Hello,

If your son is getting repeated episodes of tonsillitis and ear infections then you consult an ENT specialist. Repeated episodes of tonsillitis despite taking antibiotics may require tonsils to be removed by surgery (tonsillectomy).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
