Pediatric Respiratory

At Wellcare, our teleconsultation service provides expert care for pediatric respiratory issues, offering convenient and comprehensive solutions from the comfort of your home. If your child is struggling with respiratory problems such as chronic cough, asthma, or lung disease, our specialized pediatric pulmonologists are here to assist you. Our team of experienced doctors is dedicated to managing both acute and chronic respiratory conditions for children from infancy to young adulthood.

• Chronic Cough: Persistent coughing that may require further evaluation.
• Breathing Difficulties: Includes wheezing and labored breathing, particularly during physical activity or at night.
• Recurrent Pneumonia: Frequent lung infections that need continuous management.
• Asthma: Chronic inflammation of the airways causing wheezing and difficulty breathing.
• Cystic Fibrosis: A genetic disorder affecting the lungs and digestive system.
• Sleep Apnea: Periods of interrupted breathing during sleep.
• Chronic Lung Disease in Premature Infants: Ongoing lung issues in babies born prematurely.
• Stridor: A high-pitched breathing sound indicating potential airway obstruction.
• Monitoring Devices: Use of special equipment or home ventilators for ongoing respiratory conditions.

Children's bodies are different from adults'—they are growing and have unique medical needs. Respiratory issues in children can be complex and may not always be clearly communicated. If your pediatrician or family doctor recommends seeing a pediatric pulmonologist, you can trust that your child will receive the best possible care.
