Nasal polyp: It is thought that ongoing (chronic) inflammation in the nose causes swelling (oedema) of the lining of the nostril. Due to gravity, this swelling hangs down (dependent oedema), forming the polyp. Polyps usually affect both nostrils and can gradually enlarge, blocking the nose.http://patient.info/health/nasal-polyps-leaflet
