Sometimes chronic throat clearing refuses to respond to treatments for allergy, acid reflux, and more. The answer for some persons is an elusive diagnosis called “sensory neuropathic throat clearing” (SNTC). SNTC is caused by sensory neuropathy that creates a very real sensation of tickling, dripping, dryness that in turn initiates repetitive throat clearing.

Persons with SNTC become exasperated with the constant need to throat-clear, and they may annoy family and co-workers. This neurogenic form of throat clearing is often seen together with the highly related sensory neuropathic cough (SNC). Dr. Bastian explains SNTC, which often responds to the same treatments used for SNC: https://laryngopedia.com/sensory-neur...
