HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The defcort is a steroid and the cetrizine is an anti histamine. These medications should be adequate to treat her allergic response.

There should be some improvement within 24 to 48 hours. It may not be complete improvement at that time but it would then continue to resolve.

There are no food restrictions but she should make sure that she uses the steroid on a full stomach to avoid irritation of the stomach lining.
It should be used on mornings after breakfast or tea.

I hope this helps
