Hi welcome to HCM....
Noted you have chest pain...and known case for asthma......
So you might have repeated bronchoconstriction by asthma that is allergic response....
You are treated with antibiotic for infection..
Now your asthma might need maintainance inhaler by formetetol plus budesonide low dose inhaler....
Asthma like allergic condition here is cause for chest pain...
If needed chest x ray and PFT done....
If dyspnea severe nebulization can be given..
Take care.....Dr.Parth
