RFI: Child with constant cough (5)
----------------------------------

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a congenital condition of the lung (and
other organs) where there is a disruption of the alveoli which
are the breathing apparatus of the lung. When this happens,
there is accumulation of sputum in the lung, and the child keeps
on coughing. It is diagnosed by a simple test of the sweat.
Please take the child to a pulmonologist who can try and diag-
nose why this is happening.
