See your ENT doctor: If you believe you have a nasal polyp, you should see your ENT (ear, nose and throat) doctor to confirm the diagnosis and provide you a treatment plan.

Nasal Polyp: You should consult a ENT specialist to look in your nostril and find out what is making it bleed and what needs to be done.Usually polyps are assciated with nasal allergy and you may benefit from nasal steroids and antihistamines and if it is causing obstruction then you may need surgery.

See an ENT: Nasal polyps usually do not bleed. See an ENT doctor to rule out other causes immediately.
