Can Adenoids Cause Snoring In A Child?

Hi My 7 year old daughter snores very loud and make alot of noise while she sleeps, she also sleeps with her mouth open. She often has a blocked nose feeling (and sound) and the doctor has given her a steroid nasal spray to use. I am concerned that her problem may be her adenoids, as when I was about 9 years old I had my adenoids taken out because they were tiny and I could not breathe through my nose. She has had no problems with her tonsils, however neither did I. Do you think her problem could be her adenoids? Thanks
