Brief Answer:
antihistamine and bronchodilator may help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that an antihistamine like Fexofenadine 120 mg once a day will be helpful. A bronchodilator inhaler containing Levosalbutamol can be taken under medical supervision.
Avoid contact with allergens that increase your symptoms.
In addition, get your blood tested for Complete Blood Count and a Chest X - Ray (PA view) done to plan further medical management.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help. Regards. Thanks.
