| | Auscultation - Wheeze |
 | | If the child consistently wheezes in response to certain environmental irritants (e.g., animal fur, dust, pollens), foods, weather changes, exercise, smoking, viral infections, or emotional upset, you might be pointed in the direction of asthma as your diagnosis. | | | The physical exam of wheezing should include auscultation of the chest, both with the naked ear and the stethoscope. | | | If the wheezing appears to be coming only from a specific part of the chest suspect a foreign body aspiration or external compression of the airway. |

| | The first attack of wheeze in a child more than one year of age indicates that the child will probably have further attacks of wheeze (and be diagnosed as asthma) and the label of possible asthma is recommended. | | | There is hyperexpansion of the chest, chest indrawing, nasal flaring and suprasternal recession. | | | The WHO Programme also recognizes that the clinical presentation of wheeze (usually due to either bronchiolitis or asthma) has considerable overlap with that of pneumonia. |
