6 lots of antibiotics in 3 months for tonsillitis, still sick. my tonsilis are enlarged, red and have puss leaking from them. what do i do?

Tonsillectomy: There are times when chronic tonsillitis doesn't respond to antibiotic therapy. Tonsillectomy is a valid option in these instances. I would seek an evaluation from an ENT physician.
