Can anyone tell me if there is a natural remedy for nasal polyps? I suffered all winter long and finally went to an ENT which just confirmed what I thought all along. Prednisone won't be good, I tried it and because of my underactive thyroid it messed with my adrenals. It had a not so good ending. No word from the doctor either.
I also take Singulair which keeps down the swelling in my bronchial tubes and lungs. The nasal sprays never worked for me nor the emergency inhalers. Budesonide keeps the polyps down and this med. has been a life saver! Also the allergy serum has been a life saver! With out these three meds my sinus's swell up so much that I can't talk and I get a severe head ache. I was suddenly allergic to dust mites, mold, yeast,dogs and pollen- two years after my polyps were removed.
I am currently taking antibiotics, prednisone, nasonex, atrovent, asteline, and nasal wash before the sprays (I have never taken all three before, but I thought it may be worth a try). Also, I am going for another CT scan this week. I also take a boat load of vitamins daily. I walk three miles a day. I do not smoke or drink. I have also been avoiding dairy. If any one has any help to offer, it would be greatly appreciated!!!
Hi,
Omnaris (ciclesonide) is a steroid used in treating the inflammation, congestion, sneezing, itching, and runny or stuffy nose that occur due to sinus infections or nasal polyps. Nasal polyps are treated by inhalational or oral steroids or with surgery( open or endoscopic). Although inhalational steroids cause fewer side effects than oral steroids, long-term use can lead to nasal bleeding or perforation of the septum and an increased risk of glaucoma.
I have had polyps and adenoids and nasal cavity surgery ,two years back,but since last week i am suffering with severe Sinus,first two days had blood in mucos from both nose and mouth,having administered with Ciproflaxcin 500mg and Alaspan,Aeo vit D3 &Otrivin nasal spray,the bleeding is stopped ,but the pain and irritation in ear & nose ,and dizziness and nausea persists.....What would be the best remedy ?????
Nasal polyps can usually be managed by the use of an inhaled nasal steroid. However, if the polyps are large and causing significant obstruction to nasal airflow, that would prevent contact of the steroid with the surface of the polyps, inhalation therapy alone may not suffice. In such circumstances, surgical removal may be necessary, followed by nasal steroid inhalation to prevent recurrence.
The first was to remove polyps and a deviated septum, the second was revision surgery to remove scar tissue and to drill windows in for drainage, the third was to remove a frontal sinus infection, and the fourth was to reduce the turbinate on the right side. I have continually recurring bouts of thickened mucous and inflammation that ends up in repeated infections. I also had repeated bronchitis and have now been diagnosed with adult onset asthma.
Are there other signs r symptoms present? Medications are the most common treatment for small nasal polyps. If you have one or more small polyps, your doctor is likely to prescribe a corticosteroid nasal spray which may relieve inflammation, increase nasal airflow and may help shrink polyps. For larger growths, surgery may be indicated. Polyps have a tendency to recur. It would be best to have it evaluated by a specialist (ENT) for proper management.
Take care and keep us posted.
Nasal polyps (NPs) represent a common clinical end point for a number of inflammatory disease processes involving the paranasal sinuses. Chronic rhinosinusitis is the most common cause for NPs, but not all NPs are created equally.
The presence of a nasal polyp may offer the best clue as to what is happening in your nose and sinuses. Such polyps are often associated with the production of excessive mucous that leads to throat clearing.
I am 29 and have asthma. I had surgery six weeks ago for the removal of my polyps. I was told they are already growing back. I have taken every medication possible (steroids, antibot's and sprays). Is there anything else I can possibly try? I am so upset about this. I have lost two jobs and have no hope of ever feeling better. Nothing seems to work. I have chronic sinus infections constantly and horrible headaches that never go away. Please help!
This sounds a lot like what I had. After a CT of the head they found that I had many, many nasal polyps. There were so many I couldn't breathe and my nose ran all the time (or was stopped up). When I laid on my side the water which couldn't escape because the polyps blocked the exit) just stayed in and blocked my breathing. I had never heard of polyps, but my dentist noticed them on x-ray of my teeth and explained that I needed to have them removed.
Hello,
What you are having can be due to sinus congestion especially chronic sinusitis. It can be due to allergic nasal polyps or tumors, allergic reactions, deviated nasal septum, trauma to the face, respiratory tract infections, allergies such as hay fever, immune system cells or cystic fibrosis.
It is important to find out the cause of chronic sinusitis as then specific treatment can be started. Treatment varies from saline and steroid nasal sprays to decongestants and antibiotics.
The 2 most common causes in adolescents and adults are deviation of the nasal septum and nasal polyps, the latter often associated with chronic allergic inflammation of the nose. A deviated nasal septum can be corrected with surgery. Nasal polyps were, in the past, often treated surgically but at this time treatment with an inhaled nasal steroid, such as Flonase® (fluticasone), can effectively shrink the nasal polyps.
You should make arrangements to be seen by an ENT specialist.
Prednisone was only for six days, so just finished that up tonight. Still on antibiotic for 3 more, 10 total. Nasal spray for 30 days. My energy seems better, the lightheadedness maybe not as bad but still present. Things seemed better during the week but today a little tinglig in the forehead like usual. Tingling seems to increase at night after a long hard day like today. The prednisone has caused my sleep to be a little erratic, having some goofy dreams and waking up more often.
Second, an attempt should be made to shrink your polyps by the regular use of a prescription nasal steroid spray. This is difficult if not impossible in the circumstance where a nostril is completely blocked and airflow minimal to zero. It can be accomplished, however, with patience and persistence.
