Paediatric pneumology
Our children's pulmonology specialists provide thorough care to babies and children who have lung and respiratory problems. These problems can be the result of premature birth, exposure to viruses or a weaker immune system. You can also come to us for the treatment of allergic or non-allergic asthma.
Possible complaints or indicators
How we work
- During an initial consultation, we map out the child's complaints. If necessary, we perform additional examinations or tests, such as allergy tests, chest X-rays, blood tests, lung function tests or research into undetected reflux.
- After we have made the diagnosis, we explain the child's disorder as well as the treatment we propose in detail to the parents.
- We have weekly consultations with the Paediatric Lung Disease Department at Ghent University Hospital.
