Many possibilities: With these symptoms, your physician will assess further and may order a chest radiograph. If he is wheezing, a nebulized bronchodilator may be used to test whether he will respond to an inhaler. Providing your physician with information about your pregnancy, labor and delivery will be helpful. PRMG/Pediatrics will review records faxed to 858 259 9689
