I think your child has Adenotonsilar hypertrophy and hence her snoring during sleep. Snoring in children are from various reasons, but for your daughter it is more likely from adenoid hypertrophy.
As she is having symptoms of runny nose, nasal blockage and snoring you could try giving her Monteleukast 4 mgs once daily (comes as Garnules which you can mix with a spoon of water or milk and give her daily). This has been shown to be beneficial in preschool children with snoring due to adenoid hypertrophy. You can also use nose drops (Nasoclear) which you can use 2-3 drops in nose few times a day
Ensure she is upto date with her immunization.
