Constant Throat Clearing Posted: 11-15-05 16:21pm


I've had a constant need to clear my throat for a few years now. There is actually mucous in the form of a post nasal drip so I know it is not neurological. It seems to get worse particularly after a meal. I've gone to an ent and allergist and no one seems to have an answer. It is really only an annoyance to me and others but I want to be sure i'm not damaging my throat by always claring it. It doesn't hurt or feel sore. Do I have any options with how I can be helped? Thanks!

Sounds like acid reflux. Do a search on acid reflux, and you'll see your syptoms are acid reflux disease, or gerd

Thanks. It seems others have said the same thing. I guess I will try a couple months of proton pump inhibitors to see if they help. Funny how I dont have any reflux symptoms such as burning or heartburn but I guess I can still have reflux. I did have a friend though who had it worse than me and he eliminated sugar and white flour as much as he could from his diet and he no longer has the problem.
