Pediatric Pulmonology is a specialized field dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and managing respiratory issues in infants, children, and adolescents. Our commitment to state-of-the-art facilities and a patient-centric approach ensures the optimal health of every child we serve.
Paediatric Pulmonology is a subspecialty of paediatrics that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory disorders in children. Young patients often have unique respiratory needs due to their developing lungs, airways, and immune systems. Paediatric Pulmonologists are experts in understanding and managing these distinctive requirements.
The Paediatric Pulmonology department at Dhee Hospital is equipped to address a wide spectrum of respiratory conditions in children, including but not limited to:
One of the most common respiratory conditions in children, asthma causes airway inflammation and constriction, leading to symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
Inflammation of the bronchial tubes can lead to acute or chronic bronchitis, resulting in coughing, mucus production, and chest discomfort.
An infection of the lungs, pneumonia can cause symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing.
A genetic disorder that affects the respiratory and digestive systems, leading to thick mucus production and recurrent lung infections.
Premature infants may develop CLDP, characterized by ongoing respiratory issues.
Recurrent Respiratory Infections: Some children are prone to frequent respiratory infections, which may require evaluation and management.
Allergic conditions, such as allergic rhinitis, can exacerbate respiratory symptoms.
Congenital Lung Conditions: Some children are born with congenital lung conditions that require specialized care.
Conditions like obstructive sleep apnea can affect a child’s sleep quality and daytime functioning.
Young children may accidentally inhale foreign objects, which can lead to respiratory distress.
Understanding a child’s medical history, including family history, is essential for diagnosis.
A comprehensive physical examination is performed to assess breathing, lung function, and overall health.
Lung function tests are conducted to measure how well the lungs are working, especially in older children.
Imaging studies like chest X-rays are used to visualize the lungs and identify abnormalities.
Advanced imaging may be required to assess complex cases or congenital conditions.
In some cases, a bronchoscopy, which involves a tiny camera inserted into the airways, may be necessary to diagnose and treat certain conditions.
Our department is equipped with advanced technology and infrastructure to deliver the highest quality of care. From state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to child-friendly examination rooms, we have created an ambience that caters to the specific needs of our young patients.
