I am not making a recommendation here - only saying that, 25 years ago, it worked for me. The ENT counted 22 sinus/ear/throat infections in 2 years in my 40's and said "let's take a closer look." After scoping, he resorted to surgery and removed scar tissue, polyps, cleared out pockets of infection & straightened my septum (broken in a teenage water fight that involved metal buckets.) Once all was healed I could breathe normally through my nose for the first time in my life - I had my first recognized sinus infection at age 10.
Probably my bronchiectasis began to develop way back then from repeated bouts of bronchitis brought on by sinus infection drainage.

Thanks @sueinmn Your comments are very validating as I have put off sinus surgery for years!

I take Guaifenesin Extended release 1200mg twice daily.
Often times, I'll take additional immediate release guaifenesin throughout the day (400mg) usually 1200mg at a time with plenty of water.
I can't take Sudafed - too many side effects.
This helps sinus/ears and lungs
Also take NAC and Glutathione Capsules everyday
