Respiratory Diseases
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.

Sticky secretions trap germs, so cough and infections keep returning.
Enzymes may not reach food, so the child stays thin despite a good appetite.
Delayed first stool, salty kisses and poor weight gain are classic hints.
Nutrition, airway clearance and infection control have to move together.
Family story, stool pattern and how many courses of antibiotics the child has needed.
A flattening curve with a big appetite is a reason to look deeper.
We treat each infection fully and talk about physiotherapy if CF is confirmed.
Parents need a clear map of tests and which centre will share long-term care.
We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.
Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.
A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.
Ask for a review if a child has repeated pneumonia, greasy stools and is not gaining weight as expected.
