Yes, I went to the doctor and he did a lung test on me where I had to inhale the exhale as hard as I could into a device, and it could measure the amount of air I had in my lungs (or some shit like that, I dunno! ahha) and determined that I had some pretty bad allergy-induced asthma. I was prescribed three medications: an asthma controller - Dulera, a steroidal nasal spray that I forget the name of, and Singulair. On top of that, I take Zyrtec daily. Now, I didn’t like that I had to take steroids daily, so I slowly weaned myself off that and no longer take it. The Dulera was just really expensive so I stopped taking that, too, although I should probably still be taking it. Welp.

My allergy/asthma was kind of extreme.. it made my throat burn, I coughed all day, and not being able to breathe actually WOKE me up at night until I went on meds.

The best thing you can do for yourself, is to get to the doctor.

HOWEVER, if you just have mild seasonal allergies, DO NOT go on medications if you can manage. I’m no doctor, but I feel that once you go on these medications, there’s no backing out and your body will have a much more difficult time dealing with allergies naturally in the future. It may take a year or two, but if you eat local (it has to be local) honey on a regular basis, you will be better able to cope with allergens.
