Since your MRI is normal you seem to be suffering from reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder. You may need to take antibiotics anti reflux medications for few weeks to months for long lasting benefits
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
