Hello.,
You should get ENT consultation. Get done nasopharyngolaryngoscopy, which is endoscopy to visualise throat and larynx. So that if there is any foreign body will be seen easily.
You might have reflux disease which is causing such problems again and again. Get treatment for that.
In doubt do reply
