Pediatric Cystic Fibrosis

Pediatric cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that affects the lungs and digestive system in children. It causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that can obstruct airways and lead to respiratory infections, as well as block the pancreas, making it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients. Symptoms often include chronic cough, wheezing, and difficulty gaining weight. Early diagnosis and treatment, such as medications and specialized therapies, can help manage the condition, improve quality of life, and prolong longevity. Regular medical care is essential for children with cystic fibrosis.
