A member asked:
After my diagnosis of rhinitis my dr said i have a nose polyp that may need removal. this has never even bothered me. is it necessary then now?

Depends: Polyps can occur with rhinitis. They tend to recur after surgery and/or treatment. Removing them is indicated if they are severely impairing your breathing or drainage of your sinus passages. If you are not convinced, take a second opinion from an allergist or otolaryngologist.
