A member asked:

I had nasal polyp removal surgery four days ago. today my nose is completely blocked. can they grow back that fast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No they don't: You'll have some swelling and tenderness inside your nose after the surgery, but this is normal. It can take several weeks for you to fully recover.
