Therapeutic target
Improvement of nasal breathing
Therapy recommendations
- Symptomatic therapy (vasoconstrictor nasal drops for short-term therapy; vasoconstriction → decongestion of the nasal mucosa) or to assess the therapeutic success of turbinate surgery (see “Surgical therapy” below).
- Therapy of a possible dust mite allergy (see below this clinical picture).
- See also under “Further therapy“.
Further notes
- There are conflicting results on the use of topical glucocorticoids in adults.
- Cortisone nasal spray (budesonide, mometasone furoate) shows only a slight improvement in snoring.
