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
Health Tips
