Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query symptoms of cold and cough in a person with asthma could be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection/lung infection. It could be sinusitis as headache seems to be due to sinus infection. Need not to worry. Drink plenty of fluids to rehydrate yourself. You should take cough expectorants as well. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles and betadine gargles alternatively , avoid eating spicy and heavy food. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test and blood test .Doctor may prescribe antiviral along with anti inflammatory Levocetirizine.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
