How to Prevent Nasal Polyps

Nasal polyps are a relatively common disease of the nose. Nasal polyps are an inflammatory reaction of the nasal mucosa. When nasal polyps are relatively small, there are generally no symptoms, just a stuffy nose. Nasal polyps must be treated promptly. If not treated in time, they will cause the nasal polyps to grow larger. In severe cases, it will cause the nose to deform. Affecting the appearance is a minor matter, but blocking the nasal airway is a major matter, affecting breathing.

When nasal polyps first appear, you will feel that there is mucus in your nose blocking your nostrils, and the patient will often breathe through his mouth. In the long run, it will cause a series of diseases such as pharyngitis and laryngitis. Therefore, nasal polyps must be detected and treated early.

1. Actively prevent and treat colds and flu, and add or remove clothing in time according to seasonal changes

2. Avoid spicy food, alcohol and other irritating foods
