Repeat respiratory infection in healthy 35 yr old

I have been having repeat bacterial infections for the last 5 years. I have had repeat sinus infections, I had sinus surgery 4 years ago and that seemed to really improve the sinus infections but I still get bronchitis several (2-3) times a year, last month I was diagnosed with pnemonia (this is the second time I have had it in the last 5 years) I had no idea, just a lingering annoying cough, I even ran a 10 mile run with it and felt fine, they started me on antibiotics because my Dr. didnt like how my cough sounded. I ended up having upper left chest and shoulder pain and they took a chest X-ray and found the pnemonia and switched my antibiotics. I have allergies that I am medicated for year round, my blood tests are all very normal, I'm using a nebulizer with albuterol and a steroid, I use a steroid and antihistamine nasal spray I take singulair and Claritin. I'm a very healthy person, im an avid runner, I eat right and I love my job as a teacher. Im so sick of being sick and I'm starting to feel run down again. Forgot to mention that all my problems seemed to start after my first child. I don't know if that matters. What do I do? I already see an allergist, ent and pulmonologist. Do I need a new Dr?
