Test for CF is easy: With conjuntivitis or dry eyes, particles of whitish material can collect around the eyes. This will likely go away whe your daughter is better. However, CF is easily diagnosed by a sweat test. If you are concerned, ask your doctor to do a sweat test. http://www.cff.org/aboutcf/testing/sweattest/
