Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What does a pulmonologist treat?

A pulmonologist specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases related to the lungs and respiratory system. These include breathing problems, lung infections, asthma, chronic cough, and other conditions that affect the airways and lungs.

Common lung diseases include asthma, chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis (TB), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory infections. These conditions can affect breathing and overall lung function.

You should consult a pulmonologist if you experience persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, or frequent respiratory infections. Early diagnosis helps prevent complications and supports better treatment outcomes.

Doctors may recommend tests such as chest X-rays, CT scans, pulmonary function tests (PFT), and blood tests to evaluate lung health and diagnose respiratory conditions accurately.

You can maintain healthy lungs by avoiding smoking, exercising regularly, maintaining clean air environments, eating a balanced diet, and seeking medical care for persistent respiratory symptoms.
