Pediatric respiratory disorders can arise due to multiple factors. Genetic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, affect lung function from birth. Environmental factors, including exposure to smoke, pollution, and allergens, can trigger or worsen respiratory issues. Premature birth often leads to underdeveloped lungs, making infants more susceptible to breathing difficulties. Infections, like recurrent viral or bacterial illnesses, may cause long-term lung damage, increasing the risk of chronic respiratory conditions in children.
