Infants are born with Tonsils and Adenoids and they start out large in childhood (about 3-5 years) and shrink throughout your life.

At about one month in a pregnancy the "Throat Pouches" begin to develop and the embryo will start forming the Tonsils.

How many sets of tonsils does a human have?

The number of tonsils in the human body depends on what location you are asking about, but in the mouth and throat there are 4 sets; the pharyngeal tonsils, tubal tonsils, palatine tonsils, and lingual tonsils.

Can you have a quinsy without having tonsils?

Yes, it is possible to have a quinsy (or peritonsillar abscess) even if you have had your tonsils removed, a procedure known as a tonsillectomy. Quinsy typically occurs due to a bacterial infection, and while it commonly arises from the tonsils, other tissues in the throat can become infected and lead to similar abscess formation. In such cases, the abscess may develop in the area where the tonsils were located or in adjacent tissues.
