Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this allergic reaction/drug interaction. Please, avoid alcohol and beer when on medications. Your medications are well adapted for this. However, helming would not be spontaneous and needs some time. I will suggest that you exercise patience an healing would set in within 7-10days. Am so sorry for this and hop you would do all to prevent future possible interactions.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

For minor allergies, claritin is good enough. Steroids are used for more severe reactions. To make sure am not missing out on anything, please upload an image of your face for review. This way, I can actually determine whether we ned more potent anti allergy medications or not.

I wish you well and hope to hear from you!
