Hi Shanthi,
With your history kindly look for any nasal polyp or deviated nasal septum. This may cause repeated infection and features that you are presenting.
If sputm changes to yellow or green colour with cough then antibiotics with anti inflammatory drugs should be taken.
For confirming asthma, get done AEC counts and spirometry once. Because even with chronic sinusitis and repeated throat infection the symptoms will be similar to asthma.
Do regular steam inhalation and salt water gargle. These will help and give maximum comfort. Kindly get back with the investigations report for discussing on your management.
Hope this helps you.
