I constantly have to clear my throat or cough, sometimes to the point of getting a little hoarse, and have had this problem for 3 or 4 years now. I've been treated for acid reflux and that didn't help. I have also had my tonsils removed. I've had antibiotics, decongestants, and antihistimines, none that really do anything for me. It always feels like there is something in my throat that i just need to cough up. I can cough up phlegm all day long, but it just comes back within minutes. It gets worse after eating, and physical activity. I want to go to an ENT but am afraid he'll just prescribe something and then send me on my way. I drink plenty of water. What are some possible things that can cause this and things that I can do to fix it. The doctor has mentioned athsma but hasn't tested for it or anything. Is going to an ENT something I should do? I have heard about people getting scopes done, and I was wondering if that could find anything. Any information would be great.
