Brief Answer:
Topical steroid and antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:
I would recommend her to apply topical steroid like mometasone cream on the affected areas of the face twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 7-10 days.
