Is major throat clearing due to a sinus issue or an allegy? my dr wants me to do an allegy test...i really dont think i need it

Hard to say: If you have nasal symptoms , then post-nasal drips and/or sinusitis can cause your throat clearing. Reflux is another potential cause even in the absence of heart burns.
