Recently I went to my friend's house for a sleepover. During the night I got hives on my face. She has a cat and two dogs, and I'm allergic. What are some good creams, pills, etc that will make them go away next time I'm there?
Smartone answered Monday January 19 2009, 6:40 pm: There are over the counter allergy medications that work very well. You could also go to the doctor and get cortisone injections, but, I think before I started on the drug route, I would not sleep over her house. Once you start on allergy meds, it can be hard to do without them as allergies can come back with a vengence and you now become dependant. [ Smartone's advice column | Ask Smartone A Question ]
This website has several home remedies to treat hives. I suggest using calamine lotion. Furthermore, you may want to talk to a doctor or pharmacist to see if they have any recommendations because unfortunately, we can't treat you over the internet (: [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]
