Topics to discuss at a consultation
Tell the team what you are experiencing and how it affects your usual activities.
- Nasal congestion or discharge
- Facial discomfort and recurring concerns
- Current consultation and assessment arrangements
Preparing for a conversation
When you contact the hospital, explain the main reason for your visit. Ask which consultation or assessment to arrange and whether you should bring any existing reports. Confirm any preparation instructions directly with the team.
Discussing your symptoms
Ask the hospital about its current approach to sinus concerns and whether a consultation is appropriate for you. Care decisions are individual and should be discussed with the clinical team.
Give the team a clear symptom history
Note the duration and pattern of congestion, discharge or discomfort, and explain any previous sinus consultations. A written summary can help you remember questions during a call. Ask which clinician is available, what information to bring and whether the hospital?s current service is appropriate for your particular concern rather than assuming all sinus problems need the same approach.
Ask the hospital teamIdentify your questions
Describe when symptoms occur and what has changed. Keep a short note so you can explain what you want from the visit.
Understand the assessment
Mention previous sinus consultations and any existing reports. Ask the clinician to explain the purpose, options and limitations in terms you understand.
Clarify the next step
Ask about the current care approach and whether another assessment is needed. Confirm who will review your concern or results and how to arrange follow-up.
Keep your previous care in context.
Tell the team about relevant previous consultations and any care already advised. Ask whether existing reports or a current medicine list would be useful. Share medical files only when requested: send your appointment message first, then attach them privately in the same WhatsApp chat.

Does sinus discomfort always have the same cause?
