No, you do not need to plunge a gurgling toilet if the bowl drains normally and there is no physical blockage. Gurgling without a clog points to a plumbing vent stack issue rather than a trapway restriction. However, if the gurgling is accompanied by sluggish drainage or wastewater backing up into the bowl when you run your shower or sink, a partial blockage exists and requires immediate plunging or snaking. Verification: Test a flush cycle to confirm whether the bowl drains rapidly and smoothly.
