Why would a child be referred to a pulmonologist?
If your child has a chronic cough, wheezing or shortness of breath, an appointment with a pulmonologist is needed. We work closely with your pediatrician to ensure that your child is properly diagnosed and receives the appropriate level of treatment. At Ochsner, parents are part of their child’s care team, and we empower you to be proactive. No one knows your child like you do. We’re here to listen to your concerns and find solutions to help your child have optimal health.
