I should have done with salt with water or salt spray which Y recommended you. This is very good method to clean up your internal nose.

Your doctor must fix your deviated septum and get rid of your polyps. You will feel a lot better for a whole year. If the polyps grow back, then consider a small laser surgery in the office instead of operation on the bed.

Can you ask your parents if they have a polyp in their nasal? It is definitely that has to do with your inhertiance. If they said no, then do they have stuffy nose most of time? If yes, that it could be a possible that one of your parent s has it. If still no, then that would be your first one in your family which mean that your kid will have it someday. Nobody (included doctors) really know why there is a polyp in our body.

I better go out for a dinner someone is waiting for me...
