hello,
well i would like to ask you, have you been having history of repeated respiratoy infections, post nasal drip, hawking, smoking, alcohol? if yes then it might be due to hypertrophy of the pharyngeal mucosa. you should do gargles with saline water and take steam inhalation therapy. If you are in u.s they have salt spa'z there they might help as well.
i hope this help, thank you.
