A member asked:

My ent doctor sent me for a barium swallow because he thinks i might have another condition because my thyroid cyst is very tiny to give symptoms. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Barium swallow: I would follow the ENT doctor's advice. You did not mention what symptoms you have so it is tough to find a more definite response.
