HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be faster to use an oral anti histamine when you are exposed to the allergen.
An oral anti histamine , combined with the topical treatments , would quickly help to relieve your symptoms.
Examples of oral anti histamines are: benadryl, claritine, zyrtec, allergra.
These should be available over the counter.
I hope this helps
