What will happen when I see a doctor?

What will happen when I see a doctor?

Lots of children and young people visit their doctor because of pain. Here’s what usually happens — and why it’s okay if your experience looks a bit different.

What will the doctor do?

Your doctor will ask lots of questions. Some may seem silly — but they're just checking carefully to make sure nothing is seriously wrong. If you go more than once, they may ask the same things again. It’s like double-checking clues!

Will I get a diagnosis?

Sometimes, doctors give your pain a name (called a diagnosis). But for most young people, there isn’t one special label — and that’s okay. You can still get help, even without a diagnosis.

Will I get medicine?

Only about 1 in 5 children get a prescription. Most are told to use paracetamol or ibuprofen (from the shop or pharmacy). If your doctor gives you medicine, always follow the instructions.

Will I go to hospital?

Sometimes, doctors refer you to a physiotherapist or a hospital specialist. This is called a referral. But most children (about 2 in 3) don’t need to go anywhere else — they can be looked after at their local surgery.
