Blueish tongue
Should one be worried when one repeatedly has blueish discoloration of the tongue? Is this a sign of shortage of oxygen? Can it occur in young children? Is it part of CF?

An experiment
In the context of an experiment in school. It’s known that CF patients loose more salt than healthy people. This is due to the defect in the CFTR-protein. I would like to prone my experiment as follows: First I measure the amount of salt in the blood of patients with CF before they have eaten. Then I have them drink a salty liquid. For instance a sports liquid and then I measure the salt content again. If the patient still loses the same amount of salt, drinking this salty liquid will have a positive effect on his salt balance. I just don’t know where I should measure the salt content given the limited possibilities in the lab at our school. I don’t think a sweat test will be an option. Should I measure it in the saliva or in the urine?
