Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Unless adenoid are inflamed from an infectious process, they cannot really make you feel full and provoke a gag reflex. I feel like much information is missing from this question. Can you detail your symptoms simply and allow me to try and identify what the possible cause and treatment options are? I hope to hear from you on this and promise to return promptly with more insights.
