I can see a thick tear-drop-sized fleshy lump in my right nostril that's blocking my nasal passage could this be nasal polyps? It makes breathing difficult sometimes, and I alternate between a runny nose and a blocked nose. I really don't want surgery can you suggest how to cure this polyp naturally? My general physician said recovery might take 36 months or more, and I'm currently using Montek 10 and Flomist spray. Will these medications actually help shrink the polyps? Also, is homeopathy effective for treating nasal polyps?

I took a pudin hara pearl and it ended up getting stuck in my throat, bursting possibly because of dryness. After feeling an intense peppermint sensation in my throat and nose, I'm left with this roughness and dryness, feeling like there's something still there. What should I do about this?

For a running nose, consider trying: Tablets: 1. Loratadine (Claritin) - non-drowsy, 24-hour relief 2. Cetirizine (Zyrtec) - fast-acting, 24-hour relief 3. Fexofenadine (Allegra) - non-drowsy, 24-hour relief Nasal Sprays (milder than Otrivin): 1. Azelastine (Astelin) 2. Oxymetazoline (Afrin) - use for only 3-5 days Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medication, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or take other medications.

I have a deviated septum and my ENT doctor recommended surgery after seeing my CT scan but said it's optional and up to me to decide. My main issues are one nostril always being blocked, post nasal drip causing cough, and tinnitus. Right now I manage with cetirizine but I'm not sure if I should go for surgery. What factors should I consider when deciding? My CT scan shows the deviation but I'm worried about recovery and whether it'll actually help my symptoms long-term.

for P/E ENT specialist opinion is advised to the patient.
