How to suppress the gag reflex
Numb your soft palate.

Choose from: 1). You should maintain your gag reflex to prevent a gag response. By covering your mouth, you can find temporary relief in things like this : Soft palate covers the tonsils, so you cannot feel anything uncomfortable or distracting. 2). Keep your mouth closed while you use this spray. If you don't hear a warning sound of the spray, don't use it. 3). Aspirin can usually be placed in the frontal sinus cavity where the throat is located. Use the mouth guard to cover your mouth. 4). Alternatively, you could gently apply a topical otc analgesic with benzocaine using a cotton swab. The effects should last for about an hour, and your palate will be less reactive.
