I was exactly like you for decades. Then I found an awesome ENT in Newnan. He actually told me to only do the surgery as a last resort.
He has me taking a claritin everyday. Also, at the very first sign of anything sinus/cold related, I take a mucinex-d in the am. Last, I lay on the bed with my head upside down and do a sinus rinse with alkolol using a baby squeeze syringe. I do the rinse again at bedtime. I repeat the mucinex/alkolol for the next couple of days, as long as even the smallest symptom remains. (Alkolol is non-prescription, but must ask pharmacist for the bottle.)
Doing the above, I have gone from 4-5 major sinus infections/yr to 1 or less.
Good luck.
