Respiratory Care

Respiratory illness and diseases are common during childhood. It is important to get respiratory issues checked out by a doctor as soon as possible, as many of them can get worse over time. At Village Pediatric Group in Tuckahoe, New York, our board-certified pediatricians routinely diagnose and treat respiratory conditions in children of all ages.

Here’s a closer look at some of the most common respiratory illnesses our physicians treat.

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic lung disease often triggered by allergies and exertion. Symptoms include wheezing, trouble breathing, and coughing.

Bronchitis

Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchial tubes — the breathing tubes that go into the lungs. Symptoms include wheezing, runny nose, fever and chills, fatigue, chest pain, congestion, and sore throat.

Croup

Croup commonly affects children under four. It’s a virus that causes swelling in the windpipe and voice box. Symptoms include a husky voice, wheezing, and a deep, distinctive cough.

Influenza

Influenza, or flu, is a severe virus that can result in hospitalization. It causes high fever, chills, muscle aches, cough, runny nose, congestion, and fatigue. Some children experience gastric problems, too.

RSV

RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) is an infection that typically affects children under five. Children who are born prematurely, have chronic lung or heart disease, or have weak immune systems are particularly at risk. Early signs include a wheezing cough, a runny nose, and a loss of appetite.

Sinusitis

Sinusitis occurs when fluid builds up in the void behind the nose and eyes, which become infected. Symptoms include pain and pressure around the eyes and nose, congestion, coughing, and runny nose.

Strep throat

Strep throat is a bacterial infection. Symptoms include a sudden sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and swollen tonsils.
