What is Pediatric Pulmonology?
Pediatric Pulmonology is a specialized branch of pediatrics that deals with lung, airway, and breathing disorders in children, from newborns to teenagers. Children’s lungs are different from adults, and early treatment plays a critical role in preventing long-term complications.
At Shishuka, our pediatric pulmonologists manage both acute respiratory illnesses and chronic lung conditions, with a strong focus on asthma care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pediatric asthma is a chronic lung condition in children where the airways become inflamed and narrow, leading to symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and breathing difficulty. With proper treatment and monitoring, most children can live normal, active lives.
Common symptoms of asthma in children include:
- Frequent coughing, especially at night
- Wheezing or whistling sound while breathing
- Shortness of breath during play or exercise
- Chest tightness
- Recurrent chest infections
If these symptoms occur repeatedly, a pediatric pulmonologist consultation is recommended.
Asthma can be diagnosed at any age, including infancy. While diagnosis in very young children can be challenging, experienced pediatric pulmonologists use clinical history, response to treatment, and age-appropriate tests to identify asthma early.
Asthma is not permanently curable, but it is highly controllable. With the right medications, trigger avoidance, and regular follow-ups, most children experience long symptom-free periods and lead a healthy, active life.
Common asthma triggers include:
- Dust, pollen, and indoor allergens
- Air pollution and smoke
- Cold air and weather changes
- Viral infections (cold, flu)
- Physical exertion without proper control
- Strong smells and chemicals
Identifying and avoiding triggers is a key part of asthma management.
Yes. Asthma inhalers are safe and effective when used as prescribed. They deliver medicine directly to the lungs in very low doses, reducing side effects compared to oral medications. Long-term inhaler use helps prevent asthma attacks and hospital visits.
Some children need daily controller inhalers to keep asthma under control, while others may only require inhalers during symptoms. Your pediatric pulmonologist will create a personalized asthma action plan based on your child’s condition.
Absolutely. With proper asthma control, children can run, play, and participate in sports just like other children. In fact, regular physical activity improves lung strength when asthma is well managed.
You should consult a pediatric pulmonologist if your child has:
- Recurrent wheezing or chronic cough
- Frequent breathing difficulty
- Poor response to regular asthma treatment
- Repeated hospitalizations or nebulizations
- Suspicion of long-term lung disease
Early specialist care helps prevent complications.
Depending on the child’s age, doctors may perform:
- Pulmonary function tests (PFTs)
- Clinical evaluation and symptom tracking
- Allergy assessment
- Chest imaging if required
All tests are child-safe and age appropriate.
Yes, many children experience reduced symptoms as they grow older, especially with early diagnosis and proper treatment. However, regular follow-ups are important to monitor lung health.
Parents can help by:
