Symptoms That May Indicate a Throat Condition
Throat symptoms can present in different ways depending on the underlying cause, but persistent or unexplained changes should not be ignored.
You may benefit from an evaluation if you are experiencing:
Hoarseness or voice changes lasting more than 2–3 weeks
Frequent throat clearing
Difficulty or discomfort when swallowing
Chronic cough or ongoing throat irritation
A visible or palpable lump in the neck
Early evaluation can help identify the cause, provide clarity, and guide the most appropriate care.

Our goal is to restore function, reduce irritation, and provide clarity about your condition.
Throat Conditions We Treat
Throat symptoms can arise from a variety of causes, including inflammation, reflux, voice strain, or structural changes. Our team focuses on understanding the source of your symptoms to design an effective treatment plan.
Hoarseness & Voice Problems
Hoarseness or changes in voice can occur when the vocal cords become irritated, inflamed, or strained. This may lead to a raspy voice, vocal fatigue, or difficulty speaking clearly.
We evaluate the vocal cords and surrounding structures to identify the cause of your voice issues and recommend treatment to restore clarity and reduce strain.
Reflux
Acid reflux can affect more than the digestive system. When stomach acid reaches the throat, it can cause irritation, chronic throat clearing, coughing, or changes in voice.
We assess whether reflux is contributing to your symptoms and guide treatment to reduce irritation and support long-term symptom control.
Neck Mass Evaluation
A lump or swelling in the neck can have many possible causes, ranging from infection to benign growths or other conditions that require further evaluation.
We provide a thorough assessment to determine the cause and guide appropriate next steps, ensuring that any concerning findings are addressed promptly.
What to Expect During Your Visit
Your visit at Mile High ENT is focused on understanding your symptoms and providing clear direction for next steps.
Dr. Sabour begins by discussing your symptoms, when they started, and how they affect your voice, swallowing, and daily comfort. This is followed by a focused examination of your throat and neck. When needed, additional evaluation, such as a scope exam or imaging tests, may be recommended to better assess the vocal cords.
Throughout the visit, we take time to explain our findings and what they mean for you. By the end of your appointment, you will have a clear understanding of your condition and a personalized plan to move forward with confidence.
