How Can Allergic Rashes After Taking Terbinafine Be Managed?

I had an allergic reaction to Terbinafine about a month ago. I only took 3 pills, 3 days in a row. I broke out in hives from head to toe. They put me on prednisone up to 80mg, its starts to get better but as soon I drop down below 40mg it seems to start coming back. Its bad now on my lower arms and upper thighs. Just curious for any advise.

You might have to continue tab Prednisone for about a week and kindly taper it over 2 weeks and then stop.
