Ankura Hospital for Women & Children has launched the “Breathe Easy Clinic,” a specialized facility designed to manage and treat respiratory allergies in children. The clinic aims to provide timely diagnosis and personalized treatment for allergic respiratory illnesses. It also offers long-term care, addressing a growing number of young patients affected today.
Led by Experienced Pediatric Specialists
As per the press release, the clinic will be spearheaded by Dr. Abhimanyu Sengupta, Senior Consultant Pediatrician, and Dr. Mounnish Balaji, Consultant Pediatric Pulmonologist, Allergy & Sleep Specialist. Both bring extensive expertise in managing complex respiratory and allergy-related conditions in children, ensuring comprehensive care.
Addressing the Rising Burden of Pediatric Respiratory Issues
Respiratory problems such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, recurrent cough and cold, wheezing, sleep-related breathing disorders, and pediatric lung conditions are on the rise. Lifestyle changes, including reduced outdoor activity and poor diet, weaken children’s immune systems. Additionally, urban pollution from traffic, dust, and industrial emissions irritates young lungs, while seasonal triggers like pollen, humidity, and sudden weather shifts can provoke symptoms such as cough, wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and fatigue.
Holistic, Child-Friendly Care Approach
Breathe Easy Clinic addresses these concerns through a holistic and child-friendly approach, combining treatment with preventive strategies and family education.
Early Intervention Improves Health and Quality of Life
Speaking about the initiative, Dr. Abhimanyu Sengupta said,
“Children with respiratory allergies often suffer silently, as parents may mistake symptoms for routine coughs or seasonal issues. Early evaluation and targeted care can significantly improve a child’s health, school performance, and daily comfort. We are committed to providing specialized pediatric care to ensure children enjoy a healthier, allergy-free future.”
Focus on Prevention and Education
Adding to this, Dr. Mounnish Balaji emphasized,
“At Breathe Easy Clinic, our goal goes beyond treatment. We educate families about lifestyle changes, environmental control, and long-term strategies to help children breathe freely. By empowering parents, we aim to improve children’s overall health and quality of life.”
