I was going to suggest you stay away from things you are allergic to………….but?? Kinda hard for you being surrounded by them all. An air purifier would be a good thing to have in your home.
Have you seen a doctor? I’m allergic to dogs, cats etc and I carry an Inhaler, Ventolin I think.
It clears my lungs very quickly. If you haven’t already got one I suggest you do. I carry mine with me at all times. You just never know.
All the best

I have allergies too, I take a over the counter anti histamine(sorry for spelling) and also a saline nasal rinse. I got a nasal spray from my gp. I bought special pillows/duvet/matress protector and i run a air cleaner in my bedroom 24/7. I was advised to wash fabrics at 60+. I noticed a huge difference after making a few changes.These may help you too! Good Luck
It’s always helpful to prevent asthma by avoiding allergens. You might not know it but dust mites are always in your house, especially during humid days, and it might help if you reduce their numbers by controlling your home’s humidity. No matter how clean you keep your house, dust mites always live in your home.
If you have pets, it will also help if you keep them away from where you usually linger. Pet hairs can trigger asthma too. Try to see if there are any sources of pollen or other things which could trigger your asthma.
In other words, preventing allergic asthma is all about knowing what triggers such allergic reaction, and try to control or avoid these.

Because preventing asthma is always better than its cure.
You know your allergen so first of all avoid it. Use mask . take controller medicine-inhalers(like aerocort) as per suggested by your doctor….keep bronchodilator inhaler for safety in case you get asthma attack. like asthalin inhaler.There are breathing exercise .do it make your airways strong.
That is all you have to do for the sake of your wellness. just help your self by taking precautions and medication.Regular medication may in future cure your problem completely. You will be fine in your routine life style.

Do not smoke or allow smoking in your home – Babies exposed to tobacco smoke are more likely to get asthma. If a woman is exposed to tobacco smoke during pregnancy, her baby may also be more likely to get asthma.
If animal dander is a problem for you, keep your pet out of the house or at least out of your bedroom, or find it a new home.
If pollen is a problem for you, if possible, stay indoors with the air conditioner on, when the pollen count is high. Do not run the air-conditioning, whether in car or indoors, on the setting that draws in outside air and cools it. Outside air brings with it pollen, and cool, pollinated air is bad for asthma.
To control dust mites, wash your sheets, blankets, pillows, and stuffed toys once a week in hot water. You can get special dust proof covers for your mattress and pillows.
If cold air bothers you, wear a scarf over your mouth and nose in the winter.
There are a number of highly effective herbal and homeopathic remedies that may be used for the successful treatment of asthma and other respiratory conditions. Depending on the severity of the asthma, natural remedies can either reduce or completely eliminate the need for the synthetic drugs and are often used in conjunction with conventional medications as a part of a holistic treatment plan.
Herbal ingredients such as Matricaria recutita and Astralagus are known for their antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, while homeopathic ingredients such as Mag. Phos. and Nat. Sulph are successful at easing chest and throat constriction and soothing mucous membranes while reducing the presence of phlegm in the chest. Used regularly, natural remedies can help improve respiratory health, reduce the incidence and severity of asthma attacks while strengthening the immune system.
