I've been through what you're going through. After about 6 rounds of antibiotics, NONE of which would touch the darned thing, I went to a new ENT who, after another two rounds of antibiotics scheduled me for "surgery" and it worked. That was about a month ago. Very little pain after the procedure (I won't go into the gory details here), short healing time and now I am infection-free and can breathe for the first time in years!
