A member asked:

Hi! my 6 year old daughter had a bronchoscopy done and the pulmonologist said he found viscous mucous in the bronchus.. is this cf?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viscous mucus: Patients with cystic fibrosis produce thick mucus, they have so many signs & symptoms, but if you are worried about it & his doctor is considering this possibility, he can be tested for it with a sweat chloride test. Good luck.
