Deborah Lehmann is a paediatrician based in Nedlands, WA. Her clinic is at 15 Hospital Avenue, Nedlands, WA 6009. She looks after babies, children, and young people when they’re unwell, and when families need clear answers about what’s going on.
Kids can get sick in lots of different ways, and Deborah deals with many common infections and childhood conditions. This can include things like strep throat, flu, and pneumonia. At times, she also assesses more serious illnesses such as meningitis, including pneumococcal meningitis and other forms of meningitis, as well as cerebral hypoxia when it comes up as part of a child’s care.
Ear problems are also a big part of paediatrics, and she often sees children with otitis and otitis media with effusion. She may help guide treatment for hearing-related concerns, including hearing loss. Some children are affected by swelling and fluid behind the eardrum, and that can lead to ongoing discomfort or changes in hearing, so having a proper plan matters.
Deborah also supports families dealing with breathing symptoms. You might bring your child in for stridor, nasal flaring, or other signs that suggest the airway is under pressure. When children have trouble breathing, things can feel scary. She focuses on calm, practical next steps, and makes sure families understand what to watch for at home.
In many cases, children need treatment for infectious illnesses like pertussis and infections linked to respiratory outbreaks, including H influenzae meningitis. She also works with families when symptoms are ongoing, like cough and fever that don’t settle quickly, or when a child has repeat infections.
Over time, paediatric care is about more than just fixing one episode. It’s also about helping parents feel confident about the bigger picture. Deborah aims to explain things in everyday language, cover the likely options, and support follow-up when needed.
If your child is dealing with a sore throat, an ear infection, flu-like illness, or more concerning symptoms, Deborah Lehmann can help assess what’s happening and what the next step should be.
