Suggest Treatment For Chronic Bacterial Sinus Infection
I have had a chronic bacterial sinus infection for a long time (unknown, likely 10+ years). My ENT wants to keep me on antibiotics (9 months now), but I can t stand it anymore. What is the next step? What can I do when sinus surgery, steroids, antibiotics, diet changes, nasal rinses, and sprays aren t enough?

It is unlikely that you are having a bacterial infection since you have been on antibiotics for such a long time now.please meet your doctor and stop them ,if possible can you send me the operative details and latest ct scan so that i am in a better position to help you.
Thanks
