Hi and thanks for the query,

It might be important to investigate why he is having recurrent infections. Three possible causes stand out. First, inappropriate drugs prescribed for inappropriate durations of time. Secondly, the drug could be appropriate but the germ resistant to the drug. Thirdly, there could be a malformation or anomaly like enlarged tonsils that favor recurrent infections. Causes of immune suppression like HIV and diabetes also have to be carefully considered.

I suggest you get a complete clinical review from an ENT specialist.
Thanks and kind regards,

Bain LE, MD.
