Growing up, children are exposed to countless germs. As a result, most children experience an infection once a year. Most of these will be mild and pass quickly. Still, treating symptoms is vital to ensure continued health.

The Upper Respiratory System

This includes four areas: the sinuses, nose, mouth, and throat. They work together to warm and clean the air we breathe. But, they are also the most vulnerable to infection in children. If you see signs like runny nose, fever, or coughing, seek out a specialist. Early treatment will clear symptoms up. If left alone, the infection could lead to loss of appetite, sleeping problems, and low energy.

The Lower Respiratory System

The lower respiratory system has two parts: the lungs and bronchial tubes. These organs supply oxygen to your bloodstream. Though they are infected less often when they are, it is more severe. A qualified specialist is necessary for treating any related symptoms, especially for children.

Look for symptoms like shallow breathing, coughing, and high fever. Treated quickly, an infection can be managed. But left alone, it could lead to more serious conditions like pneumonia.

Dr. Shukla’s top-qualified pediatric pulmonary care in Manhattan treats both upper and lower respiratory problems in children. With years of expertise and cutting-edge treatment, he provides the best care available for your children.

Pneumonia

The first step in combatting pneumonia is early detection. Symptoms include coughing, congestion, and fever. For infants, watch for decreased feeding. At the first sign, seek out a specialist for immediate treatment.

Asthma

If your child is having difficulty breathing, then they may have asthma. This condition is marked by inflamed and constricted airways, making breathing uneven or shallow. It is prevalent in children and challenging to diagnose.

Common Symptoms Include:

Difficulty or labored breathing
Persistent wheezing
Chest pain
Decreased energy
Rapid breathing
Panic or anxiety

Even though there is no cure, this condition can be managed with medication and awareness. With Dr. Shukla’s guidance and care, he aims to create effective plans for managing your child’s chronic asthma.

Bronchiolitis

This is a viral infection most prevalent in younger children from birth to two years. They can experience mucous in their lungs and inflamed airways. If you notice persistent coughing or wheezing, seek out a pediatric pulmonologist immediately.
