This has been going on for a couple of weeks. It isn't everyday. Tonight I can really feel it in my throat. No stress. I do have sniffles. Nothing I do causes any change.some burping going on. However no pain. It moves down to the lower part of my throat then back to the center of my throat. No stress or anxiety
Brief Answer:
Likely to be allergic now
Detailed Answer:
Thanks.
With sniffles , an allergic cause is likely. But if it is present at other times , other causes like pharyngo laryngeal reflux or GERD are possible.
If the symptoms persist it would be good to see a doctor and have an upper GI endoscopy.
Best wishes,

Ok... is there something I can do to clear my throat?
Brief Answer:
Decongestants
Detailed Answer:
This is because of a post nasal drip from the back of your nose. A nasal decongestant spray like Otrivine and decongestant tablets like clarinase would help reduce the drip and the feeling in the throat.
