Two months of asthma exacerbation means that you probably need to be taking regular steroid inhalers to control symptoms and prevent attacks. Anti-histamines are not really part of the initial treatment of asthma, although there are some people with clear allergy-induced asthma who do get some benefit. Steroids taken by mouth are usually only for asthma "attacks". If you are feeling tight then it would also be reasonable to take a reliever (B2 agonist - albuterol, albuterol) inhaler as necessary for temporary relief until you get the symptoms under better control. Remember that using a spacer with a "puffer" metered dose inhaler is crucial to ensure effectiveness. (or alternatively a Chat Doctor.  In any case, it's best to manage asthma under the direction of a family or respiratory physician, at least until you have formulated together a clear management plan.
