Antihistamine can be helpful.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that you might be having broncho constriction.
You may need an antihistamine like Fexofenadine 120 mg once a day. Bronchodilator inhaler are safe to use for broncho constriction. Steam inhalation and warm saline gargles will also have added benefits. A clinical examination will help in planning further medical management.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
