Case Two, Question 3<br />

Answer: b<br />

Which of the following treatments would you<br />

recommend for Ms Jennings?<br />

a. Daily topical retinoid to face (not used for urticaria)<br />

b. Daily oral 2 nd generation H1 antihistamine<br />

c. Oral 2 nd generation H1 antihistamine, take when the<br />

itching begins (less practical and will not help<br />

prevent the initial lesion)<br />

d. No need to continue with an antihistamine, stopping<br />

the NSAID should resolve the urticaria (treatment<br />

should be initiated in addition to removing potential<br />

triggers)
