Medical problems : associated with childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) include allergies, asthma, gastroesophageal reflux, palatal muscle weakness & obesity. History, physical exam & a video of her snoring will help her pediatrician determine if she needs an overnight sleep study & subspecialty referrals. OSA can cause learning & behavior problems & symptoms of mild -moderate ADHD in children.

Possible conditions: I would suggest observing her sleeping pattern, if there are pauses, this may be consistent sleep disordered breathing. If she snores four times per week or more, it is more likely that she has a sleep disorder, but the pitch of the snoring sound is not necessarily related to severity.
