Paediatric Pulmonology
Pediatric Pulmonology is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating respiratory and lung conditions in children. Given that children’s bodies are still developing, they require specialized care to address issues affecting their lungs and breathing.
Pediatric pulmonologists are experts in managing respiratory conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. They diagnose and treat a range of respiratory illnesses, including asthma, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, and conditions affecting premature infants’ lungs. These specialists are also skilled in helping children manage chronic lung diseases and preventing long-term lung damage.
