Hi. My 13 Y/o Daughter Experienced SOB With Chest Pain

Hi. My 13 y/o daughter experienced SOB with chest pain while playing basketball. she was seen in the ER and the physician stated her chest xray showed air in the lungs which is similar to asthma. She's never experienced this until now. she was relieved after receiving an albuterol treatment and motrin. The physician stated it could be exercised induced asthma or allergy induced. she was cleared to play basketball and she experienced the same symptoms while playing again tonite. I plan to take her to see her primary care physician tomorrow. what should I ask and can she continue to play. she's very active and never experienced this while playing soccer and running track. please advise.
