Hello Aziz,
You have persistent rhinitis that could be allergic and a complete allergen (aeroallergen) profile needs to be done (by skin prick test or specific IgE blod test) to arrive at a diagnosis.
House dust mite or animal dander allergy would be top on the list reading your symptoms and a long acting antihistamine plus a nasal corticosteroid spray for a minimum of 6 weeks is required as an initial treatment plan (even for non-allergic rhinitis).
Thanks.

You are suffering from allergy. Asthma is a type of allergy amd from your description it appears that you do have mild intermittent asthma. You may take inhalers like asthalin or aerocort, a monteleukast and an antihistaminic. Consult a pulmonologist who can regularize your medication.
