The medications do not predispose to COVID 19 infection. Asthmatics are generally not at increased risk for hospitalization. Your allergic rhinitis is under treatment, and a comprehensive allergy plan includes avoidance of potential triggers such as dust mites. Testing is available and may be ordered by Healthtap or your PCP as indicated. Watch for signs of shortness of breath, wheezing and cough.

The fact that you suffer from asthma puts you in a more likely group to have a more complicated Covid. Make sure you are completely vaccinated , weara mask and stay away from crowds Good Luck
