Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Asthma is itself a allergic disease due to cold or dust or pollens or grass etc irrespective of the triggering factor.Your chest sharp feeling or pain,breathlessness are here due to asthma episodes.

You can go for pulmonary function tests if not done.

Treatment is mainly symptomatic which might require inhalational steroids,beta agonists,anticholinergics as MDI or rotahaler as a regular treatment.

To decrease the inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles,you might be given oral antihistamines with mast cell stabilizers (montelukast) and steroids (prednisolone) with nebulization and frequently steam inhalation.

The best way to cure any allergy is a complete avoidance of allergen or triggering factor.

Consult your pulmonologist for thoroughly examination and above treatment.

Regards,
