Preparing for your ENT consultation

A little preparation helps you make the most of your consultation. Use this checklist before your visit.

Before the visit, note down

  • Your main symptoms, when they started and how often they happen
  • What makes them better or worse
  • Any treatments you have already tried and whether they helped
  • The questions you would like to ask

Bring with you

  • A list of all your medicines, including doses, supplements and nasal sprays
  • Any allergies to medicines or other substances
  • Previous reports, test results, hearing tests or imaging (scans), if you have them
  • Details of previous surgery or other medical conditions
  • For a child: their health record and any previous ENT reports

Useful questions to ask

  • What could be causing my symptoms?
  • Do I need any tests?
  • What are the options, and what are the benefits and risks of each?
  • What should I do if my symptoms get worse?

General guidance only. Always follow the instructions given by your own doctor and care team.
