A 26-year-old man with an eight-year history of asthma has shortness of breath and cough
about three times a week. He wheezes routinely with exercise, but his asthma does not
usually bother him at night. Office spirometry shows that the forced expiratory volume in one
second is 85 percent of his predicted value. How should he be treated?
