Hello

The symptoms you have mentioned are suggestive of allergic bronchitis/asthma.The mainstay of management in this condition is to avoid the precipitating factor.So I would suggest you to avoid any cold items to prevent the exacerbation.
If symptoms occurs more than one time per week(day symptom) or more than one per month(night symptom) then continuous long term controller treatment is needed.If symptoms are not so frequent short duration treatment(steroid like flohale and bronchodilator like asthalin) is all that needed.
So I would suggest you to follow the advice of your doctor and avoid the precipitating factor.
Regards
