I'm not a doctor, but signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction can carry on for 24 hrs or may even start then. anti-histamines act fast but then again it all depends on the allergen

How long does it take for an allergic reaction like hives to go away?
Allergic reactions to Meds are tricky. Obviously its best to consult a Physician ASAP for their opinion. My daughter had a reaction to ammoxicilin and it took a few days for the swelling and rash to go away. The medicine stays in your system longer then you realize. Some people need steroids to reduce swelling and an antihistamine like Benydryl. Its safe to say that you need to give it a few days for the fluid of the swelling to go away and back to normal. Keep antihistamines in your purse (or if a guy, in your pocket or vehicle at all times.) Benadryl is the best and for adults two caps (25 mgs. each) are what you should take. It takes only 10 to 15 minutes for the swelling to go down, but if you've left it for a long time it may take longer. DO NOT DRIVE A VEHICLE OR MACHINERY WHILE TAKING ANTIHISTIMINES. Benadryl is given in hospitals (I know because I had a reaction to a medication) and is harmless to you. It will probably make you sleepy.

Can you become a vet evn if your allergic to cats?
Well, that depends. If you are allergic to cat hair, watch out for long haired cats, because they shed. If you are allergic to the cat itself, i think you should have an assistant to help you with it, and a mask is a thoughtful suggestion. But, you have to read one more thing i think you should do: Take allergy medicine before treating ANY ANY ANY ANY ANY ANY cat.

Why isn't there a cure for hayfever?
Hayfever is a common name for a medical condition known as allergic rhinitis. It is an allergic reaction to one or more 'allergens' (substances that trigger the symptoms). Common allergens include pollens, dust, molds and animal dander, but there are other triggers as well. The symptoms of hayfever can include one, more or all of these: runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, itchy ears, 'plugged' ears, sneezing, post nasal drip, sinus congestion, dry cough. In asthmatics it can trigger or worsen asthma symptoms. As always, it is recommended that a person be evaluated by a medical professional to receive an accurate diagnosis. The cause of hayfever is the reason it cannot be "cured" at this time. It is essentially a relatively minor defect in the persons immune system, thought to be caused by a genetic mutation. What happens is that when exposed to an allergen, the allergic persons immune system goes to work to neutralize the foreign substance (allergen). This occurs with all people, but in the person with hayfever, there is a mild to severe over-reaction to the allergen. Histamine, which is part of the immune defense system, is over produced, causing the symptoms of hayfever. This is why antihistamines control these symptoms. There are other medicines to control symptoms as well, but generally require an evaluation by a medical professional as they are prescription meds. It should be pointed out that sometimes a series of increasing strength shots of the allergen, administered by a qualified allergy specialist, and commomly called 'allergy shots' can lead to a long term remission of symptoms and even a 'cure', but technically it is not a cure- it is a desensitization of the immune systems reaction to the allergen. However, this is the exception rather than the rule. More commonly, a reduction in the severity of symptoms is the result of these allergy shots. These shots are usually reserved for people with moderate-severe to severe symptoms. The symptoms of hayfever can vary from year to year, or even day to day, depending upon how much allergen the person is exposed to. For instance, if allergic to ragweed pollen, the symptoms will worsen the higher the pollen count goes. For more information, consult one of the professional medical websites, such as nih.gov or cdc.gov.

Treating Dog Allergies?
A dog allergy treatment is similar in some ways to treating human allergies but significantly different in other ways. Humans may manifest allergy symptoms such as itchiness, burning and watery eyes. They may also have a cough, wheezing and a sore throat. Some skin allergies will manifest as hives or a rash. For our canine friends, most of their allergies manifest in symptoms with their skin that will have an effect on their coat.While our seasonal and other allergies will cause havoc on our upper airways, our doggy pals will show their allergy symptoms on their skin and in their ears. Dogs who are chewing at their coat, skin or feet are probably exhibiting an allergic reaction to something. If a dog is rubbing his ears and snout on the carpet or furniture, there very well may be an allergy at work. Crusty bits of skin forming where clumps of hair can easily be pulled out can be caused by allergies.The main dog allergy treatment is to remove the allergen. Flea and tick bites can cause an allergic reaction. Soaps, carpet cleaner, air and fabric fresheners, and carpet freshening products can trigger allergies. Certain food ingredients such as corn and soy can cause an allergic reaction in many dogs. Soy is a known allergen for humans and is one of the top eight human allergens. However, just in the past few years, dog food manufacturers have widely implemented soy in dog food recipes. Before soy, corn was the likely culprit in allergies caused by dog food. In this case, the dog allergy treatment would be to use a food that does not contain the allergens.Pharmacological dog allergy treatment includes veterinary prescribed steroids and antihistamines. Steroids can cause long term damage and antihistamines that are otherwise safe for dogs do cause persistent tiredness due to the sedative effects of most antihistamines. Supplements such as the Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil may be effective in some dogs. Biotin is a B vitamin and has had some success in naturally treating canine allergies, especially when used concomitantly with fish oil. Always ask a veterinarian. A drug or supplement that is safe for one breed may be lethal to another.
