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:
Why: 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.
Why: 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.
Why: intermittent symptoms may suggest myasthenia gravis, urticaria (hives), occupational strain, reflux oesophagitis, tobacco and alcoholism.
Why: e.g. steroid inhalers may cause oropharyngeal thrush and hoarseness.
Why: to determine if overuse of the voice may be a possible cause of larynx symptoms e.g. singers, auctioneers.

Why: e.g. cough, chest pain, wheezing, blood stained sputum, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, tiredness, weight loss. May be paralysis of the vocal cords and consequent hoarseness if lung cancer is in apex of the lung.
Why: e.g. burning discomfort behind the sternum (breastbone) that radiates to the throat, associated with acid reflux, aggravated by heavy meals, swallowing hot and cold fluids, stooping, lying flat and lifting and straining, more likely to occur at rest than with exertion. May be complicated by chronic throat pain, hoarseness and cough, especially on waking.
