Question

"A golfer is experiencing problems with wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath during while on the golf course. He has normal respirations. His physical exam is within normal limits. What is the treatment of choice for this patient?"

Answer 1

Answer:

Short acting bronchodilator aka "rescue inhaler"

Explanation:

Depending on the patient's history, the patient may have exercise-induced dyspnea or exposure to outdoors may exacerbate allergies causing the symptoms. If this patient's history revealed this commonly happening, a leukotriene blocker (Singulair) could also be the answer with a rescue inhaler as well.
