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.
