What is the reason why the baby always snorts while sleeping recently?

Patient's question:

Female, 11 months
Disease/Symptom: The baby has been snoring recently while sleeping.
Hello, my daughter is 11 months old, and she has recently been snoring while sleeping (this was not the case before; she developed this symptom after having a childhood fever). Could you please tell me what the problem is?

Doctor's answer:

Children are most likely to suffer from adenoid hypertrophy or nasal obstruction. Ensure to check for facial expressions indicating adenoid hypertrophy. It is recommended to observe whether the child's eyelids, maxilla, eyes, and facial expressions appear tense to determine if there is no adenoid hypertrophy, which can then be confirmed.
Follow-up actions: I would like to ask what is needed to revisit the otolaryngology department. Wishing your baby good health.
