These would be available over the counter eg benadryl, claritine, allegra, zyrtec
Claritine, zyrtec and allegra are non drowsy
An allergic reaction would typically cause some or all of the following: a rash, itching, hives, swelling
Some persons may have GI symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea/constipation, nausea
