A member asked:
Should i do a thyroid ultrasound, throat x-ray or laryngoscopy? to detect if something is stuck in my throat or do they all detect it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The best way to see if something is stuck in your throat is laryngoscopy, or even endoscopy by GI, where they look into your esophagus and stomach. If something is stuck in your throat, it can also be removed at the same time. Depending on what is stuck, ultrasound and x-ray may miss it. Good luck to you!!
