Dr. Mark Loury answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Several suggestions: Main causes are gastric reflux, dry throat, hypopharyngeal dysfunction, throat diverticulum, chronic nasopharyngitis, chronic sinusitis, allergy. There are some people who have the sensation with no identifiable cause. Suggest ENT evaluation.
