Explanation

A fiberoptic ENT exam is a medical procedure used to look at parts of the throat and nose that can't be seen easily. The doctor uses a special tool called a fiberoptic scope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a light and a camera on the end. This tool is gently inserted into the nose or mouth to give the doctor a clear view of the area. This exam helps doctors diagnose problems related to the ear, nose, and throat.
