About nasal polyps
Nasal polyps are soft, painless, non-cancerous swellings that grow on the lining of the nose and sinuses, usually after long-standing inflammation. They are linked with chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, aspirin sensitivity and, in children, cystic fibrosis. The main symptoms are a blocked nose, a runny nose or post-nasal drip, a reduced sense of smell and taste, facial pressure, snoring and frequent sinus infections. An ENT specialist confirms them by nasal endoscopy, and treatment includes steroid nasal sprays, a course of steroid tablets, newer injectable medicines in severe cases and surgery for larger polyps. Polyps often return, so managing allergy and inflammation is important. See a doctor if only one side is blocked, if there is bleeding, or if there are changes in vision.
