Suggest Treatment For Snoring

I am a 31 year old married woman and have snoring problem. I am overweight so I tried losing weight but that did not help with the snoring problem. Can you please let me know if there are any medicines/treatments to cure snoring? Also, please let me know how long the medicine would need to be taken for the probelm to reduce.

Snoring is multifactorial, in your age it can be due obstruction at nose level ( DNS , turbinate hypertrophy) , at oral level due large tongue , tonsil , uvula , at neck level due thick neck ( > 42 cm) , laryngeal deformity. Other general reasons are obesity , alcohol , sedative ,hypothyroidism & excess tiredness .
To treat it do regular exercise , weight reduction ,sleep on side , check thyroid profile ,avoid sedative , also you need total ENT Head Neck examination to check for any obstruction at nose , throat & neck level. After finding cause for your snoring there are many non surgical & surgical method available to decrease it.
Hope I have answered your query ,take care and have a nice day.
