Hi,
Chest pain could be because of bronchitis(allergic or infective),pertussis, seasonal asthma etc.
You may undergo routine blood count,ESR with X- ray chest and pulmonary function test.
You must consult your pulmonologist to get diagnosed first and then treatment.
Asthma is itself a allergic disease due to cold or dust or pollens or grass etc irrespective of the triggering factor.
Treatment is mainly symptomatic which might require inhalational steroids,beta receptor agonists,anticholinergics as MDI or rotahaler as a regular treatment.
To decrease the inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles,you might be given oral antihistamines with mast cell stabilizers(montelukast) and steroids (prednisolone) with nebulization and frequently steam inhalation.
The best way to cure any allergy is a complete avoidance of allergen or triggering factor.
Consult your pulmonologist.
