You might be suffering from allergic airway disorder which may require treatment with anti Histamine medicines and steroid bronchodialator inhalers for long term benefits. There is no permanent cure for this condition and physical exercises can be of some benefit
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or pulmonologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
