I agree, you need to pursue your symptoms with your Drs. Don't give up. The right doctor can fix you. I do have two ideas you could discuss with them.

The first is to have them do a swab in your sinus to find out if you have a sinus infection and what bacteria it is. I had a sinus infection where the bacteria wasn't killed by the antibiotic they gave me. I had to do a different one. They took a swab and grew the stuff to see what it was. Then they gave me an antibiotic that killed that specific bacteria.

I also have gastritis which can cause coughing, especially after I eat. There's no stomach acid involved. At first I thought it was my sinus', but come to find out it was gastritis. The did an Endoscopy to diagnose it. I did do the medicine, but treated it with diet (lost 25 lbs, eating healthy). No medicine now. I don't see you mention an Endoscopy. You could discuss that with them also.

Good luck!!! I will keep you in my prayers.
