Understanding Wheezing in Children
Wheezing is a high‑pitched whistling sound during breathing, often caused by narrowed or obstructed airways. In children, it is a common symptom of respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchiolitis, allergies, or airway infections. Recurrent wheezing can interfere with sleep, play, and overall quality of life.
At Dr. Puja Chaudhary's paediatric pulmonology clinic, we provide a systematic, child‑friendly approach to diagnose and treat wheezing disorders. We focus on identifying the root cause, reducing symptom frequency, and empowering families with practical management strategies.
Our Wheezing Care Program Includes:
- Detailed Clinical Evaluation: Thorough history and physical examination to differentiate between viral‑induced wheeze, asthma, and other causes.
- Advanced Diagnostic Tools: Spirometry, exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), and allergy testing to assess airway inflammation and triggers.
- Personalized Medication Plans: Tailored use of bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, and leukotriene modifiers as needed.
- Inhaler & Spacer Training: Hands‑on demonstrations to ensure proper delivery of inhaled medications.
- Trigger Identification & Avoidance: Guidance on managing common triggers like allergens, smoke, weather changes, and respiratory infections.
- Wheeze Action Plan: A clear written plan to help caregivers recognize early signs and take prompt action.
- Ongoing Monitoring & Support: Regular follow‑ups to adjust treatment as your child grows and their condition evolves.
