Hypertonic Saline causing a deep wet cough

folione · Jan 26, 2009

My son did not start hypersal until much later. When he gets a cough from it, we see it as a good thing: wet cough means mucus is moving, which is better than no cough and mucus sitting there glued to his lungs. His CF doc likes to say that mucus is always being produced and in CF is sticky so even with kids having no lung trouble, the goo is still there -it's just not causing trouble.

Of course, you'll want to work it out with your child's doctors because every CFer is different, but I thought I'd let you know in case it helps calm your worries that in our house we view that wet-cough result of hypersal as an indication of success.

M just started HTS in December. He's 6.5 and never had it before. He gets a deep, wet cough during his treatments, but that means its doing its job. He doesn't have the cough without the HTS actively running though.
