Medications
Medication can help prevent or reduce snoring when it is caused by nasal congestion. Nasal congestion is usually caused by colds or allergies. Medication may open the nasal passageway, permitting a smoother airflow and reducing snoring. Decongestants and inhaled corticosteroids both reduce nasal congestion. Inhaled decongestants are short-term treatment only and cannot be used long-term.
