Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Your history and symptoms suggests me that you are having upper respiratory tract infection (URI). It may be due to allergy or viral infection of the respiratory tract. As you are having these symptoms for few months know, you need to test your blood for absolute eosinophil count (AEC), this will help us to know whether you are having any allergic reaction. The allergic symptoms tend to continue for longer period of time because of frequent exposure to the allergen. I suggest you to identify the allergen causing these symptoms by skin prick test and try to avoid them. If you are not able to avoid those allergens, you can take immunotherapy by consulting your doctor. Thank you.
