I Am Constantly Clearing My Throat Like Every 2 Seconds.

Incomplete treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for choosing "Ask a Doctor" for your query,
Have seen your details,
You are suffering from Gastroesophageal reflux disease which consists of two parts.
1)Production of excessive acid -which is controlled by Nexium or any other antacid you are taking.
2)Reflux of this acid back into the esophagus- For which a prokinetic drug like Domperidon is added to it.
Your treatment is incomplete. The cause of excessive inflammation in throat is reflux of acid back formed in stomach back into throat. This causes inflammation and secretion of mucous causing urge to clear throat.
A prokinetic drug once added would prevent reflux of acid back into throat and would help to solve the problem.
Discuss this with your doctor and get a prescription for Domperidon 10 mg thrice or 30 mg slow release once a day.
You would feel much better.
Hope I was clear.
follow ups are welcome.
Thank you.
