What Are Common Causes of Chronic Throat Clearing?

Frequent throat clearing may be due to:
🔹 Post-nasal drip (allergies, sinusitis)
🔹 Acid reflux (GERD/LPR)
🔹 Voice overuse
🔹 Habitual behavior
🔹 Throat lumps or masses

If symptoms are persistent, it may irritate the vocal cords and damage the voice.

What Is Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea?

It’s a Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) where a child’s breathing stops or becomes shallow due to blocked upper airway (often from large tonsils/adenoids).

Signs include loud snoring, restless sleep, daytime sleepiness, and poor attention in school.
Diagnostics include upper airway endoscopy and polysomnography (sleep study).

Treatment may involve tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy or CPAP therapy.

Should I Be Concerned if My Baby Doesn’t Startle at Loud Sounds?

Yes. Babies usually jump, blink, or cry when startled by sudden loud noise. If your baby doesn’t respond, it may indicate hearing impairment.

Ask your pediatrician or ENT for a newborn hearing screen. Early detection is crucial!
