Suggest Treatment For Chronic Sinus Infection

My husband is 75 years old and was a healthy child. But as an adult he was plagued with chronic sinus infections. Now he is unable to defeat them with antibiotics and an immunologist identified this disorder - probably not primary but acquired. His IGG and IGM are low but probably not needing treatment in her opinion; however the B Cells are sluggish and could be treated. She mentioned a blood product and I heard that once you begin infusions, you have to be on them for the rest of your life. I also heard that there are shots instead of infusions. Can the treatment be temporary or is it something that must be continued for life?

Hi,

If treatment has not helped him till now he can go for surgery. It is minimally in active and has excellent results.
