If your son has got recurrent attacks of throat pain and difficulty in swallowing which is clinically diagnosed as tonsillitis then surgery can be performed at his age. Tonsillectomy is usually not necessary if symptoms are not severe and recurrent
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
