Hi i've been having constant tonsilitus from feburary have had 6courses of antibiotics what is causing this not to clear?

Ask your: doctor for referral to ENT specialist. Sounds like you could benefit from tonsillectomy. That is a lot of antibiotics, and eventually bacterial would become resistant to antibiotics.
