Pediatrician, Pulmonology , Dr. Sumanth Amperayani's Response

HI... By what you say I feel that she needs evaluation for chronic lung disease.

The possibilities are -

1. Cystic Fibrosis
2. Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
3. Evolving Interstitial Lung Disease

I suggest you approach a pediatric pulmonologist regarding this. Otherwise you can consult me at Kanchi Kamakoti CHILDS Trust Hospital, Nungambakkam, Chennai, India - 600034.

Regards - Dr. Sumanth
