Pulmonologist Questions Lung Diseases

My son has a lung disease. How will this condition impact him?

My son is 3 years old and has been diagnosed with lung disease. How will this condition impact him? Does it have the potential to affect his future?

Because I don’t know the specific disease I cannot give you a precise answer. Many lung conditions of childhood are temporary and do not affect adult life. Others, like cystic fibrosis, are chronic and life long. Recent advances in treatment of chronic conditions like asthma and cystic fibrosis have improved these disease outcomes.
