Symptoms of cystic fibrosis are diverse and must be understood well. It begins with the newborns&#039; inability to pass meconium within the first 24 hours because the material is too thick to pass through the intestine. There is a chance that it will cause an intestine rupture, which might need emergency surgery. Eventually, the mother might notice that the infant is not gaining weight, is recurrently sick with the respiratory system, and has very salty-tasting sweat. An inappropriate growth in height and weight occurs as the child grows. They continue to develop chronic respiratory infections, pancreatic inflammation, nasal polyps, as well as exercise intolerance. They might have intussusception, in which one section of the intestine merges with another section of the intestine, and clubbing, which is an abnormality with flattening of the nails. Finally, they might get rectal prolapse too.Dr. Shreya Menon, consulting pediatrician and neonatologist from Mumbai, Maharashtra, discusses symptoms of cystic fibrosis
