Experiment with Antibiotics?

I am the mother of a 2 year old daughter with C.F We were diagnosed ar 11 months.  This letter is in respose to the mother of the 4 year old girl taking lots of antibiotics.  My advice is to talk to any C.F. center and doctors who are trained in C.F.  We have been given many antibiotics from general practitioners and after speaking to our C.F. clinic found we did not need them.  Your daughter needs to get a throat swab done that is properly tested for the full spetrum of C.F. bacteria and fungus.  Some hospitals in smaller towns(ours) does NOT test for the full spectrum and never notified us.  I had to find out myself.  We get our throat swabs done here and sent to our clinic.  I think sometimes all doctors know to do is give antibiots.  If her cough is caused by a virus or a fungus then why antibiotcs? We once treated our little girl with a harsh antifungal that made her sick for 2 weeks for we found out no reason.  Please ask your doctors all the questions you need to and always double check with your C.F. clinic. Wishing you all the best of luck.  Stength.
