Have used a flexible silicone to fill crack before ceiling was repainted, but it reappeared.

Gerry you need to spackle, tape, sand and repaint. Make sure you don't have a leak. Aloha!
There are many ways to do this, Gerry. Just Google your exact question - How do I fix a crack in a stippled ceiling? I found many good videos. Unfortunately, as there are so many different ways of doing this you might have to look at a few videos yourself and choose which one you like best.
Yes, find out why the crack re-appeared - water and or structural issues come to mind.
DIY stores sell the textured ceiling in a spray can for finishing small repairs.
Gerry,. You need to sand, spackle, tape and spackle again. Painting is next. Aloha!
Your problem could be the result of settling, roof issues, or too much or too little humidity.
Check your roof/ foundation outside this area. Set interior humidistat to no more than 40%. Run a dehumidifier, if needed.
Sometimes the cracked area must be enlarged before spackling, repainting.
