What Causes Swollen Tonsils Along With Pain In The Joints?

Hi sir my son is aged 08yrs, body weight is 25kg. Now his anti-streptolysin “O” titre(ASO) is found to be 800 UL/ml. in 2012 his ASO was high 700 UL/ml. In 2014 the ASO was tested with result 200. His tonsils (Rt) side remain swollen almost for a long time since 02-03 years. For the last 4 yeas he occasionally complains of pain for a temporary time of 3-4 hours mainly in the evening or night in any of the joints of upper limbs or lower limbs like knee, ankle, elbow or wrist, which is mostly relieved with oral syp. paracetamol. In the last 04 years he had been administered twic with Agumentin for 10days time . Tried with homeopathy also but not enough result. Now he is prescribed Tab Pentids-400mg twice daily for 14 days. Please advise for anything further to be done like any test or medication. thanking you sir
