Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Your symptoms suggests me that you may be having allergy to some pollen, which is causing all these problems.
I would advise to test for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) to confirm the presence of allergic reaction and then you can proceed with the skin prick test for the most prevalent pollen in your garden.

If you identify the pollen causing these symptoms you can avoid these pollen and protect yourself from getting allergic reactions.
For your present symptoms you can take combination of antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer like Tab Montek LC.
Thank you.
