Suggest Remedy To Stop Irritation In Throat

I got my tonseils operated when I was 7, I think since then I have to adjust my throat every now and then, and specialty after a long conversation and a good laugh. Sometimes I think I am irritating a person with that throat adjusting sound. And recently taken thalasemia test, there was a remark on my iron level being low. Help me to get a clean throat

Hi, recurrent clearing of throat is a common problem and allergy is one of the common cause. Post nasal drip is also another common cause. Tonsillectomy is usually avoided in allergic patients and the problem of allergy can get increased post tonsillectomy. So the problem of clearing of throat can also get increased. Anti-allergic drugs help in such cases. Anaemia can also be a cause of foreign body sensation in throat and if it is so, Iron can help. An antiseptic gargle use regularly can help in some cases. Reflux esophagitis can also be a cause for this and proton pump inhibitor can also help. Regards
