I have been suffering from severe nasal
congestion/block, right greater than left for 2 years. Recently took CT scan on advice from ENT Dr. the report says polypoidal mucosal thickening bilateral maxillary sinus, bilateral ethmoid and sphenoid sinus, and bilateral frontal sinus with mild S shaped nasal deviation. I have been put on Montek 10 mg at night and Flutiflo nasal spray twice a day 1 puff each nostril with not much relief. I have tried Ayurvedic treatment again with no relief. I don't want surgery, but would want to have it cured with medicine. I am diabetic, hypertensive and hypothyroid patient on medication. please advise the best solution. thanks.

Nasal polyps are soft, painless, noncancerous growths on the lining of your nasal passages or sinuses. They hang down like teardrops or grapes. They result from chronic inflammation due to asthma, recurring infection, allergies, drug sensitivity or certain immune disorders. Medications can often shrink or eliminate nasal polyps, but surgery is sometimes needed to remove them. Even after successful treatment, nasal polyps often return. In your case since it is widespread and medications have shown no effect it is advisable to undergo the endoscopic nasal polyp removal.
