For macroglossia with obstructive sleep apnea cases can choose tongue reduction surgery.

2. Non-surgical therapy

Despite appropriate surgery, in order to consolidate the curative effect, is essential to lose weight, losing weight can increase lung capacity, reduced pharyngeal resistance, will help to improve oxygenation. Alcohol will inhibit the wake-up response for hypoxia and hypercapnia, drinking alcohol especially at night can reduce the activity of genioglossus and increase the degree of airway collapse. Do not sleep on high pillow, neck twisted to avoid affecting the respiratory airflow, not to sit, to prevent the tongue falling, the so-called sleep ball, positional treatment of snoring will be how to put a ball on both sides of the bag connected with, or within the ball sewn pajamas back, chest, cloth tied with former patients, such as turning over, not to force it to maintain a lateral position sense, is practical and feasible for non-surgical methods.

Stop Snoring Aids

February2nd,2010

Stop snoring devices range from the very simple, to the somewhat complex. The majority of devices are available in drug stores or through direct mail (postal or Internet/e-commerce). The most common and effective devices and snoring aid are described below.

Stop Snoring Pillow

A popular non-surgical device used to alleviate snoring is called The Stop Snoring pillow . This pillow, by design, compels the sleeper to sleep on his/her side. Since sleeping on the side generally closes the mouth, this can prevent some kinds of mild snoring from occurring (the vibration is still there, but the snoring does not escape the mouth).

Stop Snoring Ball

The stop snoring ball has undergone a series of advancements, and modern versions are available today. Stop snoring balls are devices that the snorer puts on their back while sleeping (i.e. putting it in a pouch on the back of their pajamas). When these people
move to sleep on their back – and thus generally open their mouths while the sleep and emit loud snoring – the stop snoring ball gives them a wake up call of discomfort.

As you can easily imagine, the stop snoring ball is not the most painless of options; yet for some people, it’s all they need; particularly for those who don’t toss and turn a lot during sleep, and simply need a bit of a nudge to return back to a side-sleeping position.

Some people actually construct their own stop snoring balls out of tennis balls, golf balls, baseballs, or anything that can reasonably fit into a pajama pocket. Over time, many people who use snore balls find that they habitually sleep on their side, and hence, the snore ball becomes redundant and can be saved for the next snorer in the family!

Nasal Strips

Nasal strips, which are used to widen the nasal valve and thus open up the airway to the throat and lungs, are extremely popular stop snoring remedies. These strips are made (usually) of plastic, adhere to the nose, and are worn throughout the night. Some people
may notice that football players, hockey players, and basketball players wear nasal strips while performing their sport, in order to keep the airway open and promote maximum respiration efficiency.

Nasal strips are available without a prescription, are applied topically and thus have no internal impact (i.e. they are not medicated), and can be cost effective when purchased in bulk.

Some non-snorers have actually begun using nasal strips after their snoring partners found relief through them; generally speaking, they can help promote better airflow and are often recommended by doctors for patients looking for more restful sleep and/or better respiration efficiency. (More oxygen intake, more carbon dioxide expulsion).

Throat Sprays

Throat Sprays work somewhat like saline sprays, yet instead of salt water, they deliver natural lubricating oils to the back of the throat. This can dramatically reduce the amount of vibrations that occur in the trachea during sleep, and thus effectively diminish (if not outright end) snoring. Similar to nasal strips, throat sprays are fairly low cost, mobile, and can be purchased in bulk. It should also be noted that throat sprays, if used too  frequently, can actually cause throat irritation. This can ironically lead to more snoring!

As such, users to ensure that the follow the recommended daily dose, and resist exceeding them without approval of a medical professional (or perhaps, upon a doctors recommendation, upgrading to a more potent throat spray).

Nasal Dilators

Nasal dilators are most often made of plastic or stainless steel coil, and are inserted into the nostrils during sleep. The impact of these dilators is that they help keep the airway open (similar to nasal strips), and thus cut down on vibration that leads to snoring.
