Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms suggestive of some allergic reactions. As your doctor has prescribed medicine for the symptoms of allergy you can take these medicines.
These medicines will control the symptoms but it is not going to cure your condition, you have to find out the reasons for your symptoms.
You need to test your blood sample for absolute eosinophill count, it will helps to know the presence of allergic reactions in the body.
To avoid the symptoms of asthma, you should not be exposed to the triggering factors which may be a dust, pollen or food. The allergen causing these symptoms should be avoided as for as possible.
If it is not possible to avoid the allergen you can consider taking of immunotherapy by consulting your doctor. For the present symptoms, you can take the medicines prescribed by your doctor.
