Cystic Fibrosis best answer:
ask a doctors opinionYES!!!!! You should most definitely get your son tested! You can do a little something for the time being, to help put your mind at ease until you can get him in, I’m not sure how it would work in a 4y/o though, but, cystic fibrosis babies tend to have a salty taste to them if you kiss/lick the baby’s head. Does your son have an excessive amount of phlegm?Yes. He has a high chance of acquiring it since his dad is a carrier for it.
