  https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/locations/mankato/services-and-treatments/otorhinolaryngology/nose-conditions-and-treatment/nasal-polyps

  Nasal polyps are soft, painless, noncancerous growths on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses. They hang down like teardrops or grapes. They result from chronic inflammation and are associated with asthma, recurring infection, allergies, drug sensitivity or certain immune disorders. […] If you suffer from nasal polyps, you can work with our ENT care team to develop the appropriate long-term treatment plan to manage your symptoms and to treat factors, such as allergies, that may contribute to chronic swelling (inflammation). […] The treatment goal for nasal polyps is to reduce their size or eliminate them. Medications are usually the first approach. […] If medications or drugs don’t shrink or eliminate nasal polyps, you may need endoscopic surgery to remove polyps and to correct problems with your sinuses that make them prone to inflammation and the development of polyps.

  Nasal polyps are soft, swollen, sac-like growths of inflamed tissue. They line the inside of your nose or your sinuses. […] Treatment aims to reduce inflammation, as well as the size of your polyps. Healthcare providers often start treatment with steroid medicines breathed in (inhaled) through the nose. These medicines can decrease the inflammation at the root of the problem. […] Surgery may also be needed to remove your polyps. […] Following all your healthcare providers treatment instructions can help.

  Nasal polyps can affect anyone. But they’re more common in young and middle-aged adults. Medicines can often shrink nasal polyps or get rid of them. But surgery might be needed to remove them. Even after treatment, nasal polyps often come back. […] Common symptoms of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps include: Runny, stuffy nose. Mucus running down the throat, also known as postnasal drip. Not being able to smell. Not being able to taste. Facial pain or headache. Pain in the teeth. A sense of pressure over the forehead and face. Snoring. […] See a health care provider for symptoms that last more than 10 days. Symptoms of chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps are like those of many other illnesses, including the common cold. […] The following might help lower the chances of getting nasal polyps or having nasal polyps come back after treatment: Manage allergies and asthma. Follow your treatment plan. Be sure symptoms are controlled. See your health care provider if they’re not. Avoid things that can irritate the nose. These include tobacco smoke, chemical fumes and dust. If you smoke, talk to your health care provider about ways to quit. Wash your hands often and well. This is one of the best ways to protect against infections that can cause irritation and swelling of the nose and sinuses. Use a machine that adds moisture to the air, known as a humidifier. This might help prevent the nose from getting stuffy and irritated. Clean the humidifier as directed to keep bacteria from growing. Use a nasal rinse. Rinsing the inside of the nose with a saltwater spray or nasal wash might help remove what irritates it. You can buy saltwater sprays and nasal wash kits without a prescription. Nasal wash kits come with a neti pot or squeeze bottle and directions for how to use them. Use water that’s distilled or sterile or has been boiled for one minute and cooled.

• #5 Nasal Polyps Treatment Specialist

  https://aacrockland.com/nasal-polyps

  Nasal polyps are typically a result of inflammation that is persistent due to allergies, asthma, certain immune disorders, and recurring sinus infections. Chronic nasal polyps are polyps that have been present for 12 weeks or longer. The polyp itself is not dangerous or life-threatening but should be treated to ensure that it does not eventually lead to other more serious health conditions. […] Being able to get rid of nasal polyps may depend on the initial cause of the polyps. If they are caused by allergies or a sinus infection, treating the allergies or infection will likely work to get rid of the polyps as well. If the polyps seem to be a bit more stubborn, a physician can prescribe a nasal spray with corticosteroids in it to help shrink the polyps to reduce any irritation or swelling that they may be causing, and can eventually get rid of the polyp entirely. Other treatments include an oral (pill that you swallow) steroid, injections of medicine, the placement of a stent to directly treat the polyp with medication, or a procedure to have the polyps surgically removed.

Some potential complications that could occur include obstructive sleep apnea, asthma flare-ups (chronic rhinosinusitis can aggravate asthma), and sinus infections (nasal polyps make you more susceptible to sinus infections). […] If medical management of your symptoms is unsuccessful, your doctor may recommend endoscopic sinus surgery to remove the polyps and correct problems with your sinuses. […] After surgery, your doctor may prescribe a nasal corticosteroid spray to help prevent the recurrence of nasal polyps. You may also be advised to use a nasal saline rinse to promote healing after surgery. […] No matter the treatment, nasal polyps may return. That is why it is important to determine the cause of your chronic inflammation so that we can help prevent them from returning.

• #16 Nasal Polyps Treatment Specialist

  https://aacrockland.com/nasal-polyps

  If left untreated for long enough, nasal polyps can lead to complications including: Flare-ups of asthma: frequent asthma attacks even in those who have previously had their asthma under control, fatigue, a shortness of breath. Sinusitis: a sinus infection often causing the face to feel as if it is swollen and appears puffy. While the nasal polyps themselves are not life-threatening, if left untreated they can eventually grow to be large enough that they lead to other health conditions that can cause long-term and severe damage to the body as they are continuously blocking airways. […] Unfortunately, it is very uncommon that a nasal polyp will go away without any sort of treatment. They are often fairly stubborn, making even treatments with steroid spray or prescribed medications sometimes ineffective. In many cases, the only way to completely be rid of nasal polyps is to have them surgically removed. It is, however, important that you discuss with the specialist regarding any potential causes of the nasal polyps, such as allergies or anything else that may be irritating your nasal passages as those potential causes could be making your nasal polyps feel impossible to get rid of and treatment of the potential cause would also lead to easy treatment of the polyps. Medications and sprays may be effective at shrinking the polyp, and you may be able to find at-home remedies that can also help to slow down the growth or even reverse some of the growth of the polyp, but it is very unlikely that without prescribed treatment from a specialist that the nasal polyps will simply go away on their own.

• #50 Nonsurgical Treatment of Nasal Polyps Treatment & Management: Medical Care, Surgical Care, Consultations

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/861353-treatment

  The management of nasal polyps should be based on the causative factors. Unfortunately, most cases of nasal polyps have an unclear etiology. Even if the patient is allergic, no clinical evidence shows that the management of allergies reduces or eliminates polyps. Because the underlying etiology in most cases is inflammatory, medical management is aimed at nonspecific treatment of this inflammatory disorder. […] Oral corticosteroids are the most effective short-term medical treatment for nasal polyps. These nonspecific anti-inflammatory agents quickly and substantially reduce the size of inflammatory polyps and improve symptoms. Patients whose polyps respond to oral corticosteroids may be re-treated safely 3-4 times a year, especially if they are not candidates for surgery. […] Intranasal steroid sprays may reduce or retard the growth of small nasal polyps, but they are relatively ineffective in massive nasal polyposis. Intranasal corticosteroid sprays reduce the growth of small intranasal polyps and are most effective in the postoperative period to prevent or retard regrowth of the polyps.
