    what to use to soothe irritated airways

    My DD does Tobi 28 days on/28 days off because she cultures PA. She has a large asthma component to her CF, and they say she has a pretty reactive airway. The TOBI irritates her horribly.

    <P>I have 2 kids with CF, one has The Vest from Hillrom, one has the Respirtech Incourage. Customer service has been great with both companies.

    Hi

    Both of my kids have cultured it. They both did 2 weeks of IV tobramycin and ceftaz, and started inhaled tobi. DS hasn't cultured it for over a year now, but DD still does. It hasn't caused any increase in symptoms or decrease in lung function. We do Tobi 28 days on/28 days off, and they take...
