Stopping the Habit of Throat Clearing

Jun 04, 2021

Sometimes a cold, cough or something breathed in will cause you to constantly clear your throat. On this 人妻中出视频 Minute, laryngologist, Dr. Katherine Kendall, says it can become a habitual response rather than an actual need. Learn some tips for breaking the habit.

Episode Transcript

Interviewer: You have this feeling like you have to constantly clear your throat. Dr. Katherine Kendall's a laryngologist. What's going on?

Dr. Kendall: That sensation usually starts from an irritation in the larynx from a cold or a cough, or another exposure. The feeling goes on after the original problem has resolved, and it's like scratching a mosquito bite. The more you scratch it, the more it itches. So I generally recommend that patients try to stop throat clearing.

Interviewer: So, generally, it's not caused by anything other than just a habit. So what do you do?

Dr. Kendall: I recommend substituting the response with a throat clear with something other than a throat clear, such as a hard swallow, a sip of water, chewing gum, or even snapping a rubber band on the wrist.

Interviewer: And how long until I see some results?

Dr. Kendall: Three months should do it. If not, an individual should seek care from a laryngologist.
