Hello,

Thanks for posting on XXXXXXX

Clearing up throat at times can be normal but it could be due to a throat infection that might require a course of antibiotics to deal with it.
Did you mean Intuniv or inyuiv (as I am not familiar with any such medication as inyuiv)? Intuniv is used to treat ADHD and if clearing off throat started after introduction of intuniv, then it is most likely a side effect of the medication.
If the problem persist please do consider consulting a pediatrician.


Hope this helps and wish your kid the best.
