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.

I recently had a thyroid function test (T3, T4, and TSH) done, but I am not sure how to interpret the results. My report shows T3: 0.52 ng/mL, T4: 4.70 microgram/dL, and TSH: 2.36 microIU/mL. Could you please tell me if these results indicate a thyroid problem or if they are within the normal range?

I am 37 years old, and my period suddenly stopped this month. I checked a pregnancy test, and it is negative. Is this serious?
