Asthma & wheezing
Recurrent cough, night-time wheeze, breathlessness with play. Diagnosed properly — not by fear — and managed with the right inhalers at the right doses, taught correctly.
Services Child Allergy & Asthma Centre
Service 03 · DPAA, AAAIC
A dedicated centre for children who wheeze, sneeze & itch.
Asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema and food allergy are not 'just childhood phases'. Managed properly, they can be — and Dr. Sachin Bhise's Diploma in Paediatric Allergy & Asthma (DPAA, AAAIC) means they are managed properly here.

What we treat
The allergic childhood, understood whole.
Allergic rhinitis
The chronic blocked nose, sneezing fits and eye rubbing that look like 'a never-ending cold'. Nasal sprays, allergen control and training that actually work.
Eczema & skin allergy
Dry, itchy, broken skin that robs children of sleep. A stepwise skincare routine — emollients, trigger control, treatment — reviewed at every visit.
Food allergy
Hives, vomiting or swelling after certain foods. We evaluate carefully, separate real allergy from intolerance, and give families a safe, practical plan.
Chronic cough
The cough that has seen every syrup in the pharmacy. We look for the cause — often a silent allergy or asthma — instead of chasing the symptom.
Drug & insect allergy
Reactions to medicines or insect stings, assessed and documented — with clear avoidance and emergency guidance for school and home.
How we manage it
Not just relief — control.
The goal is not a medicine for every symptom. It is a child who sleeps through the night, plays without coughing, and goes to school without fear — on the least medication needed.
- AssessDetailed history, examination and, where indicated, allergy testing — so treatment targets the real problem.
- TreatStepwise, evidence-based plans — the right inhaler, the right device, the right technique, taught at the clinic.
- TrainParents and older children practise inhaler technique here until it is second nature.
- TrackWritten action plans, regular reviews, and dose adjustments — never 'just continue the same syrup'.
DPAA trained. Dr. Bhise's Diploma in Paediatric Allergy & Asthma (DPAA, AAAIC) reflects dedicated, structured training in exactly these conditions.
When to visit
Recognise allergic disease
Allergic conditions hide in plain sight — often dismissed as 'just a cold' or 'just a phase'.
- Night coughA cough that worsens at night, with colds, or after exercise
- WheezeWhistling breath, chest tightness, or breathless during play
- Stuffy noseA 'never-ending cold' with sneezing and itchy, watery eyes
- SkinEczema that keeps flaring and breaks the child's sleep
- FoodsHives, vomiting or swelling shortly after a particular food
- Chronic coughA cough that outlasts the cold by weeks, no matter the syrup
Good to know: If your child ever has bluish lips, chest pulling, or difficulty speaking — that is an emergency. Call 108 / 112 first, then us.

When wheezing stops being a waiting game.
Most asthma flares are managed at home with your action plan. These signs mean don't wait — call us immediately, or head to emergency care.
Call HAPPY KIDS CLINIC- Breathless to talk
The child can't complete a sentence or a feed without gasping.

Any bluish tint around the lips or fingernails — emergency.

The chest draws in with each breath — the belly or ribs moving hard.
- Reliever not working
No improvement within minutes of the rescue inhaler, or it wears off within a couple of hours.
- Unusually drowsy
Too tired or limp to cough properly — this is dangerous, not restful.
- Anaphylaxis signs
Sudden swelling of lips/tongue, hives with breathing difficulty, or collapse after a trigger.
Allergy & asthma FAQs
The honest answers parents need.
Not every cough is asthma, but asthma often hides as a cough — one that worsens at night, with exercise, or lasts weeks after a cold. We assess the pattern, examine, and use the right tests to decide. Diagnosis is made properly, not guessed.
Yes — inhalers deliver tiny, targeted doses directly to the lungs, and are far safer than long-term oral syrups. They are the standard of care worldwide for childhood asthma. The real problem is usually incorrect technique, which we fix during the visit.
Many children do experience significant improvement as their airways grow, especially with good control in childhood. Some don't. Either way, the goal is the same: normal sleep, normal play, normal school — on the least treatment needed, reviewed over time.
Only when the history suggests they will change the plan. Testing is never the first step — the story is. When indicated, we arrange appropriate testing and interpret results in the context of the child's symptoms, not in isolation.
Absolutely — with a well-controlled asthma plan, children should run, swim and play like their peers. We'll build a plan that covers exercise, including the right use of a reliever before activity, so the playground stays part of childhood.
