Respiratory Diseases

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that makes mucus thick — lungs and digestion both suffer.

It is uncommon, but recurrent chest infections, salty skin, poor weight and greasy stools should not be dismissed. We coordinate diagnosis and long-term supportive care.

Understand

What we explain in clinic

Thick mucus

Lungs

Sticky secretions trap germs, so cough and infections keep returning.

Digestion

Tummy

Enzymes may not reach food, so the child stays thin despite a good appetite.

Early clues

Newborn

Delayed first stool, salty kisses and poor weight gain are classic hints.

Team care

Long term

Nutrition, airway clearance and infection control have to move together.

Evaluation

What we look for

History

Clues

Family story, stool pattern and how many courses of antibiotics the child has needed.

Growth

Plot

A flattening curve with a big appetite is a reason to look deeper.

Chest

Review

We treat each infection fully and talk about physiotherapy if CF is confirmed.

Family

Support

Parents need a clear map of tests and which centre will share long-term care.

At Grace Clinic

How care is planned

01

Listen first

We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.

02

Examine & chart

Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.

03

Treat & follow

A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.

When to book

Ask for a review if a child has repeated pneumonia, greasy stools and is not gaining weight as expected.
