An allergic reaction is your body's way of trying to get rid of something it perceives as a threat. So the first step is to identify what you're allergic to.
If you know what you're allergic to, then the best way to get rid of an allergic reaction is to avoid coming into contact with it. If that's not possible or if you're not sure what you're allergic to, then you can try taking an antihistamine like Benadryl which will help suppress the immune system response and reduce the symptoms.
