Your son seems to be having enlargement of tonsils. It is normal to have enlarged tonsils in children. If it is not associated with recurrent infections, recurrent throat pain, difficulty in swallowing, mouth breathing then you need not worry about it
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
