A member asked:
I have a moderate allergic reaction to dairy which can be extremely painful at times, what over-the-counter medications can help besides benedryl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe not allergy: That sounds more like lacose intolerance. Pick up some lactase tablets in the drugstore (no rx required) and take them with dairy according to the instructions on the bottle. If they don't help, see your physician for further evaluation.
