Understanding Medical Throat Checks

While often managed with medication and home care, severe or chronic cases of laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx) and pharyngitis (inflammation of the pharynx or sore throat) might require intervention by an ENT doctor.

Modern ENT medicine offers high-tech examinations for persistent nose problems. At MyENTCare, We're proud to offer state-of-the-art diagnostic tools that expand upon traditional rhinoscopy. Let's explore these innovative options.

For a more detailed and up-close look at your pharynx, we might use a technique called flexible endoscopy. A flexible endoscope is a slender, bendable tube with a tiny camera and light at the end. This allows the doctor to view the pharynx and surrounding areas through the nasal passages or mouth. We typically perform this in the office, and we'll use a local anesthetic spray to numb the relevant areas. This technique is especially helpful for looking at the nasopharynx, which is the upper part of your pharynx behind your nose, and the oropharynx, which is the middle part behind your mouth.

Manage allergies and avoid known irritants. Allergies can cause inflammation in the throat, and irritants like dust or pollen can aggravate it.
Ensure you get adequate rest. Fatigue can sometimes weaken your immune system and make your throat more vulnerable to infections and irritation.

The Future of Nasal Examinations

This is a relatively simple method, much like indirect laryngoscopy, and can often be done right in our office during a regular check-up. In this method, your doctor uses a small, handheld mirror with a long handle to get a view of the back of your throat. We also use a bright light, often from a headlight we wear, to help us see everything clearly in your pharynx. This type of pharyngoscopy doesn't usually need any numbing or anesthesia and is typically quite comfortable for most people.
