Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your sons situation and problem. Possibility of lower respiratory tract infection (LETI - pneumonia) is more in his case. Asthma patients are at increased risk of lung Infection and his symptoms like cough with phlegm, cold extremities, hot torso etc. are commonly seen in pneumonia. So better to consult pediatrician and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray. Chest x-ray is needed for the diagnosis of pneumonia. He may need antibiotics, antihistamines and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Intravenous fluids are also needed. So consult pediatrician and discuss all these. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
