Constant Throat Clearing Condition, Nasal Drip Problem. Due To Acid Reflux?
Hi there, I have constant throat clearing which is affecting my performance on stage - I m a singer. I ve had it ever since I can remember. I think it s a nasal drip problem but what could be causing that? Acid reflux? I m trying to follow a primitive style diet which seems to be helping a little. Please can you give me some advice? Thank you

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having constant throat clearing with nasal drip.
This is usually caused by chronic pharyngitis or chronic laryngitis or chronic sinusitis. This is not caused by acid reflux.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotics and decongestant drugs.
Salt water gargling and use of lozenges will provide symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your ENT doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
