Your child's lungs are still developing and work differently than yours. Because their immune system is also maturing, respiratory infections are normal and common in children. However, some symptoms should prompt a visit to the doctor, including fast or labored breathing, persistent coughing, wheezing and crackling sounds in the chest. Our pulmonologists work with kids who have infections like pneumonia as well as congenital conditions such as asthma and cystic fibrosis. From diagnosis to treatment, our pediatric pulmonologists can help your child breathe easier. ### By the numbers ### 10+ pediatric pulmonary specialists provide accessible care to kids that’s close to home. ### 24 care centers provide pulmonary care to children. ### 10 Sutter hospitals honored as America's best for 2024 by Healthgrades. ### 1 in 100 Americans receive their healthcare from Sutter. ## Need a referral?
