A member asked:
If i had a small growth at base of tongue and went to an ent would they be able to ensure nothing there without using a laryngoscope?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small growth: Limited exam, limited information. To make sure there is nothing further below the use of laryngoscope would be required.
