HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If the reaction started before taking the norco then it is not likely related to this medication.

It is likely linked to the use of the cheerios cereal. The use of the anti histamines is appropriate, one of them should be used consistently for at least 2 to 3 days .
If you have been doing this and there is no response then you may need to consider a short course of oral steroids from your doctor.

This would be the only other option available.

I hope this helps
