Throat scope: Greetings. It sounds like your ENT doctor completed a thorough examination of your upper airways. That means that there aren't any abnormal findings present and the movements of the muscles used for swallowing and voice were normal. I would trust your doctors findings and start with liquids then advance back to your regular diet. If you still notice troubles, return or call the office.
