Cold: Colds are often a trigger for asthma. See your doctor and review your symptoms and have your chest examined. You may be having an asthma flare up.

Breathing problem?: Viral infection especially from rhinovirus is the most common trigger for asthma exacerbation. If you are having breathing problem, you need to see a doctor ASAP.

Chest wall pain: It is not uncommon to develop chest wall pain after bronchitis due to inflammation. An anti-inflammatory and dextromethorphan may help. If symptoms persist, see your physician.
