There is no cure as far as I can tell, but there are medications that help reduce symptoms, like Zertec and Zantac

During the winter I DONT go outside, I take reactine 20mg twice a day and Benadryl in between because i still have reactions with just the reactine. I always wear a sweater and have a blanket close and I also always keep my heat on the highest setting.

Desensitisation programme. You gradually expose the skin/body to 15 degree centigrade water. Starts with arm from albow out to fingers.. then gradually expend bit by bit to all of the body is covered. This was done during surveillance by a doctor and a nurse. When programme is ended it must be followed up with a cold shower, 3 min every day.

Antihistamines and the Epi Pen

Posted Sep 24, 2018 by 6000
Treatment varies from person to person. Medication is a wide range of antihistamines (allergy medicine) but the best way to avoid a reaction is avoiding the cold.

For me I avoid my expose as much as possible. Take Blexten.

Anti histamines and sometimes other meds

Some people like me are able to get by on just daily antihestimines other need to take shots and wear protective clothing all the time it depends on where you live and the severity of your condition

Treatment will focus on reducing or managing symptoms.

Depending on the severity of your condition, you may need to manage your condition before or after cold exposure.

Medications like antihistamines can prevent or minimize the release of histamines when exposed to the cold.

Your condition may not respond to antihistamines. It may require another approach.

A 2019 study found that taking 150 to 300 mg of omalizumab (Xolair) every 4 weeks was effective in treating CU that did not respond to antihistamines.

Your doctor may also recommend other medications to treat CU, including:

corticosteroids
synthetic hormones
antibiotics
leukotriene antagonists
other immunosuppressants
You may need to carry injectable epinephrine, for example EpiPen, if you experience severe or life-threatening symptoms, such as anaphylaxis, from cold exposure.
