10 Causes of Snoring
Cause #2: Swollen or Enlarged Tonsils
The tonsils are very important. They are each a cluster of lymphoid tissues and they are highly involved in the prevention of bacterial infections and the endless fight against germs and pathogens.
Sometimes, if they are processing an infection or fighting off some bacteria, the tonsils become swollen. This can lead to problems like tonsillitis. When the tonsils are swollen, they can obstruct the airways in the back of your throat which can make it more difficult for air to pass through. This can contribute to snoring.
