Adenoid Hypertrophy or Enlarged Tonsils: This is a common cause of snoring in infants and toddlers due to the obstruction of the airway by enlarged adenoids or tonsils, leading to turbulent airflow and the characteristic sounds.

Allergic Rhinitis: Allergies can cause nasal congestion, leading to mouth breathing and potentially odd sounding respirations or snoring due to the partial obstruction of the nasal passages.
Upper Respiratory Infection: Common colds or other upper respiratory infections can cause nasal congestion and swelling, leading to similar symptoms.
Laryngomalacia: A condition where the soft tissues of the larynx are floppy, causing partial airway obstruction, especially when inhaling. It's a common cause of noisy breathing in infants.

Epiglottitis: Although rare, this condition is life-threatening and requires immediate attention. It involves inflammation of the epiglottis, which can obstruct the airway and cause severe respiratory distress.
Foreign Body Aspiration: Objects lodged in the airway can cause sudden onset of respiratory symptoms, including odd sounds and difficulty breathing.
Congenital Airway Anomalies: Conditions such as tracheomalacia or subglottic stenosis can cause abnormal breathing sounds and require prompt diagnosis and treatment.

Pierre Robin Sequence: A condition characterized by a small lower jaw, cleft palate, and sometimes glossoptosis (the tongue falling back and obstructing the airway), which can cause breathing difficulties and snoring.
Choanal Atresia: A congenital condition where the back of the nasal passage is blocked, usually by abnormal bony or soft tissue. It can cause respiratory distress, especially in newborns who are obligate nasal breathers.
Sleep Apnea: Though more common in adults, sleep apnea can occur in infants, often due to obstructive causes, and requires careful evaluation and management.
