Many people ask if nasal polyps are temporary growth that goes away without treatment. Only in rare cases no treatment is required to get rid of nasal polyps.

People who have small sized nasal polyps may have to take simple medicines to shrink the polyps and get rid of it.

People having large sized polyps will require strong medicines and even surgery to get rid of the problem.

In most of the cases one cannot leave the problem untreated because you never know how big a polyp can grow.

Very large sized polyps can completely block the nose and make you breathe through the month.

It is always recommended that you visit a ENT doctor and get your nasal polyps examined. Mostly these are non-cancerous and harmless. However there are other diseases that have symptoms similar to nasal polyps and therefore you should consult a doctor.

Your doctor may prescribe some steroids in the form of spray or many be oral steroids for shrinking the polyps.

Even doxycycline is prescribed for shrinking of nasal polyps. You may have to take this medicine for several weeks to see the results.

One easy way to get some relief in a few days is by using castor oil. You can take a few drops of castor oil and put in the nostril by using a dropper. When you put the oil you should be lying in your bed so that the oil reaches the nasal cavity.

Use the oil for the next few weeks and you should be able to shrink the polyps very soon.

Some people may see the results in just a week and others may take several weeks before the shrinking starts.
