ew. why do u need it?
Have you had a stroke or some other condition that has induced dysphagia? Or perhaps medication that is impairing your gag reflex (benzodiazepines, neuroleptics, anticonvulsants, some corticosteroids, some antibiotics, anticholinergics, antipsychotics, antiparkinsonian drugs, anxiolytics, etc.)?
Depending on the cause, various treatments ranging from physical therapy to medications exist. Most popular is of course dietary modification and swallow therapy. Surgical dilatation can also be done, if warranted and appropriate, as can cricopharyngeal myotomy, where the cricopharyngeus muscle is disrupted to reduce resistance of the pharyngeal outflow tract. It really depends on the cause in the first place. The important goal of treatment is to avoid aspiration and improve nutritional status of the patient, so working with a specialist in swallowing disorders to obtain optimum therapy for the individual case is key.
Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, MD has an excellent swallowing center that might be worth looking into.
Good luck!
