Dr. Natalie Hodge answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

72 hours: Should take two to three days for the redness to improve. You can try any of the over the counter non sedating antihistamines. I like cetirizine, because it acts for 24 hours and is relatively non sedating, compared to benadryl (diphenhydramine).
