What to do when u hav poison ivy and you are trying to sleep. I have already tried benedryl and calaminelotion
Question:
Answers:
Best thing you can do once the itching starts is a warm bath in Aveeno oatmeal, actually I am pretty sure any type of oatmeal will work but most places state Aveeno oatmeal so I added it.
benedry should help you sleep (i take it for just that sometimes) but its not the cure all. benedryl wont really make you tired but if you try sleeping with it it should work. also as far as the bath thing about the guy above me. buy teknu.you can buy it at walmart and the stuf works great! you can put it in your bath if you know you have touched poison ivy or oak and it will prevent it from coming up. you can also use it in your wash to make sure that the oils from the ivy or oak in your clothes come about and wont spred and lastly you can use it on yourself. i hope this has helped you a little.
