Which doctor do you call?

thefrogprincess · Nov 3, 2007

I call the CF doc if what I have has anything to with my lungs and/or sinuses. I usually get a faster response and can get something called in and not have to go in. My primary would make me go in and if I can get it called in from the CF doc then why not? The last thing I want when I don't feel good is to get out of my jammies and bed.

I always call the CF clinic for sinus issues~the primary care doc is more likely to prescribe any old abx instead of one specific to what your child is culturing-but thats just my experience.

I don't know if this will help you or not, but I used to call my CF clinic. Now, however, I have an ENT who works with the adult CF patients, and I call him. It has been a lot more helpful being able to call him (not griping about my cf drs, but they are pulmonologists, not ENTs <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ). My ENT knows what my NOSE is culturing, can consult with my CF drs about my lungs, and has treatments (my new one is nasal nebs- very cool and very helpful <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ) that I didn't get at my CF clinics. I imagine it also takes a bit of a burden off of my CF drs, who are often overwhelmed and understaffed it seems (especially during cold and flu season!).

I hope he is feeling better soon, poor kiddo (and mom, with the snotty sleeve thing- ugh, just when do they quit doing that? lol <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ).
