There are no polyps in the CT scan
No surgery needed
The problem of your frequent colds is due to allergies to dust/ fungus/ pollens. Surgery will not cure allergy
Get a skin prick allergy test done to identify the cause and will be managed thereafter. Oral vaccines for allergy will be prescribed as a permanent method of cure
Next Steps
Skin prick allergy test

Let me guess...The second ENT specialist is a young newbie.
Since you do not have any symptoms, just doing Jala Neti with warm saline with intranasal corticosteroid sprays and oral antihistamines should suffice for the next 6 months.
