Cold medications
My understanding is cold "medicines" generally just block symptoms but can make the cold last longer. Since the symptoms are from your body trying to rid the bug. Instead try remedies designed to boost your immune system, zinc lozengers,OJ, healthy foods, chill out, tea, stay warm, take... -

Salty skin, no other noteable symptoms
I say get him tested, at least it could put your mind at ease, and if he does have CF at least you can start treating it early. There's a bunch of people on this forum that weren't diagnosed till teens or later in life b/c they didn't show obvious symptoms. He may have a "mild" case. When you...- erock77

Are you a vegetarian? What are your PFT/FEV1 Levels like?
I've been eating veg for about 11 years now, with occasional fish may once every week or 2. Why do they say she has to eat meat? I recall feeling better and actually gaining weight when I went veggie. Most likely b/c I was cooking a lot of pasta. I eat relatively healthy these days and manage to... -

Coughing Up Blood After Prednisone
Mariah, I sometimes have low clotting levels, but I don't think the vitamin K levels are that low. It seems to help though, particularly the softgel vitamins. Mine is also resulting indirectly from infection, it supposedly wore down my lung tissue over time. They tried several times treating me... -

Coughing Up Blood After Prednisone

I disagree
I also agree with some of the older CFer's, boiling every time seems like overkill, and adds unnecessary time and labor to something we already hate doing. I agree, rinse it out, let it dry, and sterilize once or a few times a week if it makes you feel better. I've been using the baby bottle... -
