Pediatric lower airway conditions are the disorders that affect children's trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, or lungs. Common examples include foreign body aspiration, asthma, bronchiolitis, croup, and pneumonia. These conditions can cause symptoms such as cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. Treatment depends on the specific condition and may include medications, breathing therapies, and in some cases, surgery.
