LPR/Allergy: True that both those conditions cause throat clearing. Treating the underlying causes with antihistamine/nasal steroid spray for allergy and H2 blocker or PPI for LPR as well as dietary modifications (avoid fat, caffeine etc) will help. Increase water intake and develop habit to swallow water rather than clear throat. With time you'll undo the habit through repetition.
