A member asked:
Is there some way to eliminate the gag reflux due to very think post nasal drip? would having the soft palate removed help fix this?

Treat pnd: I would treat the post nasal drip with a nasal steroid or antihistamine. Surgery would be the last option and actually could make things worse.

No: That is a drastic solution. See an ENT dr. And get the post nasal drip under control.
