Cystic Fibrosis is a continuous genetic disorder which leads to the development of persistent infections in the lungs which makes it difficult to breathe. It is caused by a malfunctioning gene whose defect allows a thick layer of mucus to build up in the lungs. Some symptoms of this disease include coughing, inability to gain weight, and shortness of breath. As of now, there is no cure for Cystic Fibrosis. However, it can be treated with the regular administration of medication, airway clearance and nutritional therapies, as well as, a fitness plan. Airway clearance therapies help to loosen the mucus in the lungs which allows it to be cleared by coughing and medication may be prescribed to help keep mucus out of the lungs or to fight or prevent infections.
