My brother was a severe asthmatic, starting when he was a toddler. My mum did everything possible to make his life easier. I believe the things she did saved his life because he would have surely died if she hadn't.
These are some of the things that were a part of my brother's daily life, in addition to heavy medications:
-no sugar
-no dairy
-no artificial food colourings
-no nuts
-no citrus
-no pets in the house; not even visiting the home of someone who had them
-no stuffed animals
-plastic mattress and pillow covers
-washing *all* bedding at least once a week
-no feather bedding (e.g. duvets)
-no clutter or toys that easily collect dust
-thorough dusting of every surface once a week with a damp cloth (no feather dusters)
-no carpets
Most of these things have to do with food allergies and controlling airborne particulates in the living space. One thing he never did that might have helped him, was use a neti-pot and an air purifier in his bedroom. Doing these sort of things may help improve your environment and reduce your suffering.
You should really see a medical doctor, if you haven't already. You can still be diagnosed with asthma, even if you've been screened cleared of it in the past.
Is it normal to have a runnynose 24/7?
