Hi,

You need to be thouroughly investigated for such recurrent tonsillitis. It could also be due to decreased immunity and resistant infections. Your infection has to be treated with antibiotics for which it is sensitive; in your case it looks like you have been given empirical treatment. Please visit an ENT specialist for proper further treatment.
