Question: Excessive need to clear the throat my husband age 58
Brief Answer:
He might be having a throat infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As per your history and description, a possibility of throat infection is more likely in your husband 's case.
So, first of all, please tell him to drink plenty of fluids orally.
Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
You may give him a combination of antihistamine (Levocetirizine or Fexofenadine) and painkiller (Acetaminophen/Paracetamol) drugs.
Tell him to do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Don't worry, he'd be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query.
