Itchy throat following steam inhalation could be due to minor burns . Endoscopy is required to to visualise such burns and their location....it is safe with no radiation exposure..the  clinician just  introduces a scope in your throat ...no major side effects
Next Steps
video laryngoscopy

Mostly, it will be Videolaryngoscopy. It is safe. No radiation or side effects. Doctor & patient can see inside the throat through the camera and see via the monitor.
