Every ENT of the throat and larynx starts with a conversation. Sore throat or sore throat can be very problematic, so it is necessary to give your specialist as much detail as possible about your problemand describe the circumstances of the problem (if you remember) as accurately as possible. An ENT doctor usually uses a mouth speculum and a headlamp or a frontal mirror to examine the oral cavity and pharynx. This allows him to assess the condition of the mucous membranes, tongue and palatine tonsils. In an indirect mirror examination of the nasopharynx, the doctor inserts a small angled mirror through the oral cavity behind the soft palate. To do this, the tongue must be pressed downwards with the tongue blade, which in sensitive people triggers the vomiting reflex. If necessary, the doctor numbs the mucous membrane with a spray. If the nasopharynx cannot be properly assessed in this way, the doctor inserts the endoscope through the nose (nasoscopy) and pushed into the nasopharynx (endoscopic examination of the nasopharynx).
