Do you think it will help to give my child inhaled hypertonic saline at three months old? So far, his lungs are clear. If I get a clear picture from those of you who have been dealing with CF for a longer period of time that this will be beneficial, it will help me as I give this treatment to my child. I trust the people on this web page more than I trust medical professionals. Of course, we are compliant with everything, but your advice can give me new topics to discuss at clinics.

I asked my daughter's doctor the same question when she was 3 m old. They told me that little airwayrs might be irritated by HS, so in the absence of lung involvement they did not prescribe it ( and I did not want to risk giving meds without doctor's supervision)

We asked about it as well and DS' doctor was waiting for more studies to be done on small children. Felt that a good number of the studies were done on people with more lung involvement. I will say that one time when the RT used it to get a good sputum sample on DS -- it really brought up a bunch of crud. He rumbled; however, that was only once. Other times it was used, nothing as his lungs were clear...

My granddaughter has been on Hypertonic since 3 months old. She had a hospital admission and the hypertonic was the only thing that helped her. She has been on it since and she is now 19 months old. She is doing great on it.
