Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you a tapered the dose of steroid over a period of time, it will not cause any a Chat Doctor. The facial edema and weight gain will come down in 1-2 months, if it is not coming down you need to test your blood. The steroids will only reduce the symptoms of allergy, but it will not cure the condition. I would suggest you to find out the allergen causing these symptoms by Skin prick test (SPT) and try to avoid the allergen causing these symptoms. You can choose immunotherapy for treatment in longer run. Thank you.
