Hi....2 years 8 months, getting tonsillitis is quite common and is need not be worried about. This is not related to the ear infection he has got. Cough and cold and tonsillar enlargement are viral, 95% of the times in children. It will get better soon. But if the kid is getting more than 6 times in year, then you need to get them removed.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
