The Upper Respiratory System

This includes four areas: the nose, sinuses, mouth, and throat. Together, these work to clean the air we breathe. But, these areas are vulnerable to infection in children. Runny nose, fever, and coughing are common symptoms. Early treatment usually clears everything up. If it progresses, it can lead to low energy, loss of appetite, and sleeping problems.

The Lower Respiratory System

This has two parts: the lungs and bronchial tubes. These organs are vital for moving oxygen into the bloodstream. They are infected less often. However, when they are, the symptoms are more severe. A qualified specialist is needed to treat them. This is especially the case for children.

To avoid further problems, you’ll need early detection and treatment. Watch out for coughing, shallow breaths, and high fever. When left untreated, infections could result in pneumonia.

Dr. Shukla’s top-qualified pediatric pulmonary care in Brooklyn treats both upper and lower respiratory problems in children. With expertise and innovative treatments, he provides the best care possible.

Pneumonia

Telltale signs of this infection include coughing, congestion, and fever. In infants, you also can see decreased feeding. It is caused by either bacteria or viruses. So, it is vital to treat it early to prevent further problems.

Asthma

Asthma is marked by inflamed airways and difficulty breathing. It is quite prevalent in children and can be hard to diagnose. Catching it early makes managing it much easier.

Common Symptoms Include:

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

There is no cure yet. But, there are plenty of ways to keep it under control. With his unique training, Dr. Shukla’s can provide an effective plan for helping your child’s chronic asthma.

Bronchiolitis

Young children and infants are vulnerable to this viral infection. Most often, it occurs in the first two years after birth. Their airways become inflamed, and their lungs fill with mucous. The result is coughing and wheezing. As with other illnesses, treating it early on provides the best results.
