What Diseases Do Pediatric Pulmonology Specialists Treat?
Pediatric pulmonology addresses a wide range of respiratory system and thoracic cavity diseases and conditions in children. Pediatric pulmonologists specialize in diagnosing and treating various conditions, from respiratory infections to chronic respiratory diseases in children.
Here are some of the diseases treated by pediatric pulmonology:
- Asthma: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that causes difficulty breathing due to the narrowing and inflammation of the airways. It is particularly common in children.
- Upper Respiratory Infections: Flu, colds, and other upper respiratory infections are common illnesses in children, presenting symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, and sore throat.
- Bronchitis: Bronchitis is the inflammation of the airways called bronchi. In children, it often develops due to viral infections and can cause coughing, sputum production, and shortness of breath.
- Pneumonia (Pneumonitis): Pneumonia is an infection that results from inflammation of the lung tissue. Symptoms include fever, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest pain.
- Cystic Fibrosis: Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes thick and sticky secretions from the body's glands, affecting the respiratory system, digestive system, and other organs.
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A condition that causes pauses in breathing during sleep due to upper airway obstruction in children.
- Bronchiolitis: A condition usually resulting from respiratory infections, especially in infants, where the small bronchioles become inflamed and swollen.
- Childhood Interstitial Lung Diseases: Inflammatory or fibrotic conditions affecting lung tissue, which are rare but serious diseases in children.
