My three-year-old son has recently started experiencing throat clearing fits. He does it frequently before falling asleep and right after waking up. It also happens sometimes while he's eating, and sometimes out of the blue. He sniffs and clears his throat in repeated succession.
I've read that this may be an early sign of asthma. Are there any other ear/nose/throat issues he could be experiencing? Should I go see his doctor or wait it out?
