Tonsils

My 3 year old has a viral cold and cough. His cough is pretty bad when he does cough and it doesn’t help he had broncholitis 8 weeks ago and now has another cold and cough. Anyway, I’ve noticed his tonsils are HUGE!! He isn’t showing signs of infection and told me it only hurts when he coughs not when he swallows. when he’s had a throat infection before he’s refused to eat drink and will just sleep and tell me his throat burns when he drinks but he’s eating, drinking and playing as normal. Can there tonsils enlarge from the strain of coughing and having a viral cold? The dr did say when he was checked over for broncholitis that his tonsils are enlarged as it’s his bodies reaction to the virus
