Notes -
I had this experience too! Sinus infections like clockwork every spring, awful green mucus, and a sense of head pressure that I never recognized until it was gone. And it wouldn't go away on its own.
Eventually I saw an ENT specialist who said something like "wow your turbinates are obstructing drainage, so whenever you get a cold, it triggers a sinus infection." No, I'm not sure how the pathology works. But the solution was a minor surgery to deflate two of those turbinates.
Point is, it's probably worth talking to a specialist.
I should have mentioned it in the OP, but I already had surgery as a newborn to open up my nose airways as much as possible, so probably there's nothing further that can be done. I'll get it checked anyway in case there's some new development, though, so thank's for the recommendation.
