Question 1

I'm dealing with nasal polyps in both of my nasal cavities and it's been really frustrating. I'm not sure what the best treatment options are. Can you guide me on what I should consider or expect when dealing with nasal polyps? And is there anything specific that has worked well for others or is usually recommended? It's been affecting my day-to-day life and I'd really appreciate some advice.

Accepted Answer

The treatment for nasal polyps typically involves the use of intranasal corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and shrink the polyps. I recommend using Flonase (fluticasone) nasal spray, 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. In addition, you can also use Nasacort (triamcinolone) nasal spray, 1-2 sprays in each nostril once daily. These medications can help improve symptoms and reduce the size of the nasal polyps.

Accidental Ingestion of Cigarette Ash-Contaminated Water

_Don't panic_: The risks associated with ingesting small amounts of cigarette ash are relatively low.

_Possible effects:_

1. _Gastrointestinal upset_: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort may occur due to the toxic substances present in cigarette ash.

    - Headache
    - Dizziness
    - Nausea
    - Increased heart rate
3. _Chemical exposure_: Cigarette ash contains various chemicals, including heavy metals and carcinogens. However, the amounts ingested are likely to be minimal.

2. _Monitor your health_: Keep an eye on your symptoms and seek medical attention if you experience severe or persistent effects.
