Carrier or patient?
My son is 10 months old, weighs 8 kg and is 75 cm tall. He suffered from dehydration last summer and we were hospitilised. We discovered that he carries the del508 mutation. We did two sweat tests at Hippokation Hospital and both were negative (values 22 and 23). We were tested for 85% of CF mutations and another mutation was traced. We were asked to have an X-ray and an ultrasound. Is it possible for my son to suffer from CF, since both sweat tests were negative, or is he simply a carrier? His stool is well formed with a normal smell.

Delay for removal of polyps
I have 3-4 time a year sinusitis. My ENT specialist recommended to have the nasal polyps removed but he mentioned, that they will come back and therefore I should wait with the operation as long as possible. Right now, I am treated with steroid-containing nasal spray and if needed antibiotics for oral use. Now I read about the Pari Sinus device that reaches also the sinuses in contrast to the nasal spray. Would it be possible to achieve a reduction of the nasal polyps with a suitbale drug administerd by the Pari Sinus and therefore to have more time until an operation would be necessary?
