Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Levocet has fewer side effects and is more effective comparing to Atarax.
In my opinion she should take Levocet orally once a day in the evening, up to 10 days, depending from the response. She can also continue using calamine lotion.

Hope I have answered your query.
