Hi I am dr Kadhir,
The most common condition causing noisy breathing and snoring in kids are adenoids , allergic rhinitis, obesity and other rare cause like small mandibles (micrognathia) ..
If your child has be operated for adenoids then probable cause could be chronic allergic sinusitis or rhinitis which needs treatment with steroid nasal sprays . This can also reduce the size of adenoids.
If she is having an active infection defer steroid for2 weeks and treat the infection with a 10 days course of antibiotic if the secretions are purulent .
