what the breathing sounds like

when the noisy breathing started

whether it is constant or only occurs sometimes

whether it goes away during sleep

whether the breathing is affected by changes in position

whether symptoms get worse with feeding

if there are any signs of an infection, such as a cough, fever, or runny nose

whether the child snores during sleep

if there is a family history of noisy breathing

what other medical conditions the child has, if any

Other questions may also be asked as well.
