You should first consult an ENT regarding snoring as it might be due enlarged tonsils ( Commom cause of snoring in children) and also to have a Pulmonologist consultation which requires some basic tests to look for the etiology.
Next Steps
Have a chest X ray , CBC and a Spirometry done and share it me online
