I'm really worried because I've been having some issues with my chest and neck feeling tight, and it's gotten worse. Now I'm experiencing chest pain and having a hard time swallowing. I'm 13, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

My son has been diagnosed with the early stages of pneumonia and asthma. We've been told to use Asthalene and Budocret inhalers for him. Is it safe for a 4-year-old to use these inhalers? How long do you think he'll need to use them for his condition to improve? He's also currently taking Montair 5 mg and Zecom syrup. Would love some guidance on this.
