Cystic fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease that affects the lungs, digestive tract, and other organs, and results in the formation of mucus that is extremely thick and sticky, resulting in a problem of a blockage in these organs.
The symptoms of cystic fibrosis in kids include very salty sweat, cough with thick mucus, wheezing, recurrent lung infections, poor growth, and low weight gain, diarrhea or constipation, bulky greasy foul-smelling stool. If any of the symptoms persist, visit a cystic fibrosis treatment doctor near you.
Treatment for cystic fibrosis in kids includes antibiotics to prevent infections, mucus-thinning agents, bronchodilators, enzymes, and stool softeners for constipation. Surgical procedures may sometimes be required.
Cystic fibrosis is detected in kids with the help of medical history, clinical examination, and tests such as sweat tests, blood tests including genetic testing, and imaging tests such as chest x-rays/CT scans, and abdominal ultrasounds.
Cystic fibrosis is diagnosed primarily with a medical consultation with cystic fibrosis specialist doctors in Kolkata and is done with the help of medical history, and a physical examination of the chest and abdomen including listening to breath sounds with a stethoscope. Tests such as sweat tests, blood tests including genetic tests, imaging tests such as chest X-rays/CT scans, and abdominal ultrasounds also help.
As explained by cystic fibrosis treatment specialists there is currently no way that cystic fibrosis can be prevented, however, gene-targeting drugs are being developed known as CTFR modulators that can help to lessen the effect of the faulty genes and improve lung and digestive function in children with cystic fibrosis.
