hello,thank you for the consultation,as your child is suffering from recurrent tonsillitis,you should have to be very careful.you avoid giving him cold items,ice cream and all.it may create breathing problem when markedly increased in size so i will advice you to consult any ENT surgeon and get his opinion.He will suggest you best treatment.gud luck.
