Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I read carefully your question and can understand your concern.

There are many possible options to manage an episode of Urticaria, rezistent to high dosis of Antihistamines (like Cetrizine 20 mg a day).
You can have another Diprospan injection and if the symptoms fail to improve ,a short course of oral Corticosteroids like Prednisolon 1mg/kg for 3-5 days in addition to Antihistaminics should be taken in consideration.

Other possible options are a group of drugs called Leukotriene receptor antagonist (Montelukast ,Zafirlukast) or immunosuppressant drugs (Cyclosporine ,Sulfasalazine ,Tacrolimus) if all other options fail to control your symptoms.
I would recommend to consult your physician for adequate management .Physical examination is necessary to evaluate the severity of the urticaria and to determine the best option of treatment.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question.I would be happy to help.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
