The throat (or pharynx) is a muscular tube located in the neck. It connects the mouth and nose to the oesophagus and voice box (larynx). Playing an essential role in the body’s respiratory and digestive system, it acts as a passageway to transport food, water, and air.

It is important to visit an ENT doctor if you are experiencing persistent throat symptoms like sore throat; throat disorders can be uncomfortable and negatively impact our ability to swallow or speak.
