Hi good morning, As mentioned by you the picture show  enlarged tonsills. But mere enlarged tonslls in the absence of other clinical symptoms do not require treatment. If you worried for anything about this you can consider getting a formal/online consultation done.
Health Tips
you can start doing warm salt water gargles and avoid refrigerated food/drinks
