A member asked:

I'm not sick or anything, but recently i have been clearing my throat a lot again... is it because of allergies or something is wrong with me?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Hard to tell: Both post-nasal drips from allergic rhinitis or sinusitis can induce throat clearing. However reflux may also cause similar symptoms even at your young age. We need to know if you have any problem with nasal obstruction, discharge, or food regurgitation to venture a guess.
