My cat is scratching non-stop after new flea treatment. What helps?

Question

I wanted the v et to give my cat her monthly comfortis tablet and he suggested broadline. I expressed my concern that she might be allergic to it as the other vet suggested comfortis because of her showing an allergy to spot on. He said It's highly unlikely and I agreed to give it a try. Now she scratches non stop and she even allows me to scratch her around her next and chin which she normally doesn't like. What can she take to ease the itching? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 11 years and 4 months old

If you can bathe her I would suggest doing that. Removing what's left of the topical product can be helpful. This medicated shampoo should help. ( https://www.epetstore.co.za/cat-skin-and-coat-care/allermyl-medicated-shampoo ) Also, you can apply a cortisone spray or cream to her skin. You should be able to pick this up at any pharmacy. Hope this helps. Best wishes and Merry Christmas!
