    coughing and getting the mucous OUT of the lungs is the key to preventing damage with CF lungs. As for as once you cough it out, you can swallow or spit. I have heard swallowing can upset the belly and intestines for some but I dont know of any other ill effects.

    Jessica It really is not a 'hold off on IV's as long as possible' to keep her healthy scenario. Yes some individuals might not go on IV's but have you ever looked at their PFT's? Mine were 105% at my last appointment this does not mean that I dont need treatments yet, I have IV's 1-2x a year...
