hello and welcome to health care magic,
Your frequent throat clearing will not cause any harm though it is wise to do so only gently and not vigorously.
In any case you cannot take any strong medication since you are pregnant. You can do steam inhalation and this will definitely help you out
Do not frequently clear the throat as it will increase the problem
Take frequent warm water and fluids which will help you further
In any case after delivery all this will improve
