What you're ...: Describing is not ideal but may not be abnormal. If you are able to completely clean residual mucus and blood from the nasal passages by irrigating, theoretically you should be able to breathe through both sides of you nose well. What is your surgeon telling you? Occasionally polyps will regrow after the surgery and have to be treated with oral steroids for an extended period.

My partner is currently on Prednisone for Nasal congestion and the GP said she has a Polyp up one nostril and tonight we have noticed 2 more.
Left nasal polyp surgically removed over 3 years ago. Now, left nostril partially blocked near sinus opening with what feels like a mucus cyst. Breathing out is difficult from left nostril. Remedy?
I have done FESS last year & since then, I'm doing saline rinse(2times/day) and using steroid spray(1time/day) in my nostrils regularly. So, other GP said to discontinue steroid spray. Should I? Because I'm worried it may trigger the polyps again?
