Paediatric Pulmonology

A pediatric pulmonologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating respiratory (lung) problems in babies, children, and adolescents. They are specially trained to understand the unique features of a child's developing respiratory system and the specific conditions that can affect them. 

What does a pediatric pulmonologist do:

Diagnose and treat common childhood respiratory conditions, such as asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis.

Manage chronic respiratory conditions, such as congenital heart disease, sleep apnea, and neuromuscular disorders.

Perform procedures such as bronchoscopy and lung biopsies to diagnose lung problems.

Provide education and counseling to parents and families about how to manage their child's respiratory condition.

 They work with other specialists, such as pediatricians, allergists, and surgeons, to provide comprehensive care for children with respiratory problems.
