Cat Allergies Treatment

I grew up with 5 cats and never had allergy symptoms until I went away to college and came back and developed some rashes. After a few days , they disappeared. Now (at 33) I just got 2 new kittens and my allergies are real bad (runny nose, sneezing, eyes, etc.). Is it possible that with time, my allergies will go away or is this permanent? Hoping not the latter, but may be a reality that I need to face. I’ll prb. head to an allergist butr looking to see if anyone had firsthand experience about this? Thanks for your help! Doug

My boyfriend and I are house sitting for some friends and I have pretty bad cat allergies. For the past several years I’ve taken benadryl around my friend’s cats which works out okay, but I’m never around them for more than a few hours….

I will be spending the night in a house with cats and I want to know for allergies (itchy eyes, really itchy skin, sometimes hives) what kind of medicine would be most effective.
