Culture/biopsy: This abscess should be cultured and biopsied to assess for atypical infections, malignancy, inflammatory conditions or autoimmune conditions. Consider a tertiary care center with otolaryngology and infectious disease specialist.

Proper forum: Clearly your case is complex with extensive history and involvement of several medical providers. This is not the proper forum to get a 7th opinion especially without a history and exam. You may benefit from an infectious disease consult.
