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
