It's difficult to definitively diagnose whether your nasal issue is polyps or swollen turbinates without a visual examination. However, the symptoms you've described (sneezing, runny nose, blocked nose, and sometimes a blocked throat) are common in both conditions, particularly when associated with allergic rhinitis, which you've also mentioned. Treatment options beyond surgery for both nasal polyps and turbinate hypertrophy include medications and lifestyle changes

I've been taking HIFENACP twice daily for 3 days, along with Levocetirizine and Azithromycin once daily because I had a fever of 102 and body ache. I'm almost done with the medication, but my throat infection is still really bad. Should I continue the medication or switch to something else? If yes, what would you recommend?
yes continue the treatment

Yes, there are non-surgical and natural approaches to managing vocal cord polyps, and consulting with specialists in India is a good idea. Non-surgical options include voice therapy, lifestyle modifications (hydration, avoiding irritants), and sometimes medication. Homeopathy and other alternative therapies are also explored by some.
