I've been told I have nasal polyps in my right nostril. I went to an ENT and they said I needed a CT scan, which I did. After reviewing the scan, the doc said I should have surgery right away and didn't even suggest any medication first. It feels a bit suspicious to me. From what I've found online, these polyps seem pretty common. I'm just wondering if there are medicines or home remedies I could try before jumping into surgery. What do you think?

I'm feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat. It seems to get better when I eat something hot or drink hot water. I saw a GP and got some Coldact and an acidity tablet, but I'm not understanding why it keeps coming back. Any ideas on what could be going on?
