Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Use any Anti-histaminic preparations which are available over the counter (OTC) like Chlorpheniramine or Levocetirizine or fexofenidine. If the problem doesn't resolve,then consult your family physician.

Please let me know if there are any other concerns.

Regards,
Dr.SIVAYOGI.
