It seems to be post nasal drip, the mucous formed in the sinus due to inflammation, starts to move backwards and causes the irritation of the throat and hence constant clearing,Hawking.

Next Steps

cap mucolite Sr once a day for 5 days, steam inhalation and proper hydration will resolve the problem, if the mucous is thick or creamish to yellowish,then you need antibiotics too
