@vinman789 Hello, and welcome to Connect. I clear my throat a lot, but it is because of allergies and asthma. When I am exposed to something that triggers me, my lungs produce phlegm as a protection and this phlegm must move upward to be cleared out. That also depends on lung movement and breathing properly to effectively move the phlegm or it can get stuck and cause infections. I have some physical tightness on one side of my body and have had one side of my ribs not expand enough and that has lead to chest infections starting on that side.

If you have never been tested for allergies, that may be something to consider. You can also try over the counter antihistamines or something like Mucinex which thins the phlegm and makes it easier to clear. I don't know if you smoke, but smoking paralyzes the cilia which are the hair like projections of the cells lining the airways. These are beating to move the phlegm upward. That creates some difficulty clearing the airways if the cilia stop working.
