wikihow: Preventing Sinus Problems

Try taking a decongestant or antihistamine if nasal congestion is causing your snoring. Use these only as a temporary measure if you suspect that a cold or allergy is to blame. Prolonged use of either can be harmful.

   


 Gargle with a peppermint mouthwash to shrink the lining of your nose and throat. This is especially effective if your snoring is a temporary condition caused by a head cold or an allergy.
    Change your sheets and pillowcases often to relieve nasal stuffiness, alleviate bedroom allergens. Try to vacuum your floors and wash your curtains often too.

2. Tape your nose open with nasal strips. These are available at most pharmacies. They may look odd, but who's looking? Following the directions on the package and tape one of the strips to the outside of your nose. They work by lifting and opening your nostrils to increase airflow.

    Consider trying expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) devices, which cover the nostrils and uses the power of your own breath to create a gentle pressure that helps keep your airway open.

3 .onsider using a sinus/nasal rinse. These are designed in such a way that the debris and mucus formed in the nose is completely flushed out. Rinsing will be helpful in relieving yourself of the snoring.

    You can try to have a warm shower or bath. Hot moist air will be helpful in draining the mucus from the sinuses, thereby reducing the possibility of snoring.
    Raise the head portion of your bed. This will be helpful in reducing the amount of mucus draining down and blocking your nasal passages. When nasal passages are not blocked, you will not snore.

4.Talk to your doctor. If you struggle with chronic sinus infections, get a prescription for nasal decongestants. Reducing the infection will help to cure your snoring.
