Specialist Paediatric Asthma Care in London
At London Paediatric Clinic, our experienced paediatricians provide expert assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing management for babies, children, and teenagers with asthma and other respiratory conditions. Asthma is one of the most common long-term conditions affecting children and, when poorly controlled, can have a significant impact on sleep, exercise, school attendance, and overall quality of life.
Children with asthma may experience recurrent wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or symptoms that worsen during exercise, at night, or following viral infections. While many respiratory symptoms are temporary, persistent or recurrent episodes may benefit from specialist assessment to establish an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan.
Our consultant-led approach focuses on understanding your child’s symptoms, triggers, medical history, and overall wellbeing to provide personalised care tailored to their individual needs. We work closely with families to help children achieve good symptom control and lead active, healthy, and confident lives, while giving parents the reassurance and support they need.

Comprehensive Asthma Assessments
Asthma can affect every child differently, and symptoms may vary depending on age, triggers, and the severity of the condition. During appointments, we take time to understand your child’s symptoms, medical history, allergies, family history, and any factors that may be contributing to breathing difficulties. Our aim is to build a clear picture of your child’s respiratory health and how symptoms may be affecting their daily life, sleep, exercise, and overall wellbeing.
We assess children with a wide range of respiratory concerns, including recurrent wheezing, chronic cough, breathlessness, chest tightness, exercise-induced symptoms, nighttime cough, suspected asthma, diagnosed asthma, and symptoms that are not responding adequately to treatment.

Understanding Asthma in Children
Asthma is a common long-term condition that affects the airways of the lungs, causing symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Symptoms can range from mild and occasional to more persistent and troublesome, and are often triggered by factors such as viral infections, exercise, allergies, pollen, dust mites, cold air, smoke exposure, and other environmental irritants.
Understanding your child’s triggers and achieving good symptom control are important parts of managing asthma effectively. With early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and ongoing support, most children with asthma are able to lead healthy, active lives and participate fully in school, sports, and everyday activities.
Diagnosis of Asthma in Children
Diagnosing asthma in children begins with a thorough assessment of your child’s symptoms, triggers, medical history, allergies, and family history. Depending on your child’s age and individual circumstances, further investigations or respiratory function tests may sometimes be recommended to help confirm the diagnosis and better understand the severity of their condition.
Early diagnosis is important in preventing asthma symptoms from affecting sleep, exercise, school attendance, and overall quality of life. Our aim is to provide families with clear answers, expert guidance, and a personalised treatment plan that helps children achieve effective long-term asthma control.
Ongoing Management & Support
Following diagnosis, we provide personalised ongoing care tailored to your child’s individual needs. This may include reviewing medications, monitoring symptoms, identifying triggers, checking inhaler technique, and providing practical advice on managing asthma during exercise, illness, school activities, and travel.
Our goal is to help children achieve the best possible asthma control while minimising the impact of symptoms on their daily lives. We work closely with families to provide ongoing guidance, reassurance, and support, helping parents feel informed and confident in managing their child’s condition and enabling children to remain active, healthy, and engaged in everyday activities.
Concerned About Your Child's Breathing?
Recurrent wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness can be worrying for both children and parents. Early assessment can help identify the cause of your child’s symptoms and provide the reassurance, treatment, and ongoing support needed to achieve good long-term asthma control.
