Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I had gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

Vigorous clearing of throat could cause damage to throat mucosa and lead to bleeding.

I recommend the following.

1) Mucous dissolvent like tablet ambroxol.
2) Avoid smoking.
3) Avoid taking coffee or tea in empty stomach.
4) Proton pump inhibitors like tablet rabeprazole for gastric reflux.

You will be fine.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any questions, I am happy to help.

Wish you a good health and speedy recovery.

Regards,

Dr Paparaja S MBBS MS
