Suggest Treatment For An Allergic Reaction On Skin

I think I may have had an allergic reaction to lavendar oil. My eyes are swollen and my eyelids feel and look as if they are burned. I took Claritn because it was the only thing I had while on vacation. Will this make the symptoms go away or do I need to do something else as well? I am unable to mix Claritin and

Bendadryl at this time correct?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Claritin (Loratadine) is an effective antiallergic agent and should help in reducing the reactions. You may apply some emollient or moisturiser or calamine lotion over the area for soothing effect. No need to take Benadryl. In a few days time it should be fine.
