Snoring, or snoring, is due to the airflow through the oropharyngeal cavity, impact on the edge of the soft palate and the pharyngeal cavity secretions and produce vibration of snoring. There are more diseases that cause snoring, including: deviated nasal septum, enlarged tonsils, obesity and so on. It is necessary to treat the cause of the disease, if the disease that causes snoring is not standardized treatment, simply shutting up can not relieve snoring.
1.Nasal septum deviation: After the nasal septum bone and cartilage are deviated under the effect of trauma or developmental abnormality, it blocks the nasal cavity and leads to the need to open the mouth to breathe. When you shut your mouth, you can’t breathe normally, which not only can’t relieve snoring, but also easy to cause breath-holding.
2. Tonsillar hypertrophy: Tonsillar hyperplasia due to allergies, infections and immune hyperfunction can lead to narrowing of the oropharyngeal cavity, which guides the airflow to impact the soft palate, giving rise to snoring symptoms. Shut up can not correct this structural abnormality, and thus can not alleviate the above symptoms.
3. Obesity: obese patients may be due to the accumulation of fat in the neck and pharyngeal submucosa, which may lead to narrowing of the pharyngeal cavity and the pathogenic mechanism similar to palatine tonsillar hypertrophy, resulting in the symptom of snoring. Again by shutting up does not help to treat the disease and improve the symptoms and is more likely to cause choking.
When suffering from snoring, it is recommended to actively seek medical treatment, systematic examination, clear diagnosis, and standardized treatment as prescribed by the doctor. It is not recommended to blindly take the shut up treatment by oneself.
