What Is The Permanent Cure For Chronic Sinus & Recurring Nasal Polyps?
I have chronic sinus problems caused by recurring nasal polyps. I had surgery last year to remove the nasal polyps but many of them are back and I am living on antibiotics and prednisone. Can you help guide me down a different path? I had allergy shots for over a year that didn't work. I am petite and the shots really hurt my arms over time so i stopped taking them. Do you know any cure for both nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis?

Hello
well, i am afraid, there is no permanent cure for the polyps! although they can be well controlled with steroids and other medications!
The sinusitis is due to the polyps and will be relieved once the size of the polyps comes down.
The polyps are generally caused due to an allergy and the allergy shots will help!
there are many other roues for giving the allergy shots and not only injections, i would like you to discuss this with your allergy specialist.
Take care
