Summary
Fiberoptic laryngoscopy (FOL) is one of the most common procedure done in an Ear Nose Throat
(ENT) clinic. Topical anesthesia or decongestant or both have been used to improve patient
comfort level during the procedure. Recently, role of these agents has been questioned. The
investigators would like to study whether topical anesthesia or decongestant or their
combination provide any benefit to the patients undergoing FOL.
