Q How soon after starting treatment will it feel easier?
A Usually the number of times you notice it each day falls first, and the intensity thins afterwards. When tension is the cause, many people feel a change within a few weeks; when reflux is mixed in, we allow a little longer. Before it disappears entirely, the hours you spend forgetting about it increase.
Detailed Answer
Recovery commonly arrives as less throat clearing, then an easier morning sensation, then less recurrence under stress. Judging only by "a day without feeling it at all" makes improvement feel like failure. Counting how many times a day you noticed it makes the change visible.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Returning to your old meal times and habits as soon as you feel better brings it back. We consider the period of maintenance after things settle to be part of the treatment.
