Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chronic gagging which can occur due to various reasons like tonsillitis , acid reflux , post nasal drip or granular pharngitis . I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment as per that and may order throat swa test , CT scan and examine physically with the help of laryngoscope . You should take proper antibiotic course and avoid taking oily and spicy food and cold beverages. There are probable chances that you are suffering from an allergic problem so you should start treatment after proper examination. Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist for acid reflux. You should avoid taking outside food. Sip on warm saline gargles.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
