Q Both the ENT examination and the endoscopy were normal. So why do I still feel it?
A Tests look at visible structure. Muscle tension and heightened sensation are not captured by them. The cause was not missed — it sits outside what those tests examine.
Detailed Answer
"No abnormality" means dangerous causes have been excluded, so this is a good point to shift towards management. At this stage, tension, sleep, meal timing and posture strongly govern the symptom. Writing down when it worsens for a few days already narrows the branches.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Our examination covers not only the throat but also the abdomen and pulse, to assess the state of the stomach and the degree of tension. This is exactly where most people told "nothing is wrong" come to us.
