I fell empathetic for your kid's illness.It seems that there may be another pathology causing reccurent abcess.It may due to presence of a PYRIFORM SINUS FISTULA.Get the following test to evaluate this: "Barrium swallow xray of esophagus"
If this is present, complete excision of sinus tract will cure baby,insha allah.
