Noticed Progressive Thickening Of Mucus In Throat

Years ago in my twenties i was told by a doctor that i have cystic fibrosis. However now i have developed progressive thickening mucus in my throat, mostly in the mornings. So thick in nature that i have to sleep with tissue nearby. Currently my stools are covered in mucus with every other bowel movement. Please help me?

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTIN WITH HCM

CYSTIC FIBROSIS CAUSES THICK MUCUS THAT IS DIFFICULT TO THROW OUT OF CHEST..

I WOULD SUGGEST YOU NEBULISATION WITH HYPERTONIC SALINE. THAT WILL HELP YOU CLEAR OUT YOUR SECRETION

FOR YOUR STOOLS KINDLY GET A STOOL R/E AND STOOL CULTURE DONE AND MESSAGE ME THE REPORTS.

YOU MAY ALSO CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATING THE TYPE OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS AS FOR NOW TYPE 3 CYSTIC FIBROSIS CAN BE TREATED WITH DRUG LIKE IVACAFTOR.

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
