Can consider use of antihistamines ( Claritin ,Zyrtec and or Benadryl in the evening as it makes you drowsy), and topical antihistamine cream ( Benadryl cream) Always avoid the substances that cause the reaction, that is critical.. Go to urgent care (you can ask what they need--many treat immigrants). If short of breath, wheezing, tongue or mouth/body swelling you must call 911
