Sample Pneumonia questions

Q1. What condition might be suspected if a child comes in with a chronic cough, no retractions, but diffuse wheezing during the expiratory phase of breathing?

  1. Foreign body aspiration
  2. Asthma

Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. Asthma

A chronic cough with diffuse expiratory wheezing and no retractions is characteristic of asthma, which narrows the lower airways. Croup causes inspiratory stridor, and foreign body aspiration usually causes localized findings.

  1. Croup
  2. Foreign body aspiration
  3. Pneumonia
  4. Asthma

Sudden onset of coughing and unilateral wheezing suggests aspiration of an object.
