Asthma, Breathing and Lung Conditions We Treat
Respiratory illnesses include a variety of problems, such as colds, flu, runny noses, coughs and sore throats. Acute respiratory disorders affect either the upper or lower respiratory systems and require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional. "Acute" means of sudden or recent onset. Some children may also have chronic illnesses that affect the breathing system, including asthma and cystic fibrosis (CF). There are many chronic respiratory disorders that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional. "Chronic" means the condition is long-lasting or even lifelong.
