Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain Nasal Polyp is a small soft tissue growth present inside the nostril and occurs due to chronic irritation to the nasal lining like allergies, chronic sinusitis,chronic cold etc..
Nasal Polyps can cause blockage in the nostril and make it clogged..
In case if you are diagnosed with having a polyp the non surgical procedure includes steroid nasal drops as they help in shrinkage of the polyp..
At times steroid injection can be given directly into the polyp as it will help in egressing the polyp..
In case if the non surgical procedure does not provide relief then the last resort is only surgery..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
