Nori, the most accessible seaweed, are the sheets used for making sushi rolls, but they can also make quick and easy snacks.

More detailed throat exams used to require sedation because of the difficulty in getting any sort of instrument past the powerful gag reflex. However, an exam called the transnasal flexible laryngoscopy (TFL) is now the preferred method for viewing your larynx and the surrounding structures. The brilliance of any transnasal exam is that it involves passing an instrument through your nose, thereby allowing a physician to bypass the gag reflex and view the tissues and structures below. What will typically be examined are the vocal folds—do they look swollen and red, likely to be the source of hoarseness or throat pain? Is there evidence of postnasal drip or accumulated mucus, the possible cause of chronic cough or a lumplike sensation in the throat?  [2017] - Jonathan Aviv
