What are the causes of nasal polyps

2018-07-23 12:34:28
I am a 36 year old man and I have recently lost the sense of taste and smell. I find it really difficult to breathe and it kind of burns when I forcefully try to inhale. I was told by my wife that it could be Nasal Polyps. What are the causes of Nasal Polyps? What are the symptoms? Should I go to the doctor or will this lack of senses pass over time. Please help me with home remedies.
