Hi,

Asthma induces increased labor of muscles around ribs and that may be causing the pain. The pain can be managed by painkillers like paracetamol and also by the help of some pain killers ointment. The best way to get rid of it is by managing the asthma as the muscles will get rest if there is effortless breathing.

The cause of his face turning white or blue could be due to lack of proper oxygenation and is not related to the muscle pain. That also would get resolved by managing the asthma. The skin turning bluish is a significant and serious sign of asthma. I would advise you to take him to the hospital and get him treated for it at the earliest.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
