It seems you are suffering from upper respiratory tract infection and in view of history of asthma and a smoker till recently your symptoms may be worse. Take antibiotic azithral500 once a day for 5 to 7 days. You may take loratadine or cetrizine and do some nebulization with asthalin and budecort. I hope your asthma is under control otherwise you may have to start your inhalers.
