To treat snoring, several methods can be tried. Maintaining a healthy weight can reduce excess tissue in the airway. Avoiding alcohol and sedatives before sleep can help. Sleeping on your side instead of your back can also lessen snoring. Nasal strips or sprays may open up nasal passages. In some cases, a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine may be prescribed. If snoring is caused by a structural problem like enlarged tonsils or a deviated septum, surgical options may be considered. ????
