Suggest Treatment For Snoring For A 3.5-year-old

My son who is 3.5 has enlarged adenoids he has seen ent and she thinks they are not bad enough to warrant surgery. He doesn t snore now after using steroid spray and certirizine every day but when he moves around in his sleep he snorts, is it better to have him more propped up to try and help him sleep better as he does seem to be tired and cranky at the moment?
