my boyfriend does that all the time
Saliva always is produced, is constant... when we are young, talking about teens,20's,30's... always is easier to get rid of, or even sometimes wakes us up even from sleep and forces us to get rid of... As we grow older all that "getting rid of" gets in the back of our mind, as we have other things to "worry about", but it still there, and is still bothering us "when is too much of it" to the point that we cannot longer ignore it... Also saliva for us is like "grease" for our body, that helps keep "especially the upper body" running smooth when goes dry...

Did he live in an area like California where there are bad fires that cause smoke inhalation?
I used to do that a lot and cough up lots of stuff throughout the day, but after moving to Idaho for less than a year, it is about 1/4th as much now.
He might be nervous.. usually when I’m nervous I have troubles with my voice and I clear it constantly, so there is a possibility that it can be this also 🤷🏼♀️ or just a medical issue and he has to visit doctor
I was exposed to somebody with a mild illness and had vague stiffness in my throat multiple days for a few seconds each time. I think it was just my body struggling to get past another contagion.

I'm not a doctor, but I had a read through of this. It could well be nothing more than habit, but see if he has other symptoms like any mentioned here, as some might be more serious
I did that when I had chronic diseases and survived in poverty with my abusive family.
It wasn't until I paid the medics out of my own pocket when I was 26 years old. Now where I am I enjoy free universal healthcare. I do not clear my throat nearly as often anymore.
It could be bronchitis, laryngitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis. Hell i can't even remember these medical terms.
Him too? My, cause seems to be 'sinus' related with the result of sometime, throat irritation, and the 'debris' that drains down the throat from the sinus cavities over the eyes and the sinus cavities below the eyes... Can be a real nuisance.
Could have a medical issue where saliva builds up because he can't swallow it properly (some of it remains behind constantly)
Possibly nasal related caused by allergies. His doctor may be able to prescribe something to help.
Post nasal drip possibly.
Does he also cough a lot as well?
I do it often, it’s post nasal drip, depends on the weather I noticed , been like that all my life
Why not go to a doctor? Why are u asking us? Stop trying to be his mom
Asthma.. I used to have it and it gives me runny nose and the mucus goes to the back of the nose into throat. Does he cough?
