Snoring and drooling are related to improper sleeping position, adenoid hypertrophy and obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome, which can be treated by adjusting sleeping position or seeking medical treatment.
1. Improper sleeping position: If people sleep in an incorrect sleeping position, snoring and drooling may occur due to the narrowing of the respiratory tract, abnormal ventilation and pressure on the facial muscles as a result of improper sleeping position. Usually, it can be improved after adjusting the sleeping position, and no special treatment is needed.
2. Adenoid hypertrophy: physiological adenoid hypertrophy does not require treatment, but patients should pay attention to balanced nutritional intake and prevent colds. If pathological adenoid hypertrophy occurs, it will be accompanied by respiratory sleep apnea, secretory otitis media, sinusitis, patients should seek medical treatment as soon as possible for adenoidectomy.
3. Obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome: If it is clear that obstructive sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome causes snoring and drooling, obese people need to actively reduce weight, and should also adopt side-lying position to reduce upper airway obstruction. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation therapy, oral appliances, and surgery may also be used.
It is recommended that people who snore and drool should consult a hospital to find out the cause of the disease and under the guidance of a professional doctor, so as not to delay the condition.
