Suggest Treatment For Tonsillitis In 3 Year Old

hi how r u? i have a 3yr old girl who repeatedly suffers from tonsilitis. One of the most recent cases resulted in bleeding from the left tonsil and severe fever. On a day to day basis the tonsils remain enlarged and swollen, so bad that the uvula can not be seen at the back of the throat. My child has already had an adenoidectomy and grommet insertion in both ears. To date her health is very poor, easy bruising, lack of appeptite, bad breath, tiredness, pale but her skin also has a tinge of yellowness... I am a desperate mother who doesntknow what to do...My girl has an appointment on the 3 aug 2011 with her ENT consultants registrar (the head guy is away for the month of august). Is there any hope at all he may agree with me and proceed with a tonsillectomy, or should i say reccommend the procedure to the main guy?

boost up her immunity
