I have a cat who has a general allergy due to the hay and mold near our house. I was just wondering if you could give cats benedryl for temporary relief( without a visit tot he vet). I am also open to alternative remedies. Thankyou!

I sneeze bad and get stuffed up around 1 cat, and sneeze bad,and wake up with a sore throat everyday. I always wake up coughing too. Im looking for some natural relief. I don’t like taking meds. When I clean, vaccuum dust, and wash clothes, I start sneezing and coughing, and my eyes get watery. I’ve been suffering for the last week straight now.I only feel better in the warm moist air of the shower. I sneeze all night and my eyes water so bad that they are stuck together when I wake up. My eyes are burning all the time lately. This happens when it’s dry and windy weather, and in the dry air from the furnace. I looking for any suggestions. Benedryl on brings temporary relief.
