QUERY REGARDING TEST
I am having throat pain for the past 1 year intermittently. I had an endoscopy and it was normal. Report attached. However the endoscopy report did not show the images of back of my throat. However I'll ask the concerned gastroenterologist to share the same.
But I wanna ask you whether an Upper GI endoscopy can view the back of the throat or should I go to ENT for further diagnosis and get a laryngoscopy or Nasal endoscopy done?
Please advice.
I have throat pain at the night while I am lying on the bed.

Hi.
Intermittent throat pain for a year can be due to several reasons including Repeated throat infections, Acid reflux, Allergies etc. Even though the back of the throat can be visualized on Upper GI endoscopy, it is best that you visit ENT specialist to help you with a solution for your long-standing problem.
