You would need to be under the care of an allergist to try this newer drug option. They have found promising results with Xolair in cases of chronic urticaria not responding to those other options

Xolair is one option and your specialist will have additional information. Allergy testing to identify food and environmental triggers often effective in guilding management. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, prolonged cough and chest tightness..
