Laryngoscopy
My father has been facing a kind of sore throat since January. His throat used to get chocked up though now that doesn't happen. Doctors couldn't diagnose it. They have now suggested Fibre Optic Laryngoscopy test on him. How safe is this test and what precautions should we take? Do we instead go for second opinion?
