t appears that your symptoms have recurred due to incomplete treatment and possible food triggers. Levocetirizine is generally a safe antihistamine and can be taken in the morning if you are experiencing itching â however, it may cause drowsiness in some individuals.
Since your dermatologist advised a 20-day course, it's important to complete the full course as prescribed, even if the symptoms improve early. This helps prevent recurrence and controls allergic inflammation more effectively.
