I am so thankful to the experienced doctors here, especially the chief doctor/ teacher, Dr Ho here…read more My chronical hives is finally cure after suffering from 5 months of hives and many sleepless nights.
I lived in the US and had hives all over my body (Even underneath my hairline) that it will keep me up all night with its itch. It has gotten so badly that my lips and face would get swollen ,( in which, it may lead to internal hives that causes suffocation. )I've visited allergist to do all kinds of blood test and panel to check if I was allergic to anything. And finally I was tested with positive with autoimmune disease. Then I was sent to see a rheumatologist for some prescription. With the help of antihistamine , I was barely stablizing the hives. But as soon as I stop taking the allergies pills, it returns immediately. Since I was visiting HK, I decided to give Chinese medication for a shot. When I saw Dr Ho, he just simply said it's 濕彥,A type of hives that are quite common in HK. Honestly, I thought the diagnosis sounded too generic for me in the beginning and doubted if he was right. But true enough after visiting him 2 to 3 times with about 10 days of Chinese herb tea, my hives started to fade and I can finally live antihistamine free!!
While the medication was effective, the cost for visits are so reasonable. Hkd$50 per visit, after paying an annual fee( maybe like $300 more poor less, I don't remember exactly) and each herbs medication for 4 days, ranges from$280- $340 , depending on the herbs prescribed. No wonder there are so many patients coming to see him. I couldn't thank him enough.
Tips: Dr Ho ( 何院長) is only there Monday, Wednesday and Friday and advance appointment must be made. And he could get very dry and scold-like in his conversing with you, but he means well for all his patients.
And it's an open office for visit, you won't have any privacy for your conversation, but honestly no one cares about your problem. Asian style.
