I don't think a "hot bath" is recommended. I think the hot water will spread the poison (oil) and could make it worse. Warm water is ok.
Benidrill (sp ?) should help reduce the itching. If it is bad.....go see a doctor. My wife had to get a shot and take some steroid pills for ~ 2 weeks when she got poison Ivy a couple of years ago.
