Tonsillitis nightmare

Hi, DS is currently suffering with recurrent tonsillitis and swollen glands. He has just started his 5th course of antibiotics in 7 weeks. Gp thinks it is one bad infection that is not clearing and therefore wouldn't refer us to ENT. Blood show sign of inflammation and we have not had chance to retake blood to see improvement, since it's not. DS has a communication disorder which isn't helping as he struggles to say where/when hurts. Swab just been taken......disheartening really, just started new school as well which he loves.....any wise words from those who have been there?

Thanks Trumpet, we have decided to go see a private paediatrician, and see what he says.
