How To Test If Laryngeal Webbing Is Causing Lung Restriction?

I have recently been diagnosed with webbing in the larynx. i have shortness of breath coughing hoarseness and restriction in the lungs. I have already had a pulmonary function test. What other tests should I have to see if the webbing is causing the lung restriction and what Dr should I see? A pulmonologist or ENT?
