Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
Your history suggests that she is suffering from viral pharyngitis .
Usually antibiotics are not required.
You may add erythromycin to prevent secondary bacterial infection .
Snoring during sleep occurs due to congestion of nose and throat.
Hope this reply is OK for you.
