Hello,
Snoring can be due to various reasons and every patient might have different ENT issues precipitating it.Causes can be airway obstruction,anatomical variations,poor muscle tone in throat region or palate issues etc .Habitual snorers can be at risk for serious health problems.
Nasal decongestant are not likely to help in this case.
Ideal approach would be to see ENT specialist for this and getting few investigations done to determine underlying cause.Depending upon cause treatment can be planned.
Hope this answers your question.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
