What is Paediatric Respiratory Medicine?
Paediatric respiratory medicine (paediatric pulmonology) covers the diagnostics and treatment of acute and chronic conditions in children, concerning both the upper respiratory tract (nose, larynx and pharynx) and the lower respiratory tract (bronchi, trachea and lungs).
At Midland Health, you will be treated by an expert medical team, led by an experienced consultant paediatric pulmonologist who specialises in the treatment of children's respiratory system conditions, including asthma, wheezing, pneumonia, chronic coughs and snoring.
The paediatric respiratory service at Midland Health is designed to answer the needs of children of all ages, including infants and young adults. As complex respiratory conditions may require a long-term treatment plan, we are here to support both you and your child through the entire process.

Common Respiratory Problems in Children
When your child coughs, as a parent, it’s only natural to worry, even though most coughs aren’t serious. The cough reflex is the body’s natural way of protecting itself and will stop without treatment, as soon as the airways are clear of mucus and other irritants (such as smoke or dust).
However, if your child is suffering from an acute short-term cough or a chronic cough (a cough that lasts for more than four weeks), it is best to book an appointment with a respiratory paediatrician to get an accurate diagnosis.
Our Experts
At Midland Health, your child’s respiratory problems will be treated by our experienced Respiratory Paediatric Consultant, Dr Prasad Nagakumar. As the lead expert of the regional severe asthma service at the Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Dr Nagakumar has years of experience in treating a wide range of children’s respiratory conditions, including asthma, dysfunctional breathing, sleep problems, allergies, wheezing, as well as COVID-related respiratory symptoms.
Having undergone paediatric respiratory training at the Royal Brompton Hospital, London, Bristol Children’s Hospital and The Children’s Hospital for Wales, Cardiff, Prasad also holds an MD(Res) degree from Imperial College, London for his research in children with severe asthma. His academic work has been published in multiple renowned journals and he is a regular expert speaker in various professional forums, both nationally and internationally.
Dr Nagakumar is also an Associate Professor at the Institute of Inflammation and Ageing, University of Birmingham where he supervises the work of MD/PhD students and takes an active role in a number of paediatric respiratory research studies.
