Dear Mr Agarwal

Thanks for asking your query here.

If your daughter has significant snoring problem, may be affecting her school performance due to daytime sleepiness - it may suggest she has got 'Obstructive Sleep Apnoea'.

I think she needs to be reviewed by a Pediatrician and an ENT Specialist and decision need to be made whether her adenoids are problematic and causing breathing difficulties in sleep. If they do, small surgery to remove Adenoids resolve the problem in majority of the cases.

Hope this resolves your query.
