Doctors can prescribe some antihistamines, but be careful about piling on too many medications. Don't take any medications unless you're sure that you need them, because all of them have side effects.
From the American Academy of Family Physicians:
"You shouldn't take prescription antihistamines if you are taking certain other prescription drugs--such as erythromycin, itraconazole (brand name: Sporanox) or ketoconazole (brand name: Nizoral)--at the same time. When your doctor gives you a prescription, always ask if it's safe to use with the other medicines you're taking. Your pharmacist can also tell you which medicines you shouldn't take with a prescription antihistamine. If you aren't sure, ask the pharmacist or your doctor before taking another medicine."

Stop taking the medication. You should not continue with any medication if you have had an allergic reaction to it.

anti-histamine....Benadryl works wonders for me. Hope that helps. Oh and stop taking the meds. If you have shortness of breath go to the ER dont wait. You do need to call you doc in the morning though to see if you need figure out how to treat your problem that you were orignally taking the medication for!
