Question 1

how can i stop snoring? i take nasonex (mometasone) every night  before  bed but it doesn't help!

Accepted Answer

Multiple options: Snoring can be caused by turbulent airflow through the nose or mouth.  It can be managed as easily not sleeping on your back in some cases.  Weight loss is frequently beneficial as well, if you are overweight.  Other options include a dental appliance and a variety of surgeries.  You should seek consultation with your physician or dentist.  They should rule out sleep apnea first.

Question 2

what can i do to stop snoring?

Accepted Answer

Stop Snoring: Multiple factors contribute to snoring. These can include anatomic issues such as a deviated septum, long or low lying palate, a small jaw, a large tongue, a short, thick neck as well as carrying extra weight in the abdomen.
Once sleep apnea is ruled out, things like breathe right strips, weight loss and oral appliances can be tried. Septal deviation and palate issues can be surgically corrected.

Question 3

how do i stop a snoring husband?

Accepted Answer

4 main reasons: There are 4 predisposing factors for snoring:
1) being human
2) being male
3) overweight
4) nasal congestion
apparently, there is nothing to be done about 1 and 2, so you need to concentrate on 3 and 4.
You also need to consider the possibility that you are not dealing with simple snoring but snoring as a symptom of sleep apnea.
Overall, snoring is not a laughing matter. I would take it seriously.

Question 4

Childhood Snoring: Snoring in most children is about stuffy nose with swollen nasal membranes, big adenoids, and big tonsils. The greater the weight of the child, the bigger the effect of an enlarged tongue also. Go see your child's pediatrician or family doctor. Start with medications to help relieve stuffy nose. If not getting better, and sleep quality is poor due to the snoring, consider obtaining a sleep study.
