NASAL POLYPS
by Dr. Rajesh Shah Definition:
A polyp is a swelling of the lining (mucosa)
of the nose and the para-nasal sinuses. Polyps generally
occur due to long-standing inflammation of the lining of
the nose and of the sinuses surrounding the nasal cavity (para-nasal
sinuses).
Symptoms:
Polyps look like small grapes deep inside the nasal cavity
and can appear singly or in clusters. They are collections
of inflammatory cells, fluid and tissue.
Common symptoms associated with polyps are:
·
Nose-block forcing an individual to breathe through the
mouth
·
Runny nose and sneezing
·
Reduced sense of smell and taste, etc.
Homeopathic treatment:
Homeopathic treatment is targeted towards the root cause
of the illness and hence the disease is treated from the
core. Homeopathy believes in treating the patient and not
just the disease.
Suggestion about homeopathic treatment:
Homoeopathy is strongly recommended for management of
nasal polyps, especially when they are small in size.
Timely administered homoeopathy medicines help avoid
surgery and its inherent complications. Moreover, it is
very common for the condition to recur even after surgery.
Homoeopathy also has preventive role to offer, by which
chance of recurrence is minimized.
