NASAL POLYPS
by Dr. Rajesh Shah
Definition:
A polyp is a swelling of the lining (mucosa)
of the nose and the para-nasal sinuses. Polyps generally
occur due to long-standing inflammation of the lining of the
nose and of the sinuses surrounding the nasal cavity (para-nasal
sinuses).
Symptoms:
Polyps look like small grapes deep inside the nasal cavity
and can appear singly or in clusters. They are collections
of inflammatory cells, fluid and tissue.
Common symptoms associated with polyps are:
·
Nose-block forcing an individual to breathe through the
mouth
·
Runny nose and sneezing
·
Reduced sense of smell and taste, etc.
Homeopathic treatment:
Homeopathic treatment is targeted towards the root cause of
the illness and hence the disease is treated from the core.
Homeopathy believes in treating the patient and not just the
disease.
Suggestion about homeopathic treatment:
Homoeopathy is strongly recommended for management of nasal
polyps, especially when they are small in size. Timely
administered homoeopathy medicines help avoid surgery and
its inherent complications. Moreover, it is very common for
the condition to recur even after surgery. Homoeopathy also
has preventive role to offer, by which chance of recurrence
is minimized.
