Can be fixed: Usually this is from the nose/sinus, stomach acid or lung issues. See you doc and ask about nasolaryngoscopy with a very small endoscopy. You may need nasal steroids with antihistamines, or stomach acid pills like Omeprazole or inhalers for your lung. Rest assured, it can be fixed but you want to see a trained doc.
