I hate having to clear my throat. will dieting help?

Probably not: Being overweight can cause esophageal reflux which could then cause chronic throat clearing but that is quite a stretch. If throat clearing is from chronic sinus drainage, dieting will not help.

No: Can't imagine how that will help at all.

Throat clearing: Throat clearing can be from acid reflux. If this acid reflux is caused by being overweight, losing some weight may definitely help relieve some of your throat clearing. Feel better.
