I've been having these solid gummy fleshy things come out of my nose which I think might be nasal polyps. I get really bad sinus infections about three times a year since my tonsils and adenoids were taken out when I was in 4th grade. I'm 20 now and these sinus infections just seem to hit me overnight. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to prevent them?

I've had a cold with a cough for the past 10 days. I've been taking cough syrup, and it seemed to be getting better, but just yesterday, my left side of my face started hurting and I've been feeling really weak. Should I be worried about these new symptoms, or is this something that could still be connected to my cold? What should I do next?
The sudden onset of left-sided facial pain and weakness, following a 10-day cold and cough, could indicate a possible post-viral complication, such as trigeminal neuralgia, facial neuritis, or even a mild stroke; seek immediate medical attention from a primary care physician
