My 4 year old son has large tonsils and no pain for at least 1 month. He also snores very loudly.

Hello, thank you for your question!

Tonsils are usually removed if they are often inflamed, for example after repeated infections

I invite you to discuss this with your doctor at your next appointment.

Sincerely

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
