Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my 9 year old son is chronically clearing his throat..he has seen his allergist 4 times..been on antibiotics and another med and they helped and as soon as he was finished with meds he began the chronic clearing of throat again. he does have environmental allergies ..should i take him to ENT?
He needs to do a throat swap to check for cocci or candida because there can be a candida infection causing this constant cleaning feeling. Also, you can go again to ENT doctor to check throat.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
