Do nasal sprays work for snoring?

May help: Nasal corticosteroid sprays reduce inflammation in the nose. This may help reduce nasal congestion that leads to snoring. Snoring is caused by air flow blockages such as collapsing of walls of soft tissue around the throat, tongue blocking the throat, obesity with too much fat tissue around the neck making the airway narrow or nasal congestion with postnasal drip.

Probably not...: Prescription steroid nasal sprays may work for nasal congestion and runny nose asscociated with/caused by allergies etc...Allowing easier breathing via nose and may reduce the noise a bit, but probably not eliminating snoring. Also, if you have sleep apnea with snoring, consult your doc because sleep apnea can cause significant longterm health problems. Good luck.

Don't be fooled: Nasal strips do work, but an underlying issue still probably exists and the source of your problem should be dealt with, not the symptom.
