Pulmonology
Pulmonology is the branch of medicine that deals with lung and respiratory disorders. Pulmonologists treat asthma, COPD, pneumonia, lung infections, and breathing-related conditions.
Pulmonologists specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases of the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and chest.
