Is throat clearing damaging/ detrimental to throat, ie ;while having the urge to do it during a feeling of having mucus stuck in throat? /or irritation
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Many folks have significant post nasal drainage and clear their throats routinely. This does not appear to be a problem.
