Hello,
You may be having an allergy at home may be to moulds or dander or pollen or itch mites etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Use a humidifier and avoid cool drinks and freeze water avoid smoking. Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.
Use tablet montelukast and levocetirizine once a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
