Snoring may be caused by physiological factors such as overwork, improper sleeping position, or pathological factors such as allergic rhinitis, adenoid hypertrophy, etc. It can be solved by general treatment, medication and surgery.
1. Physiological factors: snoring caused by physiological factors such as overwork and improper sleeping position is a normal phenomenon, usually no special treatment is needed, and the symptoms can be relieved by changing the sleeping position, such as sleeping on the side, elevating the head of the bed, and quitting smoking and drinking.
2. Allergic rhinitis: Allergic rhinitis leads to congestion and swelling of the nasal cavity, resulting in poor airflow, thus causing snoring. Treatment should first keep away from allergens and avoid re-exposure or inhalation of allergic substances. You can also take antihistamines such as loratadine and cetirizine orally to relieve allergy symptoms, and use nasal glucocorticoid spray to improve nasal ventilation and relieve snoring symptoms.
3. Enlarged adenoids: Enlarged adenoids can block the airway and cause snoring. The main treatment is to surgically remove the enlarged adenoids to keep the airway open, thus relieving snoring symptoms.
Snoring can also be caused by other reasons, after eliminating physiological factors, patients need to go to the hospital in time, by the doctor according to the cause of the targeted treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
