A member asked:

Are there any medicines i can take that can temporarily stop my allergies to cats? anything that works well?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes : Any anti-histamine will lessen your symptoms ; but the real problem is the allergen(cat).Use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) first for night-time allergy, it helps sleep and lessens allergic symptoms.
