This is a chronic respiratory condition which impacts the airways and causes them to become inflamed. It is accompanied by wheezes, shortness of breath and coughing.
Previously known as hay fever, this condition is very common among children and directly affects the nasal region of the child. It causes congestion, stuffy noses, and sneezing. It is usually caused by allergens like pollen and dust.
Another common respiratory condition among children impacts the bronchial tubes in their lungs. It causes chest infections, which are combined with coughing and mucus production.
These severe conditions cause inflammation of the lungs. This results in the child facing issues such as a fever, cough, and symptoms like rapid breathing. It also causes severe chest pain in children.
While this is not very common in children, recurrent infections in the chest can be a warning sign of a weak immune system or the development of chronic respiratory conditions.
Some children face issues in their respiratory system, which causes them to create a high-pitched sound while breathing. This is often caused by the narrowed airways and can be connected with allergic asthma.

These are used to identify common allergens like dust and pollen, which affect a child. They include the skin prick method, the patch method, and the IgE blood test method.
This involves procedures such as peak flow monitoring and Spirometers. These are done to measure the breathing capacity and severity of the asthma issue.
These are mostly used to inform the presence of asthma or assess the sensitivity of the airway. It involves methacholine and exercise challenges, which make the lungs function rapidly for accurate diagnosis.
To check the inflammation, Dr Singh uses the FeNO (Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide) test, which effectively assesses the narrow space of the airway.
This involves the use of a nasal endoscope to look into the nasal passage and the health of the sinuses.
To diagnose allergies related to food, Dr Brahma Dev uses methods such as oral food challenges and elimination diet practices under his supervision.
This is a detailed lung health analysis, which is very effective in diagnosing any chronic condition severely affecting the lungs.
In case there is a need for desensitisation, Dr Brahma Dev uses these methods to reduce allergic reactions and eventually remove them completely.
