Which doctor do you call?

Just a question. When your child or yourself (with CF) start getting sick such as with a cold and stuff who do you call. Your CF doctor or your primary care doctor or Pediatrician?

I get confused on who I should really call. I typically call the Pediatrician. But when I asked one of the doctors in the Clinic where Austin goes for CF and Kaydan goes for Asthma he said he would prefer that we call them with issues like that. He said generally they can look to see what Austin has cultured and generally call in something instead of always being seen.

So I asked to have the doctor call me about Austin and i didn't get a phone call yesterday. So today I called back and the nurse took down all the info and told me he was in clinic today and would get the message to him and see how he wanted to proceed since his FEV1 was down at clinics on Oct. 8 and he just finished up clindamyacin a few days after that visit for a sinus infection.

No one called so I called back around 3 and she said they would try their hardest to get to him and have him call back today. Well that didnt happen.

I know it is another sinus infection, The nurse said alot of times once they start getting the sinus infections they just keep getting them. And discuss what we need to do about them.

I know this is gross but his left nostril is disgusting. He has yellow snot coming out. And typical boy wiping it on his sleeve. So I'm not sure what I should do until Monday. I guess keep an eye on him and ride it out until Monday.

What typically do they do after so many sinus infections?
