Understanding Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. It causes thick, sticky mucus to build up, leading to recurrent lung infections, breathing difficulties, and nutritional challenges. CF is one of the most common life‑limiting genetic conditions in children.
At Dr. Puja Chaudhary's clinic, we provide expert, compassionate care for children with CF. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with you to develop a personalised management plan that addresses respiratory health, nutrition, and overall wellbeing — empowering your child to live a full and active life.
Our CF Care Program Includes:
- Early Diagnosis: Newborn screening, sweat chloride testing, and genetic analysis for accurate diagnosis.
- Airway Clearance Therapy: Chest physiotherapy, oscillatory devices, and exercise regimens to clear mucus.
- Infection Management: Targeted antibiotic therapy and proactive surveillance for respiratory pathogens.
- Nutritional Support: Pancreatic enzyme replacement, vitamin supplementation, and dietary guidance.
- CFTR Modulator Therapy: Advanced precision medicines that target the underlying genetic defect.
- Psychosocial Support: Counselling and resources for families to navigate the challenges of CF.
