Paediatric Pulmonology

Overview

Paediatric pulmonologists diagnose and treat long-term or complex breathing problems in children, from asthma to chronic lung disease of prematurity.

Who it may help

• Children with asthma or recurrent wheeze
• Children with long-lasting cough or repeated chest infections
• Children with cystic fibrosis or lung disease after premature birth
• Children with snoring or breathing problems during sleep

What the service includes

Lung function tests, chest imaging, inhaler training, sleep studies, bronchoscopy and long-term management plans.

What to expect

Bring your child's inhalers and spacers to visits. An action plan helps you manage flare-ups at home.
