Suggest Treatment For Chronic Bacterial Sinus Infection

I have had a chronic bacterial sinus infection for a long time (unknown, likely 10+ years). My ENT wants to keep me on antibiotics (9 months now), but I can t stand it anymore. What is the next step? What can I do when sinus surgery, steroids, antibiotics, diet changes, nasal rinses, and sprays aren t enough?
