How serious are nasal polyps and is surgery the only option to treat them? I'm worried about them coming back after surgery, can you suggest other treatments or ways to prevent recurrence?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Nasal polyps are generally not serious but can cause significant discomfort and breathing difficulties. While surgery can remove polyps, they often return, even after treatment. Fortunately, there are various treatment options and strategies to manage polyps and reduce the risk of recurrence

My throat's been hurting for a couple of days now, but its not like a typical sore throat. The pain feels like its on the outside at two specific spots, and it doesnt hurt when I swallow or anything, no cold symptoms either. The pain's just there constantly, whether I talk, sneeze, yawn, or even touch my throat. Eating and drinking seem normal though. Is it okay if I have cold foods or spicy stuff? And should I be doing any gargling since it's not like the usual throat pain we hear about?
Yes, you can eat cold things and normal spicy food. For the pain in your throat, it is advisable to gargle with warm salt water. Dissolve half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and gargle with it several times a day. This can help reduce inflammation and provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) following the recommended dosage on the package.
