I am not sure if you went to an ENT (ear,nose,throat) specialist. Do not waste your time going to your family physician. All they will do is prescribe antibiotics which only play havoc on your immune system. My husband started having problems last April and his family physician prescribed antiobiotics. About a month later, he finally suggested an ENT specialist.
Even going to your dentist is better than going to your family physician. Most dentists are knowledgeable in spotting unusual signs of infections.
