I was wondering if you cough up mucus, but you never spit it out...you swallow it...Now; is it going to hurt your lungs anymore? and I know it nasty to swallow it but; does it cause the germs to stay in your body when you swallow it or does it or can it get back to your lungs...
If you already coughed up the mucus would you soon get ride of all the mucus in the lungs or does it keep growing...

Like I just kinda wondering if you never cough would your lungs just fill up and you cant breath anymore or what...


Does it affect you if you swallow the mucus...

coughing and getting the mucous OUT of the lungs is the key to preventing damage with CF lungs. As for as once you cough it out, you can swallow or spit. I have heard swallowing can upset the belly and intestines for some but I dont know of any other ill effects.

Yup swallowing upsets my stomach, if and when i do. I used to swallow it alot but i rarely do anymore, there's absolutely no point in doing it. It makes me feel really sick b/c mine is 'copious' so it's not just little bits here and there.

I used to swallow it all of the time only because I was too lazy to spit it out. Now that I'm older and wiser,<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> I try to spit it out as much as possible. ANd no matter how much you cough it out, the mucus will keep coming back because that's what CF is all about.
