When to see a doctor about nasal polyps
Anyone who has any of the symptoms associated with nasal polyps should make an appointment to visit their doctor. A doctor can diagnose the symptoms to determine whether nasal polyps exist in the nasal passage and recommend appropriate treatment.
People with existing nasal polyps and who experience worsening of symptoms should visit their doctor to be re-evaluated.
People with any of the risk factors for nasal polyps (allergic rhinitis or sinusitis especially) and who notice their nasal symptoms are getting worse (really severely blocked nose) should visit their doctor to diagnose their symptoms and provide appropriate treatment.
People who experience a lot of snoring or sleep apnoea symptoms and who also suffer from recurrent sinusitis infection or have chronic allergic rhinitis or asthma, should visit their doctor for further diagnosis.
