In children, especially those around the age of second graders, it is normal for the tonsils to appear large or seem to fill the throat without necessarily indicating an infection or disease. This is because children's lymphatic tissue, including the tonsils, is generally more prominent at this age as part of their developing immune system. The other options (B, C, D) describe symptoms that could indicate an infection such as tonsillitis or pharyngitis.
