I know a lot of docs here, hesitate to prescribe antibiotics anymore, die to nonresistant strains of bacteria etc.

Anyway, I've suffered for years with bi-yearly severe sinus infections. Like clockwork, April and October (knock on wood I just jinxed myself)

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING works except major antiobiotics. However, I've been using saline solution spray every morning and night (I don't have allergies per se, but the ac makes the air dry) and notice a huge difference. I've heard a "netty pot" works wonders, used on a daily basis. It's like a teapot, filled with saline, whose spout is used in one nostril and then the other.

I feel for you. Sinus infections are gruesome and wicked and painful. I hate headaches especially. I feel for you, and I hope you find a solution, Carole. Hugs, Hugs, Hugs.
