Set Your First-Time Visit Expectations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An otolaryngologist may ask you a number of questions related to your symptoms, including when you first noticed them, when they affect you the most and any lifestyle changes that may be a contributing factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor will typically examine your ears and sinuses using an otoscope, visually examine your throat and tonsils and feel your neck for lumps. Depending on your reason for visiting, further testing, including X-rays or CT scans, may be requested before a diagnosis can be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the first step toward ear, nose and throat relief.
