[|AI|]  Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor.asthma is usually allergic in nature and it is better to avoid expo user to allergen. Sometimes viral infection produces asthma like illness and in such case patient get cured after over of viral attack .so you need not be worry as violent cough usually produces pain in the chest and pain disappeared few days after relief of cough. But you need to take some treatment for faster recovery of your child it should include expectorant and bronchodilator syrup, Multan syrup and antibiotic if required .you need to consult pediatrician for complete treatment. Hope you would be satisfied with my answer.  Feel free to communicate if any query.regards, Chat Doctor.
