Sinus infection?: If you have a sinus infection, the problem would not go away with nasal steroid (which takes several days of use to get optimal results) or even Medrol. I am wondering also why you have been on low dose Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) for the past year since this only encourages the growth of resistant bacteria. Perhaps a CT sinus should be considered. ENT consult?

See an ENT: specialist, they scope the nasal passages, sinuses openings and your throat, and more expert in dealing with such conditions. you may need other treatments / imaging studies. Meanwhile continue with the current treatment and the saline nasal washes, good luck
