Why do you think halitosis is from chronic sinusitis? Have you been diagnosed by an ENT with chronic sinusitis, which usually requires a CT sinus in order to see evidence of chronic disease remaining after maximal medical therapy (consisting of 3 weeks of antibiotics and oral steroids and topical nasal steroids)?
Halitosis is much more commonly from untreated reflux disease, possible H Pylori infection, or tonsil stones. Much less likely is your bad breath from sinus infections. Get a CT sinus ordered by your primary care and go see an ENT physician
