A 5 year old patient is seen at your clinic and complains of "pain here", as he rubs his chest. His mother says that he has had
frequent bouts of coughing off and on for 3 weeks. He has not been as energetic as usual, which the mother says has been a relief at times, as he is normally a bit rambunctious. The mother and father are non smokers, but the boy stays with his grandmother while the parents are at work, and the grandmother is a heavy smoker.
