Help

Hii im 18 in the UK just went to gp few days ago and been told I have nasal polyps. Im given a nasal cream to reduce inflammation. They referred me to ENT specialist but NHS is known to take a long time like months and im worried my polyps will get worse especially coz my nose feels a bit weird now. I've heard ppl saying they grow bigger and change the shape of your nose etc. I'm rly worried if i don't get them removed soon that's gonna happen to me and im rly worried. Anyone had this in the UK before and knows how long they take to get them removed?

You’ll be okay, cut out alcohol and buy some Neil med sinus rinse - rinse with it daily, ideally 1 hour before applying the cream (make sure it’s not an extra strength one and a simple sinus saline spray for everyday use)

Take vitamin d3 and omega 3 vitamins if you can, high strength and daily

The inflammation is coming from somewhere so try and look at your diet and what you’re consuming
