I have been experiencing throat problems for the last three months. I have taken medications, but I am still facing issues while eating. I would like to get some tests done to understand the cause. Could you please suggest which tests I should undergo for throat problems?

For a throat problem thats lasted 3 months and causes trouble while eating, the best first step is a throat endoscopy by an ENT doctor. This will help check for inflammation, reflux, or other issues. Thyroid and vitamin B12 levels can also be checked if symptoms persist.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Vitamin B12 Test Test
