Cat allergy: please tell me all you know! Can it (allergy) go away?

Hello,
We've adopted a lovely cat. She is 2 years old and very sweet. The whole family met her and no one seemed to react. After half a day DD (13) has itchy eyes and nose, "fluffy" throat, and skin reaction like a nettle sting where the cat caught her on her arm. We have given DD an antihistamine.

DD is beside herself as she loves that cat and desperately wants her to stay.

I don't know much about allergies. Does anyone have experience of this? Do allergies go away (please forgive my ignorance/ desperation) or is it an impossible situation?

Any help appreciated!

In my very limited experience, this will only get worse. How is DD now?
