If inflammation from the immune system is not the cause, then what is?

Low level bacterial infection in my case, which I mistook for allergies. The go to treatment recommended by doctors is Flonase or varients. Had little effect on me. A few days of Augmentin got me back to normal. YMMV of course, and Augmentin can’t be used by everyone. In my case I feel normal for the first time in 3 months or so.

That’s my question too...as well as “what’s the effective treatment?”
I’ve got CRS, and thus far inhaled corticosteroids, systemic steroids, nasal washes, and antihistamines have made little-to-no difference. A head/neck surgeon suggested that a functional rhinoplasty to enlarge the airway might be useful.
