Brief Answer:
These findings are not to worry about.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.

I have noted your child's MRI brain reports. Based on this, there is no need to worry.

Tonsillar ectopia is present from birth and no treatment is necessary (it is a normal variation).

Adenoidal hypertrophy can cause cough, difficulty in breathing, etc and it would be useful to get an ENT evaluation done.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
