Hi, This has been a daily issue for me since the past few years, and now all of a sudden it feels it is getting worse. I have always this urge to clear my throat, and phlegm keeps building up in my throat which makes me want to clear my throat. I have seen many doctors for a solution but they seem to tell me it is just psychological. But I really don't understand how it can be psychological if I actually can cough out the phlegm, and if try their advice of not thinking about it, makes sore throat blocked resulting in coarse speech. And of course cold / sweet food items make it worse. I have a deviated nasal septum as well. If this is any helpful. I am a working professional, but very active and physically fit, play football over weekends, and try to stay in shape. Any medicines or exercises that I can go for to cure this. Thanks.
