I'm looking for some advice regarding my mom's snoring issue. She's 54 and has been struggling with snoring at night for quite some time now. Do you know of any effective anti-snoring tablets or medicines that might help? I'm really worried about her getting a good night's sleep.

Persistent sore throat can be concerning.

Given your smoking history and recent cessation, consider:

Post-nasal drip or acid reflux irritating the throat

Dry air or allergies exacerbating discomfort

Residual inflammation from previous infection

To alleviate dryness and discomfort:

Stay hydrated with plenty of water

Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air

Suck on lozenges or cough drops to stimulate saliva production

Avoid spicy or acidic foods and drinks

Consult your doctor for further guidance and to rule out any underlying conditions.
