Complete Pediatric Pulmonary Care

Your child’s lungs are smaller and function differently than yours because they are still developing. And because your child’s immune system is also developing, respiratory infections in children are normal and very common.

Although you can expect your child to have as many as six respiratory infections per year, there are some symptoms that should prompt you to take him or her to see a doctor. Fast or labored breathing, persistent coughing, wheezing, crackling sounds in the chest are all reasons to see a doctor.

The pediatric pulmonary specialists in the Sutter Health network can pinpoint the source of your child’s disorder and rule out other diseases using a range of diagnostic tests including imaging technologies and pediatric pulmonary function tests.

COPD Research

Sutter Health COPD Research
Tobacco is highly addictive and dangerous. Besides lung cancer, smoking can also cause heart disease, stroke, cataracts, and, in pregnant women who smoke, it’s linked to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). One out of five Americans dies of tobacco-related disease, so it’s important to find ways to prevent tobacco use and help people quit.
