Hi,
The symptoms of your brother seem to be related to an allergic reaction. I recommend taking daily antihistamines such as Levocetirizine daily. I also recommend him to continue the steroids given by the doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
