Get examined patient by doctor.If on auscultation rhonchi heard then it is bronchospasm by obstructive condition like asthma or bronchitis.x ray and pulmonary function test useful for it.

If along with headache fever also present then chest x ray done for rule out any consolidation in lung.

Noted you have mentioned liver disease ...
