A member asked:
When a ent does a larnoscophy can he tell if the post nasal drip is acid or just allergies? also can that be done in office in a visit?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post nasal drip: Can be visualized by examining the throat and by laryngoscopy. Although allergic inflammation of the mucosal lining of the upper airways had a special appearance, one cannot completey be positive and tell what exactly what a person is allergic to, except after allergy testing, either skin or blood testing
