Lots of useful info for next time.
Pharmacy sold me Ibuprofen (which I needed anyway as we'd run out) for the pain and inflamation. Plus some Loratadine (antihistamine) for the day as it is non-drowsy but doesn't work as well as ... Piriton for the night. Also some Hydrocortisone cream to help keep the itching at bay.
Can't do Piriton during the day as I've got an interview, plus some driving to do, then playing 5-a-side football, then going to the pub. None of those would be good with any possible drowsiness (and you shouldn't drink on Piriton, but Piriton an hour after 4-5 pints isn't bad apparently).
