Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Snoring can occur due to mutiple causes. Most commonly the problem is in the tongue base as the tongue falls back in sleep and causes the obstruction. In that case, even the removal of the adenoids may not give you relief until the tongue base is reshaped. For a child of 7 years, I think you should wait. However, a sleep profiling needs to be done to evaluate whether she is having sleep apnea or whether she is getting proper sleep as it may hamper her growth. Please visit your ENT doctor about that.

I hope that I have been able to clarify your situation to you. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
