A Pediatric Pulmonologist specializes in diagnosing and treating lung, breathing and airway disorders in infants, children and adolescents. This includes asthma, chronic cough, recurrent pneumonia, wheezing, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, sleep-related breathing disorders and rare lung diseases.

You should consult a specialist if your child has recurrent wheezing, chronic cough lasting more than four weeks, frequent chest infections, recurrent pneumonia, noisy breathing, snoring, sleep-related breathing problems or difficult-to-control asthma.

No. Most coughs in children are caused by viral infections and improve without antibiotics. Persistent or recurrent cough may require evaluation to identify underlying conditions such as asthma, allergies, reflux or other lung diseases.

Yes. With the right diagnosis, medications, trigger avoidance and regular follow-up, most children with asthma can live completely normal, active lives.

We offer skin prick testing, allergy evaluation, individualized allergy management plans and allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) for selected patients.

Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows examination of a child's airways using a flexible camera. It is recommended for persistent cough, recurrent pneumonia, suspected foreign body aspiration, airway abnormalities and unexplained lung diseases.

Regular snoring, mouth breathing, restless sleep or pauses in breathing may indicate obstructive sleep apnea. Early evaluation is important because untreated sleep disorders can affect growth, learning and overall health.

Yes. Depending on the child's age and condition, pulmonary function tests such as Spirometry, Impulse Oscillometry (IOS/FOT) and FeNO testing are available.

Please bring previous medical records, vaccination records (if relevant), X-rays, CT scans, laboratory reports, current medications and previous allergy or lung function test reports.
