Snoring and spitting foam during sleep may be related to deviated nasal septum, enlarged tonsils, jaw retraction deformity and other reasons.
1. Deviated nasal septum: When the nasal septum bone and cartilage are deviated to a certain degree, causing nasal blockage, the patient cannot breathe through the nose and turns to breathe through the mouth when sleeping. The air flow in the oropharynx impacts the soft palate and triggers snoring, and some patients have excessive secretion of the oropharyngeal glands, which can lead to foam spitting.
2. Tonsillar hypertrophy: due to chronic inflammatory effects, immune hyperfunction and stimulation of adverse physical and chemical factors, can cause palatine tonsillar hypertrophy, which can lead to narrowing of the pharyngeal cavity, during sleep, the airflow is guided to the soft palate, the impact of its vibration to snore, the pharyngeal mucous membranes in the stimulation of inflammatory factors can be secreted to increase, the symptom of spitting foam.
3. Mandibular retraction deformity: some patients have mandibular retraction deformity due to developmental abnormality or genetic factors, snoring occurs during sleep, because after opening the mouth, the oral cavity is not closed tightly, and under the mixing of airflow, the performance of spitting foam occurs.
When snoring and spitting foam during sleep, you can actively seek medical treatment and systematic examination to clearly diagnose the cause of the disease.
