Well, there are plenty, and they can vary according to what is at the root of the problem.
Do NOT given any over-the-counter humans meds unless your vet says to do so. If what your ferret has is allergies, then you might wind up using tiny amounts of over the counter children's Benedryl but it HAS to be the kind with no additional meds in there. MANY over-the-counter human meds are fatal for ferrets. The includes things like Allegra, Tylenol (acetaminophen), Ibuprofen, anything with pseudoepinaphrine in it and others. You can find warnings in the easily searched FHL Archives:

AND
in the Files section of the FHL website:
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/files/
AND
and at the Animal Poison Control Center:

None of these is complete, but by using them together you can minimize risks.
