I just wish the throat swabs didn’t trigger my gag reflex.
I didn’t even know I had a gag reflex until I took one, and it makes the swab pretty useless as I can’t get near my tonsils without having to stop before I throw up.
Probably not helpful today, but I’ve had success in reducing my horrible gag reflex by brushing my tongue for 10 seconds each day. I’ve been doing it for a few years, but I think I got most of my benefit in the first few months.
For something more likely to be helpful today, I’ve also had success with Chloraseptic throat spray to temporarily numb my throat.
