Looks a little bit red, but tonsils don’t look inflamed.
Does child have any symptoms?

If it helps, my child had bad smelling breath, snored and change in voice, huge reddened tonsils, with white patches. Immediately obvious to see. Oddly though, only sometimes a sore throat. Nothing that paracetamol/calpol couldn’t deal with.
Never needed a medical appointment as eating, drinking, playing and happy throughout until it settled down after a few days.

Tonsillitis usually feels like you’re swallowing glass in my experience, big white patches over very swollen golf ball tonsils.
