Urgent ENT referral- what to expect at Cons appointment?

As per the title, I've had an urgent referral to ENT with one significantly enlarged tonsil. Is there any chance any imaging will be done on the day of the appointment? I am currently breastfeeding so would need some notice to express enough beforehand. Also, how long might the appointment be? I'm trying to decide if I need to organise childcare for my baby.

 

Any advice would be very gratefully received, thank you.

  • Hello Aestas, 

    I think the best thing to do in your situation and to help you organize childcare for your baby would be to give the ENT department of your hospital a ring, and try and find out how long the appointments tend to be. You can also ask on the phone whether any imagining would be done on the day of the appointment or whether it will be on a different date. Do explain when you ring that you need to get organized with expressing as you are breastfeeding and need to sort out childcare. I am sure they will be very understanding of your situation and that they will do their best to advise you. 

    I hope you will also hear from some of our members who have been in a similar situation and that they will share their experience with you. 

    Best of luck for your appointment,
