Spitting and throat clearing

Magnolia1

My 10 year old has had a nervous cough and clears his throat all the time. I thought this was just one of his tics . He has now started spitting. Inside it is into the sink but outdoors he is doing it onto the street and it often ends up on his school trousers or jumper. 

I spoke to the sendco and she said to take him to the doctor as it has been 2 years with the throat clearing. 

Do you think she is right and I should take him or is it just a sensory seeking thing ihe can't  help ?

    Greetings. (3 days later to this Thread, though, sorry.) I agree with "DuckBread" and Your "Sendco" (?), since this may indicate a proper Allergy. 

    ...Not sure if this next is of interest, but... I post because I have been doing this all of My life, and I am 48 Years old! It is to do with allergies and, excuse Me, "Mucus"... if I did not clear my throat all of the time then I simply could do nothing more or less than *not be able to breathe*.

    I do not "spit" because I am unable to do so (...yes, go figure.). It is not fun to have so many allergies. --- However there is a popular thing I could also write here: If Your child is fond of drinking lots of MILK or Milky things, then an allergy to *Cow's Milk* might be the problem. Substitute it for *Goat's Milk* and see what happens. (There is also Soya, Hazelnut, Oat, etc. Milks... but I shall post no more since I may as well be talking to Myself just now, after that first paragraph.) Good Luck Anyway.
