Pulmonologist 's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of allergic bronchitis (seasonal) is more.
In my opinion, you should take combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast), 15 days prior to season starts and continue till season ends.
Along with this, also take inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone) for the same period.
You will mostly improve with all these.
Since all these are prescribed drugs, you should consult pulmonologist, discuss all these and get done prescription.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
