What Are Nasal Polyps?

Nasal polyps are soft, painless growths in the lining of the nose and sinuses. They form when the lining stays inflamed for a long time, often from chronic sinusitis, allergies, asthma, or sensitivity to aspirin. Small polyps may cause no symptoms at all. Larger ones block airflow, dull your sense of smell, and trap mucus so sinus infections keep coming back. Polyps aren’t cancer, but they do tend to return after treatment unless the underlying inflammation is managed.

Nasal Polyps Symptoms

Common symptoms include:
A stuffy, blocked nose that doesn't clear
A reduced or lost sense of smell and taste
Runny nose or postnasal drip
Facial pressure or a feeling of fullness
Repeated or lingering sinus infections
Snoring or breathing through your mouth
Mild headaches around the sinuses

Not sure whether it's polyps, chronic congestion, or a sinus infection?

How ENT Urgent Care helps

A blocked nose and lost smell aren’t always polyps. Chronic sinusitis, allergies, and a deviated septum can cause similar symptoms. An ENT-focused exam confirms whether polyps are present and how much they’re contributing.

During your visit, your ENT provider may look inside the nose with a small scope, review your history, and recommend a plan based on what they find.

Treatment may include:

  • Nasal steroid sprays to shrink polyps and reduce swelling
  • Treatment for allergies and asthma when they're driving the inflammation
  • A short course of oral steroids in some cases
  • In-office sinus CT imaging to map the sinuses
  • Polypectomy, removal of polyps that block breathing and dull smell
  • Sinus procedures like balloon sinuplasty when sinuses stay blocked
  • Referral for biologic therapy or advanced ENT care in severe or recurring cases

Virtual ENT Care

Virtual ENT care can help with symptom review, managing known polyps, and planning next steps, especially if you've been diagnosed before.

In-Person Visit

An in-person visit is usually needed to confirm nasal polyps, since your ENT provider needs to look inside the nose with a scope and may order imaging.

Can nasal polyps go away on their own?
Usually not. Small polyps sometimes shrink with steroid sprays, but polyps form from ongoing inflammation, so they tend to stay or grow unless that inflammation is treated. The goal of care is to shrink them, relieve the blockage, and manage what's driving them so they're less likely to come back.
They can. Removing polyps opens up breathing and smell, but if the underlying inflammation from allergies, asthma, or chronic sinusitis isn't managed, polyps often return over time. That's why treatment usually pairs a procedure with ongoing care like steroid sprays and allergy management.
Yes. Polyps near the top of the nasal passages can block the area responsible for smell, which dulls or removes your sense of smell and taste. Treating the polyps often improves smell, though how much it returns varies from person to person.
Often the first step is non-surgical: steroid sprays, allergy and asthma treatment, and sometimes a short course of oral steroids. When polyps are large, keep returning, or block breathing despite those steps, a procedure like polypectomy may be recommended. Your ENT provider can explain the options.
