Please explain what happens if a nasal polyp grows back in two weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Nasal polyps are thought to be due to inflammation in the area, whether from infection, allergy or other causes. It is like a scar or callus in a sense, although the structure is quite different. Polyps tend to reoccur and may require additional surgery or topical and oral steroids.
