Hello,
You are having chronic idiopathic urticaria. In such a condition, the antihistaminic drug is prescribed. So you have been prescribed Allegra tablet that contains antihistaminic medicine.
If no improvement with antihistaminic drugs than steroid or immunosuppressant prescribed. Usually, in many patient symptoms reoccur as soon as treatment stopped.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
