@stepplabbu: Throat clearing can be a viscous cycle! When we clear our throats because we feel like something is stuck in our throat, we are banging the vocal folds together! This can cause further irritation and increase the sensation that something is stuck in the throat, even when it’s not. Often times when we feel like there is something stuck in our throats, there really isn’t. One gentle way to test this is with a silent cough. Common causes of throat clearing can be reflux, dehydration, and certain medications. If you have a problem with chronic throat clearing, you can seek help from an ENT or SLP.
