General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Persistent throat clearing indicates increased mucous production. Common causes may be allergy, sinus infection, nasal polyp, rhinitis and deviated nasal septum. Throat irritation may be due regurgitation of stomach contents. These are not symptoms of cancer.
Advice
1.     Levocetirizine 5 mg daily per oral for 5 days
2.     Amoxicillin 500 mg every 8 hours per oral for 7 days
3.     Ranitidine 150 mg twice daily per oral for 15 days
4.     Ambroxol 30 mg daily per oral for 5 days
5.     Do gargle with slight warm salt water four times daily
6.     Do not eat heavily at a time. Eat smaller meals
7.     Do not lie down immediately after meal
8.     Avoid dust, smoking, alcohol, dry environment and spicy food
9.     Avoid coffee and tea after meal
10.     Consult an ENT specialist for general examination of your nasal passage
Thanks
