Pediatric Interstitial Lung Disease (chILD) is a rare but serious condition that affects the lungs of children, leading to breathing difficulties, persistent cough, and reduced oxygen levels. Unlike common respiratory infections, this group of disorders involves long-term inflammation or scarring in the lung tissue, which can interfere with normal breathing and growth.
Early recognition is important, as symptoms may sometimes resemble other respiratory conditions like asthma or recurrent infections. Children with chILD may experience rapid breathing, fatigue, or difficulty gaining weight. A specialist in pulmonology and respiratory medicine can help identify the underlying cause through detailed evaluation and recommend appropriate treatment strategies.

With timely medical guidance, supportive therapies, and close monitoring, children can experience improved quality of life and better long-term outcomes.
