I have had tonsillitis 5 times this year. Doctor jjust keeps giving me antibiotics and it clears up then comes back 6-10 weeks later. Could i just be getting recurrant tonsillitis or could it be something more?

Please see the web pages for more details on Tonsillitis. Surgical removal of tonsils is one of the controversial subject among the medical community. Tonsillitis if not treated with antibiotics may lead to Otitis media (inflammation of the inner ear). Rheumatic fever is another serious complications of Tonsillitis. It causes valvular disease (valve defect) of the heart at a later stage.
