3 year old with constantly swollen tonsils

DD is 3. Ever since she was born she's been a noisy breather (sounds like she's snoring when she's relaxed). For the past few months she seems to have constantly swollen tonsils. Sometimes it just one, sometimes both. Every couple of weeks she spikes a temperature for a couple of days. We assumed she was picking up bugs at her childminders, from her older brother etc but we've not been in contact with anyone since the start of lockdown and yet she's still spiking temperatures, swollen tonsils etc.
Her snoring is ridiculously loud and I'm pretty sure she experiences sleep apnea.

I have a doctor's appointment booked for her but it's not for a few more weeks.
Guess I'm just asking if anyone else has a child that experiences similar symptoms?

This sounds like our daughter, big tonsils, mouth breather, sounds nasally, snores really loud and sleep apnoea. GP referred her to consultant who said she needs tonsils out and possibly adenoids too so we're on the waiting list x
