What Should I Do To Avoid Snoring At Night?
I am Dr Ravinder Sharma
Snoring results from the obstruction to the airflow in the airway. The site of obstruction may be in the nasal cavity, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box) or chest. Besides this there are general causes like obesity, diabetes and hypothyroidism and normal ageing (lax mucosa).
A patient with snoring require a complete check up by a general physician and a Otolaryngologist. The examination and the investigations will help in getting the diagnosis. If there is any obstruction
Nose - Polyp , Deviated nasal septum are common causes
Pharynx - Large tonsils, adenoids are common causes
Larynx - Mass lesion or obstruction in voice box
General cause - Obesity, Diabetes, hypothyroidism
Once a diagnosis is made it needs to be treated to get cure of snoring
