Suggest Treatment For Shallow Breathing Due To Asthma

I live in California where it is hot and high pollen counts. My allergies have been bad the past couple of days. I have taken Claritin and Nasacort. Is there anything over the counter I can take for asthma, short/shallow breath? I feel like it s onset from the allergies.

See, asthma is itself a disease due to allergy so no question at all.
Now there are very good medicines like steroids, alpha adrenergic agonists, anticholinergics available in market in all formulations like inhalation, oral, injectables etc which can be effective within seconds even.
If u r really having shallow breathing then OTC drugs won't help,u will need of pulmonologist prescription for it.
And keep that inhaler in your pocket every time as no one knows when it would be required.
I find this answer helpful
