Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.
Allergic reaction takes few days to recover. I would suggest you following things:
> Avoid factors that cause allergy.
> If you have allergy then take levocetirizine one at night for 5 days
> Take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably.
Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.
> There is difficulty in breathing.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
