Hi,

is six and a half with CF has been recently diagnosed with Asthma on top of

the CF. The asthma seems to be our main problem at this time or so I think it

is. She has been on pulmicort for two months now and is always hoarse which I

know is a side effect from the pulmicort. Since having a bad asthma attack in

September which put her in the hospital she has never gotten back to her

baseline of completely no cough. How can you tell if it is an asthma cough or

an infection? She is very energetic, no problems with breathing and her

appetite is excellent. It is just this darn cough that doesn't seem to want to

go away. No major coughing spells. Do any of your kids have a daily cough with

their CF or with asthma? She has been so healthy up to being diagnosed with

asthma. She also started on Zithromax three times a week. I have noticed since

being on the zithromax that her breathing is so much quieter and peaceful when

sleeping so I do know it is doing something good for her. Any help or advice is

much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dottie
