A member asked:
Does an endoscopy of throat look at tonsils too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can...: ...depending on the expertise and clinical suspicion/ interest of your endoscopist, as well as your tolerance/gag reflex. When undergoing your procedure, please ask him/her to check the back of your throat before the esophagus is intubated by the scope.
