Suggest Treatment For Dry Heaving?
Hello - My cousin goes through this dry heaving or gagging without anything coming up.. She often times does it when she is asleep.. but sometimes while she is up. I awake her if I notice that she is doing it.. When we asked the doctor what it was.. she said.. to just monitor it.. but this happens almost everyday.. and thought we should ask.

hi
the symptoms you mentioned suggest that she has a post nasal drip which gets in her throat and causes irritation.
while post nasal drip is a sign of sinusitis ,your cousin needs to be evaluated for sinusitis by an ent specialist and should start with some medication for it.
