celestamine is steroid it is used strictly as per prescription of doctor
you can take allegra 120 mg bd and tacb atarax 10 mg night and apply mometasone local application bd
continue for 3 wk as allertgies take 3 week to subside
take lot of warm water
can also apply calamine lotion on affected area
celestamine should be last choice when all antiallergics fail
