Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. omz's  Response
HI

Samter's triad is a medical condition consisting of asthma, aspirin sensitivity, and nasal/ethmoidal polyposis. It occurs in middle age (twenties and thirties are the most common onset times) and may not include any allergies.

YES YOU MAY BE SUFFERING FROM SAMTER DISEASE BUT FOR THAT YOU WILL HAVE SENSITIVITY REACTION TO ASPIRIN ,IBUBRUFEN OR ANY OTHER NSAID(A SIMPLE TEST FOR SAMTERS DISEASE) AND I THINK AFTER YOUR POLYPECTOMY THE SURGEONS MUST HAVE GIVEN YOU PAIN KILLERS LIKE(NSAIDS) WHICH HAD FURTHER DETERIORATED YOUR SAMTERS DISEASE AND ASTHMA

TREATMENT IS MONTELUKAST

TAKE CARE
