Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

Yes, you can take tab. Levocitrizine 5 mg once a day. Alternative to this, you can also take tablet Claritin 10 mg once a day.

Along with that I would suggest you to apply hydrocortisone ointment locally three times a day. You can also apply moisturizing cream, ice pack alternately.

Kindly avoid such foods. Let me know I can assist you further....
