Brief Answer:
Possibility of allergic etiology is more likely.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
All your symptoms are suggestive of allergic etiology.
So get done
1. CBC (complete blood count)
2. Serum histamine levels
3. Serum IgE level
Along with antihistamine (benadryl and Claritin), you should start anti allergic (montelukast).
Montelukast (10mg) should be taken at night time before going to sleep.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
