Hi,
Here,your breathlessness and cough could be due to acute bronchitis for which you are taking doxolin,monticope and syrup brozedexx are good but you may also need antibiotics (quinolones or macrolides or cephalosporins or amoxicillin with clavulanic acid).
Seasonal Asthma is itself a allergic disease due to cold or dust or pollens or grass etc irrespective of the triggering factor.
You can go for pulmonary function tests if not done.
Treatment is mainly symptomatic which might require inhalational drugs (steroids,beta receptor agonists like salbutamol or terbutaline,anticholinergics like ipratropium bromide or aminophylline) as MDI or rotahaler as a regular treatment.
To decrease the inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles,you might be given oral antihistamines with mast cell stabilizers(montelukast) and steroids (prednisolone) with nebulization and frequently steam inhalation.
The best way to cure any allergy is a complete avoidance of allergen or triggering factor.
Consult your pulmonologist for further advise.
Thanks.
