Breathing issues due to nasal polyps

Nasal polyps are often times caused by allergies. They are called allergic nasal polyps. It is important to get allergy tested and desensitized for immunotherapy. It is also important to make sure your allergies, if any allergies, are treated with antihistamines, decongestants, and cortisone nasal sprays. A temporary measure to shrink these polyps would be to inject a small amount of cortisone into them, but they do tend to return as soon as the cortisone wears off in a month or two.... more

Surgery is the best but not the only option

Hello Vashnavi Polyp surgery is actually very easy. You would breathe better almost immediately, and there is usually very little pain involved. Many patients do not even choose to take pain medicine. Nasal steroid sprays can shrink the polyps a little, but won't have any effect on the nasal bones you described. I hope this helps.
