A member asked:
Why do i feel like gagging when i have my throat touched? then the feeling stays awhile
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gagging is natural: The gagging reflex is a natural process the body has to prevent from choking. I myself have a strong gagging reflex to large pills so I can sympathize. Regarding the feeling staying awhile, that might be your way of dealing with the gagging reflex. As long as the feeling is not interfering you eat, you should be OK.
