Hi.. do you get blood when you clear your throat? Are you a smoker? Do you have acidity problem? As you have consulted many doctors earlier, a re-evaluation would be more appropriate, rather than getting an online answer.

I se Ethan you have been having symptoms of throat clearing and a daytime cough for a long time now.
Before prescribing inhalers, I would like to see you perform a spirometry with testing for bronchodilator reversibility.
Your problem is complex and it may need a physical examination and detailed questioning.
Please ask your local doctor whether you have a pharyngitis or is the cough also due to acid reflux
Next Steps
On online video consult may be very useful
