Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. Yes, you should see the ENT Specialist again and allow a repeat endosocpy if necessary.

2. Direct examination will be the best way to diagnose the cause and it has been a year since the last examination.

3. The most common reasons for such symptoms will be allergy, acid reflux, post nasal drip or sleep disordered breathing. Other possible causes are lung related, cardiac, drug induced and infections.

4. Upload the findings for further treatment options.

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
