAGULABAY?


VITAMIN B-5-RICH FOODS.  Vitamin B-5, or pantothenic acid, is a B-complex vitamin known for its role in alleviating stress. This vitamin aids in the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter chemical that regulates mood and helps manage anxiety and stress, according to Phyllis Balch, C.N.C., author of "Prescription for Nutritional Healing." Adding foods rich in vitamin B-5 may help reduce your body's stress response, which may decrease the frequency of stress-related hives outbreaks. Whole wheat pastas and breads, hazelnuts, chickpeas, eggs, mushrooms and rye are rich sources of vitamin B-5.



Parsley is most commonly used in the United States as a garnish for soups, stews and meat dishes. It is also an ingredient in some breath fresheners -- the chlorophyll in parsley may help decrease bad breath. Parsley may also help reduce hives outbreaks. It inhibits the production of histamines, which are chemicals that trigger allergic reactions to medicines and foods, according to Michael Castleman, author of "The New Healing Herbs." Add fresh parsley sprigs to soups, casseroles, pasta sauces and marinades. Talk to your doctor before consuming parsley to combat hives -- it may occasionally cause stomach upset.



Vitamin C-Rich Foods.  Adding vitamin C-rich foods to your diet may help improve immune system function by stimulating the production of white blood cells in your body. This may help your body destroy virus cells and bacteria, such as Candida albicans and hepatitis B, that can contribute to hives, according to Balch. Vitamin C may speed recovery and help prevent future outbreaks. Add foods to your diet such as blackberries, cherries, asparagus, cantaloupe, avocado, grapefruit, papayas and oranges to boost your vitamin C intake.


Vitamin E-rich Foods.  Like vitamin C, vitamin E may stimulate immune system function, helping your body fight off bacteria and viruses that can cause hives. Vitamin E may also improve blood circulation to your skin, according to Balch. The circulation-enhancing benefits of vitamin E may increase the availability of vitamins, minerals, oxygen and fats your skin needs for health and cellular repair. Cold-pressed olive oil, kelp, eggs, kale, spinach, pumpkin seeds and almonds are abundant sources of vitamin E.

  1. The triggers that are frequently associated with hives includes pregnancy, pressure from belts, straps, and elastic causing pressure urticaria, exercise, stress, and hot showers that are a cause of hives which are called cholinergic urticaria, swimming which can cause severe reactions and probably even more due to cold rather than the water, and friction. In pregnancy hives usually appears in late in pregnancy.
