Not sick- im 16, voice is shaky & sounds like im sick, feels like i always have phlegm- need to clear my throat always b4 i speak or nothing comes out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exam: Get checked for both allergies and possible gastroesophageal reflux. If you are having to clear your throat this could be from post nasal drip or laryngospasm ( vocal cord inflammation ). I suggest an allergic medical consultation.
