Answer by sylvia Anything containing Guifanesin (Mucinex, etc.) will break up congestion like a champ.
Also, if you don’t have one, invest in a neti pot. Used daily (especially at night!), they’re extremely effective for sinus and allergies.
Serveral OTC devices reviewed. Somnomed expensive (00 insurance 0 pocket), not so easy to get used to, I only tolerate when tired and relaxed and not when otherwise might have difficulty getting to sleep. Been wearing britishsnoring.uk’s snore-no-more for sports and sleep prior to deviated septum repair surgery (post-op depicted herein as well). Also for exercise American Dental Union’s ebay-sold (not sold on tv as yet) device where you make your own imprint and send them back for device forming. Aveotsd is apparently for the “edentials”? (untoothed) (welcome someone to buy my old one). My TMJ+ doc here says soft things are not suited for bruxism and cause TMJ. Don’t know if cosmetic orthodontics is relevent. Can’t stay what’s “best” for bruxism, apnea (oh yeah, may pursue pillar treatment and may follow up on CPAP if next sleep test does not show sufficient progress on apnea). Hope display of variety of available devices is helpful to the u2bmunity. Good luck.

Question by Whitestar: Dog with nasal congestion, snoring?
Probably food allergies are the cause. She’s seen a vet and taken antibiotics but still suffers. Any ideas or holistic treatments? Is saline spray safe, and if so, how is it administered?
Thanks in advance.

She’s a German Shepherd Dog.
I’ve been rotating her food to prevent further allergies. She’s better on Avoderm, which I’m cautiously rotating with Taste of the Wild. (I know-it’s Diamond but the ingredient list looks good.) She just developed a sudden, terrible reaction to Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet now even though there’s no grains. Maybe a meat? Quickly developed all the classic allergy signs: greater nasal congestion where she gets up because she can’t breathe well, chewing paws, I see some blood in her urine again, scratching face and ear infections. But she may be pregnant, so the meds? She just came off of her antibiotics. I keep giving her med after tincture after antibiotic after ear med…and she’s prone to false pregnancy so I can’t be sure and I feel guilty every time I give her meds, but…geez… : (

Answer by jclouporter What breed is your dog? Bull Dogs, Boxers, Pugs, Basset Hounds and Beagles all having snoring problems because of their snouts. The first 3 especially because, their snouts are very short, and its hard for them to get a normal amount of air. Don’t worry too much about this, unless you get annoyed with it. I find it quite humorous sometimes!
Question by CRT: Is there connection between snoring and nasal congestion?
I use ear plugs at night when I sleep, and because of this I’ve heard myself snore. And I have nasal congestion, so I wonder if there’s connection between snoring and nasal congestion. Your help is appreciated.

Absolutely there is a connection…just research it a bit. If it is problematic, you should see an Ears, Nose, and Throat specialist.
