Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children. Thankfully, it’s also one of the most treatable. At Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, our team of experts works to correctly diagnose and treat children of all ages with mild, moderate, and severe asthma.

Asthma can often be misdiagnosed, but our team of pediatric pulmonologists—the largest in California—has decades of experience diagnosing and treating asthma in children. This means they can confidently diagnose and treat your child who is wheezing or has a chronic cough, whether they have asthma or another lung disease.
