GERD and aspiration may contribute. If you are an asthmatic and using inhaled steroids, this is another possible cause. A pulmonary function test evaluation of your upper airway is recommended. Discuss an ENT consultation with your PCP. Drink soothing fluids, monitor your temperature and avoid speaking loudly. Avoid smoke, dust, mold, pollen and other allergens.
