The basic principle of snoring is due to the narrowing of the upper airway and poor ventilation during sleep which leads to irregular vibration of the upper airway mucosa. It may be associated with rhinitis, nasal polyps, adenoid enlargement and other diseases, which need to be given targeted treatment according to the specific causes.
1. Rhinitis: patients can be due to nasal mucosal congestion and swelling affecting nasal ventilation triggered snoring symptoms, can be accompanied by nasal congestion, yellow nasal discharge, headache and other clinical manifestations. It is recommended to use amoxicillin, roxithromycin and other antibiotics for anti-infection treatment, with mometasone furoate nasal spray, fumarole nasal drops and other symptomatic treatment.
2. Nasal polyps: patients may snore due to the presence of polyps blocking the nasal cavity, affecting the nasal ventilation triggered snoring symptoms. During the onset of the disease, the patient will experience persistent nasal congestion, decreased sense of smell, runny nose and nosebleed and other symptoms. Surgical treatment can be considered by performing functional nasal endoscopic surgery.
3. Enlarged adenoids: The enlarged adenoids will block the nasal cavity, causing the throat cavity to become narrow and affecting the ventilation of the nasopharyngeal cavity, leading to snoring symptoms. During the onset of snoring, symptoms such as nasal congestion, coughing, tinnitus and difficulty in breathing may occur. It can be treated with adenoidectomy.
Snoring may also be related to other factors such as enlarged tonsils, narrowed pharyngeal cavity, small jaw deformity, etc. Patients need to actively go to regular hospitals, and after clarifying the cause of the disease, please ask the doctor to formulate a reasonable treatment plan.
