A member asked:
What are the treatments for cystic fibrosis parents do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Big role of parents: Parents have a big role to play in management of their child's CF especially in first 10 years. CF infants require manual chest therapy twice daily to keep lungs clear & their parents have to give them all their medicines & enzymes several times a day to keep them healthy. Also paying close attention to nutrition pays in the long run. Not enough room here, talk to your CF doctor to learn more.
