I gather that you had allergic rhinitis with polyposis.
Your nasal mucosa gets congested and polps occur bcoz of allergy and air flow to the olfactory area is lost which decreases smell sensation though breathing is normal or compromised.
Do consult ENT Specialist and Immunologist for allergic treatment
