Can I Take Allegra Along With Avil For Rashes Around The Eyes?

I am known allergic to sea food especially prawn and also most of the pain killer drugs - I avoid them. However for the past 15 days or so I have started developing the same skin allergy that I avoided assuming them to be some insect bite. About 12 days ago the allergy spread to the wind and food tunnel (I could feel). My physician suggested Allegra 180 once in the morning atarax 25mg in the night. After some disrupton in taking these medicines I have re-started taking them regularly for past 3 days. But today morning (after bath) I suddenly developed rashes around eyes (usual place) and it is spreading to the food tunnel despite taking allegra 180. Can I take avil 25mg now - that is after about three hours of taking allegra? Since this time allergy is not known - what should i avoid.

Please help.
