Hello

Thanks for writing to H.C.M.

I read your query regarding irritation in your throat, which gets worse after smoking. You had been already examined by ENT doctor he found nothing in endoscopic examination so no need for worry about any neoplastic lesion.

As barium study is normal and blood teste are normal all these are indicating that you are having ALLERGIC LARYNGOPHARYNGITIS.

You are advice to consult immunologist or internal medicine doctor for getting antiallergic treatment.

I hope your query is answered.

Regards.
