Constant throat clearing habit without cold

Frequent throat clearing without an active infection can be due to post-nasal drip, mild allergies, or acid reflux. In some cases, dryness or irritation of the throat can also trigger this habit. Staying hydrated and avoiding very spicy or acidic foods may reduce symptoms. If it continues for a long time or is associated with voice changes, it’s advisable to get it evaluated to rule out underlying causes.
