No definite rule that it will recur.
Also tonsils getting enlarged in this age happens all the time due to infections, If it's getting infected repeatedly then you will have to consult an ENT specialist.

Separate the two kids atleast for 5 days like, should not come in close contract, share the same room air. And if the younger kid had the infection due to the elder one, it is unlikely that the elder kid will get the same infection from the younger one because he would have developed immunity to it
