Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having Allergic rhino-bronchitis.
Examination of the nasal cavity by a nasal endoscope and X ray of the chest will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Management includes:
1. Asthalin & Seroflo inhaler- provide symptomatic relief from wheezing by causing broncho-dilation (dilating the smaller airway passages, relieving the obstruction & increasing airflow to lungs)
2.Antihistamine preparations like Allegra & Decongestant nasal drops for symptomatic relief.
3. Montelukast preparations- used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies.
4. A course of antibiotics may be taken to prevent secondary bacterial attack.
5. Maintain adequate hydration & take a healthy balance diet.
6. Also make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
