Dr. Ilin Kinimi

An affluent 14-year-old competitive swimmer developed persistent exercise-induced bronchospasm that wasn't responding to standard inhalers. Dr. Kinimi diagnosed vocal cord dysfunction mimicking asthma and referred her to speech therapy. With breathing retraining, she returned to competition within a month.

A 3-year-old from an urban slum with severe malnutrition presented with chronic wet cough. Dr. Kinimi diagnosed bronchiectasis secondary to recurrent infections. She coordinated nutritional support, chest physiotherapy, and long-term antibiotics. The child showed marked improvement over 3 months with community health worker follow-ups.

A 10-year-old boy with cerebral palsy and limited family support was referred for recurrent aspiration pneumonia. Dr. Kinimi implemented a comprehensive management plan including thickened feeds, positioning strategies, and regular suctioning. Hospital admissions reduced by 80% over the next year.

A 16-year-old presented with sudden respiratory distress after vaping cannabis. Dr. Kinimi diagnosed acute eosinophilic pneumonia and initiated steroid therapy. The teenager recovered completely within two weeks and was enrolled in a smoking cessation program with family counseling.

A 7-year-old girl from a rural farming family presented with recurrent pneumonia unresponsive to multiple antibiotic courses. Dr. Kinimi discovered she had an undiagnosed tracheoesophageal fistula through bronchoscopy. She underwent successful surgical repair and made a full recovery after 6 weeks of post-operative care.
