Hello. This : Hello. This answer depends on wether or not you have sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea, then there are no current medications that work. If you dont have sleep apnea, and you just snore and you are snoring because your nose is congested from allergies, then using nasal sprays or antihistamines can help snoring.. First step to treating snoring is to find out if you have sleep apnea. Thanks.

Surgery last resort: No medication that i know of. You should consult with you dentist, an oral sleep appliance may help. Surgery to stop snoring is very painful and only works in about 20% of the cases.

My husband's nose is constantly stuffed up and he can hardly sleep at night. What can we do? His nose sometimes gets a bit clearer, but it's often stuffed up. He can't breathe through his nose at night and that means he doesn't sleep well because he snore
