Brief Answer:
nasal endoscopy with x-ray chest.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. The symptoms reported seem concerning and I will recommend that you see a doctor and get evaluated.
With such presentation, I would perform nasal endoscopy to rule out sinusitis where post nasal drip can cause broncho constriction and cough in allergic bronchitis individuals. If necessary, I also go for x-ray chest to see the depth of involved lungs.
As per your drug history, you have tried all anti allergic medications. vitamin D3 supplements are not the primary medications for allergic rhinitis or bronchitis, they, best works with combination with steroidal nasal sprays or other drugs like broncho dilators.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
