Can having a tonsillectomy cause snoring problems?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Snorring: Usually tonsillectomy improves or cures snorring. Temporarily, swelling after surgery can cause snorring.

Usually no: Usually, removing the tonsils makes the airway larger, which helps decrease the snoring. But if you were a snorer before, then it can persist after this treatment.
