Pulmonologist or ear, nose, and throat doctor?
I am wondering if I need to see a pulmonologist or an ear, nose, and throat doctor. My regular Medical Doctor had me do a sinus infection test and an asthma test, both came back negative. I have a cough with phlegm constantly in my throat and have trouble eating. After the asthma test I experience chest tightness and went to an urgent care area that said I must be sensitive like asthma patients yet the test read negative....so my medical doctor said if i am still having problems to do see a pulmonologist...however I do not see why I need to go see that type of specialist since there is nothing wrong with my lungs....shouldn't an ear, nose, and throat doctor be more appropriate?

I'd see an ENT first and see what they say as there are all sorts of things that can cause what you're describing.
