Pediatric Pulmonology

About this specialty

Pediatric pulmonology is the pediatric subspecialty that diagnoses and treats breathing and lung disorders in children. These conditions range from mild to severe and include asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia and long-term lung diseases that can affect a child's daily activities. Children with frequent coughing, wheezing or recurring chest infections often benefit from a specialist evaluation.

Pediatric pulmonologists have additional training in children's respiratory health and work together with allergists, pediatricians and physiotherapists. Diagnosis often includes lung function tests and imaging. Families visiting Turkey receive a practical management plan that helps children stay active at home and at school.
