Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The only cure for the allergy would be to avoid the source if it is known.
There are allergy tests that can be done to determine the source of the response. These can be in the form of blood tests or skin tests.
If the source is not known or you cannot avoid it then the allergy would continue and you would need to continue the antihistamines.
Though cetrizine is non drowsy some persons become sleepy with these medications. You may want to try other non drowsy medications such as loratidine or allergra.
I hope this helps
