Is Medication Available To Control Snoring?

ent examination/laryngoscopy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns that your husband is having snoring. I would like to ask you few more details.
Is there any nasal obstruction or sequence of sneezes ?
Is he obese ?
Kindly get back to be with these details.
Based on your clinical details, it occurs to be due to obesity or deviated nasal septum or tonsillar hypertrophy.
I suggest the following measures, to overcome his snoring
1. weight reduction (if he is obese).
2. Evaluate with ent surgeon for ent examination (deviated septum, allergic rhinitis, turbinate hypertrophy), laryngoscopy (tongue size, tonsil hypertrophy) to know the site of obstruction, x-ray chest (copd, asthma). Treatment can be started as per the findings.
3. Steam inhalation (to clear nose or sinus secretions, to clear the airway).
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
