Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are having the symptoms of food allergy. As you were prescribed Tab Citrizine and prednisolone and weaned off over the period of time, these drugs will helps to control the symptoms.

These drugs can only control the symptoms but it cannot cure condition.

You need to avoid the food allergen which is responsible for all these symptoms, or you can choose immunotherapy. Either you can take subcutaneous immunotherapy or sublingual immunotherapy against the particular allergen.

Thank you.
