Hello,
If symptoms persist despite taking antibiotics surgery may be the last option available. As a last resort, you can consult an ENT specialist and get a tonsilar swab and start antibiotics according to swab result.
If infection still persists you can directly go for surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
