Your chest hurts ne­ar the heart area. Many cause­s exist: heartburn, muscle strain, anxie­ty. Observe other symptoms like­ breathing issues or sweating. Se­vere or recurring pain warrants me­dical attention. Ignoring it risks danger. Doctors can evaluate­ safely.

if this is bronchitis, the problem is that there may be some swelling inside her lungs’ airways. It causes coughing, mucus and sometimes fever too. Give her lots of water to drink and let her have enough bed rest. Additionally, consider buying an OTC cough syrup with dextromethorphan for her. This will relieve the irritation in the throat making the cough less frequent and more productive. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label without consulting a doctor or pharmacist first. 

It is advisable not to discontinue steroids abruptly without consulting your doctor as it leads to withdrawal symptoms. Please visit your doctor for any worries about the medication and they will give you a professional advice. If you happen to need a respiratory problem specialist, visit a pulmonologist.
