Hi There~
I am wondering if i should be extremly worried or not?? At our last cf clinic appt. the xray showed air trapping in my 2 1/2 year olds lungs? She has been pale and stuffy (no cough) hence - why we went to the clinic. The doctor's comment was "i am concerned but not worried yet" She is now on Rhinocort and Zyrtec b/c he thinks the stuffiness is due to allergies? She is still very pale and ashen looking, but her stuffiness is gone. She is also on TOBI for a month then we go back to the clinic.
Is this normal w/cf- meaning will it come and go or is this a sign of something worse?? Brinly had a rough first year but for the past year 1/2 has been extremly healthy. I am wanting to know what causes air trapping and have any of you had this happen- what will help her? She is not struggling for air she is just very pale in the face?
any advice or stories are appreciated as always!
