Tonsillitis: If your child is nit composing if a sore throat, fever or difficulty in swallowing, I would make a note to get it checked at the next doctor's appointment. For further satisfaction I would make sure there aren't any big or painful nodes in his neck, arm pit or groin that were not felt before. In most cases tonsils r enlargement start to subside after 7-8 yrs of age.
