Dr. Priyanka has specialised training in interventional pediatric pulmonology, including bronchoscopy and airway evaluation. Her published areas of expertise also include tracheostomy care and long-term ventilation support. These services are particularly relevant to children with complex airway or respiratory conditions who may require coordinated care involving pediatric intensive care, respiratory medicine and other specialists.
Her interest in Pediatric Sleep Medicine includes the assessment of sleep-related breathing problems in children. She completed a certificate programme in Pediatric Sleep Medicine through the National University of Singapore in 2024 and obtained the European Respiratory Society Diploma in Respiratory Medicine in 2025. Sleep-related symptoms such as persistent snoring, breathing pauses during sleep or disturbed sleep may require further evaluation depending on the clinical presentation.

Dr. Priyanka Potti specialises in the assessment and management of childhood asthma, including complex or difficult-to-control symptoms. Children with asthma may experience recurrent coughing, wheezing, breathlessness or chest tightness. Treatment planning may involve identifying triggers, evaluating lung function when appropriate, reviewing inhaler technique and developing an individualised asthma management plan.
Repeated episodes of wheezing can occur due to viral infections, asthma and other respiratory conditions. Dr. Priyanka Potti evaluates recurrent wheezing in children to identify possible causes and guide treatment. Assessment considers age, symptom patterns, family history, previous respiratory infections and the need for additional investigations.
A cough that persists for several weeks may require specialist assessment, particularly when associated with breathing difficulty, recurrent infections or poor growth. Dr. Priyanka Potti evaluates chronic cough and childhood respiratory disorders. Treatment depends on the underlying diagnosis rather than relying on cough medicines alone.
Pediatric bronchoscopy is a specialised procedure that allows doctors to examine the airways using a flexible or rigid instrument. Dr. Priyanka Potti has training and clinical expertise in interventional pediatric pulmonology and bronchoscopy. The procedure may be considered for selected airway abnormalities, persistent respiratory symptoms or suspected obstruction after specialist assessment.
Interventional pediatric pulmonology involves advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for selected lung and airway conditions in children. Dr. Priyanka Potti has specialised training in this field. Procedures are chosen according to the child's diagnosis, airway anatomy, clinical stability and the facilities available at the treating hospital.
Airway obstruction may cause noisy breathing, stridor, persistent wheezing or respiratory distress. Dr. Priyanka Potti has documented expertise in pediatric airway disorders. Evaluation may involve imaging, respiratory assessment or bronchoscopy when indicated. Severe breathing difficulty requires immediate emergency medical attention.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition involving abnormal widening of the airways, which may lead to recurrent infections, mucus production and persistent cough. Dr. Priyanka Potti has a documented interest in chronic pediatric lung disease, including bronchiectasis. Management may involve airway clearance techniques, infection treatment, monitoring and investigation of underlying causes.
Bronchiolitis obliterans is an uncommon chronic small-airway condition that can develop after severe respiratory infections or other lung injuries. Dr. Priyanka Potti has clinical and research interests in this condition. Evaluation may include respiratory testing and imaging, with treatment directed toward symptom control, respiratory support and long-term monitoring.
Respiratory allergies may contribute to asthma symptoms, recurrent wheezing, nasal symptoms or cough. Dr. Priyanka Potti's documented areas of expertise include asthma and allergy. Assessment considers possible environmental triggers, symptom patterns and the need for allergy testing or other investigations.
Sleep-related breathing disorders in children may involve persistent snoring, breathing pauses during sleep or disturbed sleep quality. Dr. Priyanka Potti has additional training in Pediatric Sleep Medicine. Evaluation may include a detailed sleep history, airway assessment and specialist investigations when appropriate.
Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep because of upper airway obstruction. Children may experience snoring, restless sleep or daytime behavioural difficulties. A pediatric sleep specialist can assess symptoms and determine whether sleep testing, ENT evaluation or other treatment is appropriate.
Some children with complex respiratory or neurological conditions require long-term breathing support. Dr. Priyanka Potti lists long-term ventilation among her areas of expertise. Care may involve respiratory monitoring, ventilation planning, caregiver education and coordination with pediatric intensive care and home-care teams.
Children with a tracheostomy may need specialised airway monitoring, secretion management and ongoing respiratory support. Dr. Priyanka Potti has documented expertise in tracheostomy care. Management may include assessment of airway health, respiratory complications and caregiver training in collaboration with the treating hospital team.
Repeated episodes of pneumonia or respiratory infection may require investigation for underlying airway, immune or structural conditions. Pediatric pulmonology assessment can help identify possible contributing factors. Treatment depends on the child's clinical history, examination, imaging and laboratory findings.
Pulmonary function tests help assess airflow and lung function in children who are old enough to perform the required breathing manoeuvres. Testing may be useful when evaluating asthma or other respiratory conditions. Dr. Priyanka Potti's specialist respiratory practice includes assessment of children with complex breathing symptoms.
Children with persistent or unusual respiratory symptoms may need assessment by a pediatric pulmonologist. Dr. Priyanka Potti has documented experience in chronic lung conditions, airway abnormalities and specialised respiratory care. Evaluation may involve reviewing previous imaging, hospital admissions, treatments and respiratory investigations.
