When you kiss him does he taste salty? Seriously, there is a salty taste, of those, that actually suffer from cystic-fibrosis. I know that research and medicine has made this terrible disease, life span, so much longer than back in the late 60′s when I first heard of it. But according to the symptoms, there is so much today, due to allergies, sinus, asthma, upper respiratory infections, and the list goes on, that you could actually be describing. I remember those with cystic-fibrosis, when they would have a bad attack, their lungs were full of fluid and they made a gurgling sound. For peace of mind, you need to take your little one in for a check up. Hopefully he will get a clean slate!!!
