Hello! Snoring could be due to either a nasal obstruction due to a deviated nasal septum or chronic sinusitis, or a bulky base of tongue and enlarged tonsils, or being overweight or obese. It could be a combination of these also. Treatment will depend upon the cause. You will need a proper evaluation for the cause.
