Hi,
Asthma is itself a disease due to an allergy and for which may be your father is taking treatment regularly.
Now, itching and pricking over face and neck could be due to corn eating as stated by you that it is all started on the day of corn eating.
He can take oral steroids ( as prednisolone) with mast cell stabilizers ( montelukast) to combat allergic symptoms if antihistamines are not working.
The best way to cure allergy is avoidance of allergen when it is known.
I can't comment on ayurvedic medicine since I am a allopathy doctor.
If problem persists then consult dermatologist.
I find this answer helpful
