Brief Answer:
Need some investigations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for the query.

I want to ask you few questions.
1. Since how many days you are having these?
2. Any family members having similar allergy and symptoms?
3. Have you undergone Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)?

I am asking all these because of strong possibility of Bronchial Asthma in your case. So I advice you to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray and PFT.
This will help you in diagnosing Asthma. Also helpful in treatment of it.

Another possibility in your case is Acute Bronchitis if your history is short like since 1 week.
So if your symptoms are since childhood then possibility of Asthma is more. And for proper diagnosis and accurate treatment PFT is must.

You may also need anti allergic treatment. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Wish you good health.

Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Asthma is more likely in your case.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for the details.

Since 3 years you are having these symptoms, so possibility of bronchial asthma is more in your case.
And in asthma cases, similar allergy and symptoms are seen in family members. So I asked about family history.
Better to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT to rule out asthma. And start treatment accordingly.

Hope I have solved your queries. If you are not having further queries, please rate the answer and close the conversation.

Wish you good health.

Thanks.
