Are Salt Tasting Skin And Cough Symptoms Of Cystic Fibrosis?

My nephew just tested positive for the cystic fibrosis gene. I am worried about my 4 yo son because he has salty tasting skin. I always thought it was because he sweats a lot. He sometimes coughs so bad that he needs an inhaler (albuterol) and he suffered with gerd and a hernia as a baby. Should I get him tested for cystic fibrosis?
