Brief Answer:
A short course of oral steroids may help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query on HCM.

Generally mild allergy symptoms should subside with antihistamines. You may have to take them continuously for longer duration. If the symtoms do not subside you may have to take a course of oral steroids. A dose of 20 mg of wysolone for 5 days should help.
