How do I get these horrible tonsils out?

Absolutely had enough of my daughters tonsils. We are on our 5th lot of antibiotics. She's had it 3 times since September. Her school attendance is hovering around 40%. I want them GONE!
Docs won't refer her till she's had it 8 times in 12 months. If I pay for a private consultation can they add me to the NHS wait list, or will I need to pay for the operation too? Parents who have navigated this, HELP!
My life just revolves around these pointless balls.

Definitely go private for the consultation and op if you can - way faster.

It's a stressful wait for the NHS. My son's caused sleep apnea and his sats used to drop really low at nighttime. It terrified me so I empathize with your feelings on how unwell your daughter feels.
