Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
You seem to be suffering from Allergic Bronchitis, and the symptoms of itchiness are related to that only.
I would strongly recommend you to continue with Allegra and the inhaler. Your symptoms would start improving with in 3-4 days.
However, you should do steam inhalation along in order to help with the itchiness symptoms.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
