Pediatric Pulmonology

Paediatric pulmonology treats breathing problems in children. Asthma is the most common long-term illness in childhood and is well controlled with correctly used inhalers and trigger avoidance.

Fast or laboured breathing, chest indrawing or bluish lips are emergencies. Vaccination against pneumonia and flu protects children.
