Yes - consider: If they continue to give you so much trouble, i think you should get in to to see an ENT surgeon (ear, nose, throat) and get a good evaluation and assessment.

I am developing tonsillitis - which I usually treat successfully with Tonzylyte - but not working as well at the moment and is spreading to my middle-ear. I do not have a temperature yet, or spots on my tonsil - but it's enlarged -pain above ear.
