Yes, consulting an ENT specialist is highly recommended since antihistamines and antacids haven't provided relief. To evaluate your throat, the specialist will likely perform a simple, painless in-office procedure called a laryngoscopy using a tiny camera to look closely at your throat. They might also suggest a barium swallow test or a neck ultrasound if needed. These tests are excellent for finding the exact cause?such as localized inflammation or muscle tension?and will help guide you toward the right treatment.
