Rhinolaryngoscopy: Given the duration and characteristics of your symptoms, the ENT will likely perform a Rhinolaryngoscopy - utilizing a thin flexible scope inserted up your nose to visualize your vocal cords and laryngeal tissue to rule out polyps, cancer or gastroesophageal reflux, either of which could explain your symptoms.
