A member asked:
Had nasal scope done 1.5 years ago, dr saw small cyst in nasopharynx--retention cyst? horrible allergies all year long... likely the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not but: First see your allergist to be examined and start initial treatment....There are many very good, safe medications. If you don't improve, ask them to send you back to the ENT to be re-checked.
