Respiratory history 2
Written by Leya Bedar
Diagnosis:
Asthma (episodic cough, SOB, wheeze, atopy, family history of atopy, recently got a pet – common trigger)
Other differentials:
Bronchiectasis (cough producing mucus, less likely due to atopic features and no identifiable risk factors)
Interstitial lung disease (possible due to non-productive cough and link to triggers but less likely to due to lack of gradual progressive onset, and no clear risk factors)
