Brief Answer:
Benadryl or Zyrtec!

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

Bendaryl or Zyrtec are good medication to take alongside your current drugs. Ask the pharmacist to direct you on how to take it. They are available over the counter at a minimal price. Do you have any fevers?

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications If need be.
