A member asked:

Dr. Al Hegab answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Costochondritis: isn't directly affected by asthma, although asthma flares and the cough that ensues may mechanically exacerbate the inflammation, so pain killers as acetaminophen or NSAIDs, if they don't affect your asthma, may be used to control the symptoms, wish you well
