Sore throat (always)

My 7 year old is always felling ill which starts with sore throat and then gets antibiotics for tortilitis but the issue is she sometimes gets it twice a month and she was referred to the consultant and told to go keep a record and then lockdown happened and she was ok for the whole time and then got discharged because there was no episode of tonsillitis

As soon as she went back to sch after lockdown, It all started again and this time worse with her failing ill all the time and I managed to insist for another referral and for blood tests as I suspect she's got poor immunity

She's missed so much of sch it's unbelievable

She is ill now again and I can't sleep as I am worried as to why she keeps failing ill
Is like I will have to take time off my new job tomorrow for a&e because I doubt if I can get appointment at the GP tomorrow 🤦🏾‍♀️🙄

I have had a nurse say the frequency she's getting this infection is normal for kids. This can't be normal can it ? For a child to have episode of tonsillitis 2 times a month on average of every other month?

I am worried
