Respiratory Health Care FAQs
Helpful information for parents and caregivers concerned about your child’s breathing or respiratory health.
What is paediatric Respiratory Health care?
Paediatric respiratory care focuses on assessing and managing breathing-related concerns in children and adolescents. Parents can discuss symptoms such as persistent cough, wheezing, breathing difficulties and recurring respiratory illnesses.
What respiratory symptoms should I discuss with a paediatrician?
Parents can discuss symptoms such as persistent or recurring cough, wheezing, noisy breathing, breathing difficulties, exercise-related symptoms or respiratory symptoms that interfere with sleep or daily activities.
Is coughing common in children?
Coughing can occur with many childhood illnesses. However, a cough that persists, repeatedly returns or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms may require medical assessment.
What is wheezing?
Wheezing is a type of breathing sound that may occur when air moves through narrowed airways. If your child has recurring wheezing or other breathing symptoms, it is appropriate to discuss them with a healthcare professional.
Can respiratory symptoms affect my child's sleep?
Some respiratory symptoms may interfere with sleep. If coughing, breathing difficulties or other symptoms regularly disturb your child’s sleep, parents should discuss this with their paediatrician.
When should I seek urgent medical attention?
If a child is having significant difficulty breathing, appears severely unwell, has unusual colour changes such as blue or grey lips or face, or you are seriously concerned about their breathing, seek urgent medical attention rather than waiting for a routine consultation.
