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.
How long after having symptoms to a food allergen does the body continue to react to the allergen that was injested..Even if you took benadryl to help the symptoms how long does the body continue fighting the allergen?
It also depends on what type of hives there are. You may notcie that they arn't allergic reaction hives they might be something else so it may take longer for those hives to go away instead allergy hives.
For mild hives a topical antihistimine should reduce the swelling and redness fairly quick. For a reaction of greater severity, a doctor should be consulted as swelling may be an indication of the onset of anaphylaxis.
An allergic reaction lasts at least as long as the person is exposed to the allergen. A reaction to food, for example, can last three days. Some allergic reactions can be very dangerous, so if your breathing is compromised or the reaction is not stopping, get to a doctor.
Depends on the severity of the allergic reaction. It could be half an hour to several hours before the swelling goes down.
It depends on the type of cream. Why dont you read the label to find out?
For a food reaction to take place i would say about 30-40 minutes. i would look for rashes and coughing/sneezing.
What is the duration of an allergic reaction?
7 days
You do not catch hives. You can get hives by being exposed to something you are allergic to. Hives is an allergic reaction. You can get them by eating foods or having something touch your skin that your body reacts to like a "foreign body" reaction.

They look like a million tiny little red mosquito bites all over your body (in bad cases) or in small patches on different parts of body.Hives are caused by an allergic reaction to something. They itch a lot and if you think back about anything new you ate (something you never ate before) you may have had a food allergy. Otherwise if you touched or rubbed against a certain kind of plant, you could of had an allergic reaction to that.Take some oral Benedryl; if the bumps and redness don't go away, then they're not hives.Hives itch less than insect bites. However, Benedryl only temporarily relieves the hives.Hives can also last varying amounts of time depending on how fast you can find the object/objects that you are allergic to.

Hives are an allergic reaction and as such can have many causes depending on what a specific horse is sensitive to. Often the cause is skin contact with an irritating substance or an insect bite though it can be from an ingested substance as well.

Hive is a form of allergic reaction, period. What this mean is that anything you are allergic to can be result in hives. So, if you just happened be allergic the the swine flu or any of the ingredients within it, then the hives you have may be the result of the vaccine. It can also be something you're exposed to at around the same time as when you got the vaccine, like new food, soap, detergents, deodorants, ect.
Like people, different dogs have different allergies. Also, as with people, allergic reactions can range from mild to life-threatening and can progress quickly. Dogs often show a rapid swelling in the face, hives, itching, but can progress to difficulty breathing and shock (both life-threatening), collapse and death if they have a severe allergic reaction.
Hives are caused by an allergic reaction or severe anxiety. There are other "hive-like" rashes that can be caused by skin diseases or even lupus.
