Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are having chronic sinusitis and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection probably you may be having allergy.
As you are getting these symptoms more often you need to test for absolute eosinophill count (AEC), to know any allergic manifestations.
If there is increased level of AEC you need to check for allergen causes these symptoms by skin prick test to identify the allergen.
Once the allergen causing these symptoms are identified, management of your symptoms will be easy and you can get rid of these symptoms.
Thank you.
