Hello
Welcome to healthcare
You can try steam inhalation, if you feel better then it can be asthma, though it is not the treatment nor it is specific.
also that asthma exacerbates in cold whether and at nights. Get spirometry done, it will tell you what you have.
Start inhalers in consultation with your doctor
