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.
ENT specialists can identify and treat the root cause.
