Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Stop the medication: The best treatment for medication allergy is to stop the medication that triggered the reaction as soon as possible. To decrease itching, a medication like an antihistamine can be helpful. For severe reactions, oral steroids like Prednisone may be necessary.
