6 year old boy, chronic throat clearing

My son has been clearing his throat constantly for about 2 weeks. This came following a bad cold, the cold was flu-like, with a low grade fever every day for a week, with nasal congestion, and later some coughing. At first I felt he was just still clearing thicker mucus that was having a hard time working its way out, but the past 2 weeks it sounds very dry, there is no cough, just constant clearing. He is fine when he wakes up, then it slowly comes on over the first waking hour, and just gets more intense through the day. Once he falls asleep at night it stops, and does not disturb his sleep. While in the shower it calms down a bit, but in a steamy room(such as after the shower is turned off) it continues. It seems a little better when looking down or leaning forward, but Im not totally sure about that.
He complains occasionally of itching in his ears, but this is not constant.
I tried a test of claritin, just to see if it seemed generally like an allergy, it did not help the throat clearing, but he said his ears felt alot better.
when i look in his throat it does not particularly raw, his tonsils are a little bit lumpy but look as they always have.
In the diagnosis tool the leading recommendation is Phosporous, and I will begin tomorrw when he wakes, but am looking for any additional ideas, or insight. Its driving the poor kid nuts! and i feel so bad for him.....
thanks alot!

I have just been searching on the internet for info, on how to help my 4 year old son with his constant throat clearing. We have the exact same story as your son, but without the itchy ears. Can you help us with any info or anything....?
