Question

Alex is a 4-year-old, who was recently diagnosed with asthma. Alex experiences coughing at night and during physical activities, which limits his participation. Alex's parents, June and Terry, are still coming to terms with the diagnosis and as such are inexperienced with dealing with Alex's asthma. One afternoon at around 4 pm, a thunderstorm passes over his house, and with June's aid, Alex inhales salbutamol to relieve his increasing wheeze and increase in respiratory rate. After the appropriate dosage of the drug using a puffer and spacer, Alex's symptoms fully subside after 20 minutes.

Choose either wheeze OR shortness of breath and explain the pathological changes that occur to cause the sign/ symptom you chose.
