Brief Answer:
Please do some tests

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking in HCM.

I can understand your concern

According to the history you explain, you don't take any medications or have any other chronic disease.
If you we're my patient i will recommend you to do some tests as follows :

Hemogram
Prick tests
Specific IgE
Pneumoalergens
The examination of the defecation sample for parasites

After getting the results your doctor will prescribe you the proper treatment which probably will be an antihistamine drug (Xyzal),maybe corticosteroids (depending of the situation ),and/or antiparasitic drugs.
But please discuss with your doctor for your complaints .

After the exact treatment you will see improvement in your situation.
