Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Larynx symptoms.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had problems with larynx symptoms? - to determine if acute or chronic. If larynx symptoms are acute it usually suggests a viral upper respiratory tract infection but laryngitis, simple strain due to occupation or rarely laryngeal diphtheria may be responsible.
- What laryngeal symptoms are you experiencing? - e.g. weak cry in a baby, hoarseness of the voice, stridor (high pitched noisy respiratory noise which is a sign of obstruction of the larynx), poor cough.
- Are the larynx symptoms intermittent? - intermittent symptoms may suggest myasthenia gravis, urticaria (hives), occupational strain, reflux oesophagitis, tobacco and alcoholism.
- Medications? - e.g. steroid inhalers may cause oropharyngeal thrush and hoarseness.
- Occupational history? - to determine if overuse of the voice may be a possible cause of larynx symptoms e.g. singers, auctioneers.
