Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain nasal polyps are soft tissues masses or overgrowth that are formed due to chronic irritation or chronic infection and inflammation like in conditions of Allergies, Chronic Upper Respiratory Tract Infection, Chronic Sinusitis etc..
Nasal polyps can cause difficulty in breathing as they can obstruct the airway..
Non surgical treatment includes Steroid Nasal Spray as they help in shrinkage of the polyp..
At times Steroid injection are given directly into the lesion and it can help in shrinkage of the lesion..
But in case if nothing works surgery under a trained ENT Surgeon to excise the polyp has to be done..
You should also get evaluated for the exact cause of polyp formation and treatment of the same can help in reducing formation of polyps..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
