Hi everyone

On Exam Doctor noticed abnormal sound (like crackle) and Assessment and plan he gave Rx for Albuterol. Can some one give me a DX code. I tried to look under Abnormal lung field I could not find anything.

thank you
 
just a suggestion

Sorry, don't have my dx manual at home, but I would suggest talking to the doctor and ask him if it can be considered wheezing "Crackles and rales" are sometimes referred to when a patient has congestion of some kind. I usually have a couple code flagged in my manual and then have the doc, choose the correct one.
