The caregivers of an 8-year-old bring their child to the pediatrician and report that the child has not had breathing problems before, but since taking up lacrosse, the child has been coughing and wheezing at the end of every practice and game.

B) corticosteroids and leukotriene inhibitors.
C) removal of allergens in the home and school.
D) a bronchodilator and mast cell stabilizers.
