You can help your health professional diagnose and treat your condition by being prepared to answer the following questions:
- What are your main symptoms? How long have you had your symptoms?
- How and when did an injury occur? How was it treated?
- Have you had a nose injury in the past?
- Was your injury evaluated by a health professional? What was the diagnosis?
- How was your injury treated?
- Do you have any continuing problems because of the previous injury?
- What activities related to sports, work, or your lifestyle make your symptoms better or worse?
- Do you think activities related to your job or hobbies caused your symptoms?
- Was this injury intentionally caused by another person?
- Was the use of alcohol or drugs involved in your injury?
- What home treatment measures have you tried? Did they help? Be sure to include any nonprescription medicines you have taken. Did they help?
- Do you have any health risks?
