What Should Be Done For Having Trouble In Breathing Along With Raw Cough?

I m a teenager and recently, I ve been having trouble breathing. My throat is sore and feels raw from coughing a lot, my ribs hurt when I breathe deeply and I struggle to breathe - I have fits where I end up gasping for breathe (it feel) and keep coughing. I do have asthma and have used my inhaler and can feel the effects of that, but doesn t seem to be effecting my shortness of breathe (which is also making me feel very weak and light-headed - struggle to stand). I ve also been quite ill lately. What s going on? What should I do?
