What are the best treatments for snoring?

Snoring is a common phenomenon, especially among many male friends. Snoring not only affects other people's rest, but also indicates that there is a problem with one's own physical condition, so it should be treated in time. However, there are many ways to treat snoring, and you need to choose effective treatment according to your own situation. Usually, medication can be used for treatment, which is more effective. However, some people may have allergic problems, so medication treatment also requires the guidance of a doctor.

Choose a suitable pillow with moderate hardness. If it is too soft, it will cause your neck to tilt backwards, resulting in a natural curvature of the head and neck, which will cause tension in the throat muscles and cause snoring. If it is too hard, it will easily pinch your neck, causing breathing difficulties and snoring. In addition to the moderate softness and hardness, the height of the pillow is also very important. Too high or too low will aggravate snoring. Generally, the appropriate height is 10-15 cm, which should be determined according to your weight, shoulder width, and neck length. For example: when sleeping on your side, after lying down, the height of the pillow should be consistent with the width of your shoulder on one side. When sleeping on your back, after lying down, the height of the pillow should be consistent with the height of your fist.

Pay attention to developing good living habits, eat less irritating food, eat light food, and quit smoking and drinking. Exercise regularly. Avoid any stimulating activities and don't get too emotional before going to bed. Try to sleep on your side instead of lying on your stomach or back. Don't cover your head when you sleep.

Lose weight. Generally speaking, obese people are more likely to have difficulty breathing because they have more flesh in the throat and nose area, so it is best for them to lose weight.

Surgical treatment: There are many types of surgeries for treating snoring, with many names and mixed reviews, so I will not list them one by one here. This method is effective quickly, but it is painful and has risks. If snoring does not seriously affect your daily life and health, there is no need to choose this method.

Drug treatment. There are many drugs for treating snoring on the market. I haven’t tried their specific effects, but drugs for treating snoring generally have side effects and can only relieve symptoms but cannot eliminate the problem.

To sum up, this is the best treatment for snoring. It is not difficult to see that drug treatment is relatively effective, but other methods can also be chosen according to individual circumstances. You should develop good habits in your daily life and avoid staying up late or having irregular diet. It is best for male friends to change their bad habits of smoking and drinking, so that they can be cured.
