A member asked:
I was diagnosed with croup and later with laryngitis. i think i also have cystic fibrosis. how can i tell the difference between the two?

Doubtful: If you suspect you have cystic fibrosis and your doctor thinks further testing is warranted they should be able to order specific testing to rule it out. That being said, croup and laryngitis are not typical presentations of cystic fibrosis. CF symptoms usually present much earlier than age 20 yrs.
