Tonsillitis keeps coming back

In the last six month I’ve had tonsillitis 5 times. Symptoms usually start with very dry sore throat and then feeling feverish and chills then pus on tonsils. When on antibiotics symptoms calm down but as soon as I get off them I immediately start to feel symptoms again. Can’t remember the last time I felt well and didn’t have to take pain meds! Have discussed tonsillectomy with doctors but they seem to be discouraging it.  Has anyone else had this problem?
