As I look over the list of antibiotics you've tried, it occurs to me that your doctor went right for the big guns first. Why is that?
Other meds that can be very effective on sinus infections;
Keflex, Cephalexin, doxycycline, erythromicin.
Sometimes I think these doctors get so much advertising and influence from the drug companies on all the new antibiotics, they forget the old standbys.
As for sinus surgery, there are very few surgeries that come without a price. Think very long and hard before you every let a doctor cut into any part of your body. I have a deviated septum that should have been fixed years ago. Since then, I've hear numerous people mention oh, ya, they had theirs fixed and now they are way worse than before the surgery.
