Are Itchy Throat Followed By Cough And Watery Eyes A Cause For Concern?

I am having allergy issues for 3 weeks now. Starts with an itchy throat, then immediately I ll cough and my left eye will start watering like crazy (the right eye just a little bit). I blow my nose to avoid coughing and it will let up after a minute. If I m at home I can hack up clear flem and spit it out. That helps a lot. I ve been taking generic Allegra-D every day for years... now I ve been also taking Benedryl and Mucinex. It s all a quick fix, but it doesn t seem to be going away. I know what s wrong, just running out of options to fix it. My question is should I try a nasal spray, or is this symptoms of something more serious and I should go to the doctor? Oh and I m also on an inhaler (Ventolin HFA) - prescribed in January 2016. It s take as needed . I ve been using it about once a day, some days twice. I don t like it because it makes me shaky. As of now my lungs feel fine, no congestion, but can still feel the wheezing. Just sick of being sick.
