Nasal polyps and fungus
Hi ,
I have nasal polyps and fungus. It results in right side severe headache and water from right eye several times a day. Doctor has recommended me for surgery although i know few possible risk are associated with it like, losing the smell power, it may affect eyes and brain.
I m avoiding surgery for the time being as it is at initial stage and considering home remedy only.
I want to use tea tree oil for nasal polyps and fungus.
Can anybody tell me how to use it exactly? I m already taking steam 2-3 times a day.
PS- i have nasal polyps only in right nostril. Left is perfectly working fine.
Thanks

If you have nasal polyps which are diagnosed by appropriate investigations such as endoscopic examination or CT scan of paranasal sinuses then home remedies are not really useful. You may need to take medications such as steroids and anti Histamine medicines for few weeks which usually reduce size of polyps. Surgery is necessary if medicines do not work
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
