General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood your history of ear pain and chronic tonsillitis over 4 months, pain on the same side of the head and ear on exposure to wind, ear syringing and so on.
I would advise you the following:
Get a second opinion of another ENT Surgeon as you need to review your problems, causes and possible diagnoses which can be complex as per your history. You had sufficient antibiotics. It looks to me that you may need exploration of the ear canal to clean it under General Anesthesia or a CT scan of the Ears, MRI of the brain particularly for the Trigeminal Nerve, and tonsillectomy as it is not responding to the antibiotic treatment.

I find this answer helpful
