Probably a silly question, but do people with CF always have an
excess of mucus in lungs/chest that bubbles away and needs to be
brought up or is this only the case when they have some kind of
infection?<br>
<br>
And what is Post Nasal Drip? I've seen it mentioned a few times
here and there.<br>
<br>
And thanks again to those of you who have offered suggestions about
what the mucus could be about with my little one. I have considered
reflux too but although he spits up a tiny bit when you burp him, I
don't think he has ever vomited in five months. He does need
serious burping though. I could get away with letting it go
occasionally with my other three but as soon as this one drinks a
bottle, his belly blows up like a balloon and goes back down again
once he's burped. If he's left without burping he gets very
upset. <br>

Thanks,<br>
