cf cough??

[JazzysMom]

sometimes its difficult to distinguish the coughs.

I can start out with a tickle in the throat cough & once I get cough it becomes the congested CF cough because I loosened something up.

I also think everyones cough has their own "uniqueness" to it. Unforunately it is something you have to learn just like with a baby's cry!

I can tell a definite difference between my daughter's CF cough (especially on a tobi month), and her asthma cough. When it's CF/TOBI cough, it's more productive and flemmy sounding. When she has a cold (like this morning) it's definitely more of an asthma cough b/c it sounds really tight and not productive at all. They're just short little tight coughs from the drainage she has. I have a friend that's a RT, and he gave us a stethascope, but we never really knew what to listen for. If you do get one, I'm curious to know how it turns out for you.

Our Dr. gave us a stethascope way back when Sean was first diagnosed. It was pretty valuable when Sean was little. Not so much now that he's more in tune with his body and can actually tell us what's going on.

You are listening for crackles and pops when they breath. You need to listen front/back, upper/lower. It takes some getting used to but when there's a problem, it's obvious.

I bought a stethoscope a few weeks ago and I have driven my husband nuts with comparing my husband's lung sounds to our son's and then to the dog and cat's. I still can't figure out what I am supposed to be listening for, it all sounds the same to me. I think I just need to take it with me to my son's next clinic appointment so that I can be listening to his lungs at the same time as the doc and he can show me what to listen to. BTW I don't think our guinea pig has any lungs because I can't hear anything but his heart with this thing. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif" border="0">
