Our Speciality
Asthma
Asthma, marked by narrowed airways, swelling, and excess mucus, results in challenging breathing, coughing, wheezing, and breathlessness. Triggers encompass allergies (dust, animal fur), medications (ibuprofen, aspirin), and emotions (stress, laughter). Environmental factors like smoke and pollution also contribute. Effective management involves identifying and avoiding these triggers, along with appropriate medical intervention for symptom control.
Pneumonia
Pneumonia treatment varies based on its cause. Antibiotics combat bacterial pneumonia, fluids, and over-the-counter medications address viral cases, alleviating fever and pain. Essential self-care involves hydration, and avoiding irritants like air pollution, and chemicals. Tailoring treatment to the infection type ensures effective recovery, emphasizing a holistic approach that encompasses both medical interventions and lifestyle adjustments for optimal healing.
Bronchitis
Bronchiectasis, a chronic respiratory ailment, entails persistent damage and dilation of bronchial tubes, hindering effective mucus and substance clearance in the lungs. The permanently widened airways lead to difficulty in maintaining respiratory health, fostering recurrent infections and inflammation. Managing this condition requires a comprehensive approach to address both symptoms and underlying causes, airway clearance techniques, and lifestyle adjustments.
COPD
(COPD) encompasses chronic bronchitis and emphysema, progressively impeding breathing. Smoking, the leading cause, is implicated in approximately 9 out of 10 cases. The harmful substances in smoke damage lung and airway linings, exacerbating the condition. COPD management involves smoking cessation, medications, and lifestyle adjustments to alleviate symptoms and enhance respiratory function in the face of irreversible lung damage.
Tuberculosis
TB, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, primarily targets the lungs but can affect various body parts like the kidneys, spine, and brain. TB spreads through airborne droplets released during coughs and sneezes. The bacteria's transmission from one individual to another underscores the contagious nature of TB, emphasizing the importance of preventive measures and prompt medical intervention for containment.
Snoring
During sleep, the relaxation of soft neck tissues can constrict airways, resulting in the emission of a vibratory noise known as snoring. As air navigates these narrowed passages, the vibration produces the characteristic sound. Snoring is a common occurrence, often benign, but in some cases, it may be associated with underlying issues like sleep apnea, necessitating further evaluation and intervention for optimal sleep health.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Snoring and OSA differ in the critical aspect of breathing interruptions. In OSA, snoring is accompanied by complete breathing halts due to airway blockage or collapse. These pauses, lasting seconds to minutes, often lead to snorting, choking as the individual briefly awakens to resume normal breathing. Recognizing these distinctive features is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of sleep-related breathing disorders.

Interstitial Lung Disease
ILD encompasses 200+ conditions triggering inflammation and scarring in the lungs. Tissue damage occurs between the small air sacs and surrounding blood vessels, impairing oxygen transfer from the lungs to the body.this conditions share the common feature, leading to increased difficulty in oxygen exchange and emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and targeted management for optimal respiratory function.
Chronic Cough
Chronic cough persists for over eight weeks in adults and four weeks in children, ranking among the primary reasons for medical consultations. it functions as a symptom, indicative of underlying health issues. Identifying the root causes of chronic cough is essential for effective management, emphasizing the need for comprehensive medical evaluation and tailored treatment plans.
Pleural Thorraco-Centesis
Pleural thoracentesis, also known as thoracocentesis or pleural tap, is a medical procedure performed to remove excess fluid or air from the pleural space, the area between the two layers of the pleura (the membrane that lines the lungs and chest cavity). This procedure helps relieve symptoms and allows for diagnostic evaluation of the fluid or air accumulated in the pleural space.
Bal Sample
Bronchoalveolar lavage is vital for diagnosing suspected pulmonary tuberculosis with negative sputum/smear and culture results. Optimal diagnostic yield comes from mycobacterial culture and polymerase chain reaction, particularly when associated with positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube and Purified Protein Derivative tests especially in individuals the Indian subcontinent.
Day Care Centre
We has efficient day care services provisioned to the patients who do not need to stay overnight and can be discharged during the day. The decision to let the patient stay in the day care center is on the consulting doctor who will instruct the day care staff . A team of specialists doctors, nursing and assistive staff is always present at the daycare center to help the patient recover quickly.
