The symptoms you report (itchy throat and
nose for 4-5 years) in combination with
your preexisting condition (asthma) and
data about allergy to dust and animals
make it likely that you could be
experiencing a chronic inflammation of the
nose and throat probably caused by
allergy. You can request
inhalation-corticosteroids to calm
inflammation and you can also avoid all
the substances that can cause allergy. In
the meantime, you can chew/spray/take oral
antiseptics and deodorants for treating
the bad smell from the mouth.
