Mostly management of allergies is medical ... And yes it can precipitate into bronchial asthma ... Plz get a proper ent consult with examination of nose

Allergic Rhinitis and asthma often go hand in hand. Your symptoms point more towards allergic Rhinitis. AR can be controlled which also decreases the risk of developing asthma.
