Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your child having recurrent tonsillitis problem that is part of pharyngitis and can lead headache as constitutional symptom
Stress, thyroid issue, High blood pressure, ear infections etc like cause also has to be ruled out
For tonsillitis antibiotic and decongestant are treatment modality
If recurrent tonsillitis occurs then tonsillectomy needed in child
Take care
Consult physician or otorhinolaryngologist for examination
If no cause for headache found and even if headache persist after tonsillitis over then CT scan can be done
Hope this will help you
