Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

Noted you have asthma ....
In which patient having hypersensitivity to allergen and so bronchoconstriction occurs which lead chest pain....

Here might have associate viral infection that can lead headache like constitutional symptom....

Steroid is antiinflammatory drug ....
So yes in acute attack it is useful for relieving inflammatory swelling....
So can be used...

If chest pain and dyspnea more by asthma then nebulization given by levosalbutamol and budesonide respules....

Meanwhile take healthy and balanced diet...

You can add two garlic cloves in milk and boiled it....
Allow it to cool and drink....

Hope your concern solved....

Try to keep minimum exposure to allergen...

Take care.
