It's a good idea to get regular cultures to erradicate whatever may be growing before it causes issues. When DS cultured pseudomonas and H. Flu, he had no symptoms whatsoever. And when he cultured steno. Malt. last year, all he had was a dry, throat clearing cough, which I though was just a new habit he picked up.

I too get a little nervous about going to the clinic during the winter months (cold and flu season).

Hey Chilimom. I see no harm in pushing for cultures. I have my culture done every 2 months at my clinic. I also push for precautionary measures while I am at clinic during those cold and flu months. Cultures are for me a safegaurd. If I get hospitalized there is a culture that has been recent enough to do resistant tests for the antibiotic treatment. CF exacerbations can be so unpredictable that is always a good thing to have a recent culture. Follow your gut. If you think it is a good thing to push deep down than push for it. My mom always listened to her gut feeling with my sister and I and that was 48 years ago.
