Check if You Have CF

If any of these symptoms apply to you, you may have Cystic Fibrosis:

- Salty-tasting skin
- Chronic coughing with phlegm (mucus)
- Frequent lung infections
- Poor weight gain despite healthy appetite
- Constant wheezing

TREATMENT

2-3 times a day, the CF patient will lie down while someone pounds on their back for around 45 minutes. Then the patient will cough up the excess mucus to clear their airway for about 20-30 minutes.
