The health of the respiratory system is a particularly sensitive topic in childhood. Frequent colds, persistent cough, shortness of breath, or allergies can affect not only a child’s physical condition but also sleep, activity, and the overall well-being of the entire family. At Diagnostic Center “Heart,” we offer specialized pediatric pulmonology consultations—for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of respiratory issues in children from infancy to adolescence.

We combine experience, modern equipment, and a gentle approach to provide the best care for frequent infections, asthma, allergic conditions, and other pulmonary difficulties.

What is pediatric pulmonology?

Pediatric pulmonology focuses on diseases of the respiratory system—the nose, throat, trachea, bronchi, and lungs—in children. The specialist evaluates the condition of the airways, the frequency and duration of symptoms, and the response to treatment in cases of recurring complaints.

At Diagnostic Center “Heart,” we offer consultations for suspected asthma, bronchitis, frequent pneumonias, allergies, and other respiratory conditions, aiming for long-term improvement and prevention of complications.

When should you consult a pediatric pulmonologist?

A consultation is recommended in the presence of the following symptoms or conditions:

• Recurring or persistent cough
• Cough that worsens at night or during physical exertion
• Shortness of breath, rapid breathing, or wheezing
• Frequent bronchitis, pneumonia, or respiratory tract infections
• Asthma or suspected asthma
• Allergic rhinitis with breathing difficulties
• Recurrent throat or tonsil infections
• Sleep apnea or snoring in children
• Reduced physical endurance, easy fatigue during play
• Children with a family history of allergies or lung diseases

What does the pediatric pulmonologist treat and monitor?

At our center, we diagnose, treat, and follow up on:

• Asthma and bronchial hyperresponsiveness
• Acute and chronic bronchitis
• Pneumonia and other bacterial lung infections
• Frequent viral infections with lower respiratory complications
• Allergic conditions with pulmonary manifestations
• Obstructive bronchitis
• Respiratory insufficiency
• Wheezing and breathing difficulties in infants and toddlers
• Chronic cough of unclear origin
• Sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders

What to expect during a pediatric pulmonology consultation?

The examination begins with a detailed discussion with the parents about the symptoms, frequency of illnesses, response to previous treatments, and family history. It is followed by:

• Clinical examination with lung auscultation
• Assessment of breathing and oxygen saturation (if necessary)
• For older children – measurement of lung volume and airway patency (spirometry)
• Ordering of appropriate tests:
  • Blood tests (including allergy panels)
  • Chest X-ray (if needed)
  • Throat or nasal swab analysis
  • If allergy is suspected – referral for skin testing

After the consultation, parents receive clear guidance on treatment, symptom control, and home care strategies.
