Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should consult allergist (allergy specialist) and get done
1. CBC with absolute eosinophil count (AEC)
2. Serum total IgE
3. PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
CBC with AEC and IgE are specific tests for allergy.
PFT is to rule out asthma.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
