Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of allergic rhinitis and asthma is more.
You might be allergic to dust or pollens or pollution or smoke.
On exposure to this, you are getting sneezing (allergic rhinitis) and cough, wheezing (asthma).
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done
1. Clinical examination of respiratory system
2. Allergy testing for the identification of causative allergen.
3. PFT (pulmonary function test).
PFT will not only diagnose asthma but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only.
You will improve with inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
Oral combination of antihistamine and anti allergic drugs is also beneficial.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
